Škoda Group has announced that the contract for ČD (České dráhy, a.s.), performed at the Škoda Group in Šumperk. It is a contract for the repair and conversion of RegioPanter 440 series units into dual-system units. At the moment the seventh of twelve converted units have already passed the prescribed tests on the circuit in Výzkumný Ústav Železniční, a.s.

The conversion and modification will allow the trains to run on all electrified lines. This includes also those lines on which the power supply will be switched to a 25 kV 50 Hz AC system (compared to today's current of 3 kV).

The Škoda Group provides repair, modernization and maintenance services for vehicles not only for its own products, but also for the products of other manufacturers, and cooperation with ČD is another proof of that.
