Alstom and Mazovian Railways signed a contract for P5 overhauls of Traxx locomotives

The scope of the P5 overhaul will include, among others, comprehensive inspections and repairs of components and assemblies in accordance with the maintenance system documentation and technical and operational documentation. This will involve detailed inspections, diagnostics and overhauls of mechanical, electrical and pneumatic systems, as well as renewal of the locomotive body paint coatings. Bogie overhauls will include the required non-destructive testing, including ultrasonic (UT) and magnetic particle (MT) tests, as well as overhauls of wheelsets. Alstom’s FlexCare Perform service solutions will ensure that Mazovian Railways’ Traxx locomotives operate at the highest levels of performance and availability in the years ahead.

Traxx locomotives from Alstom’s portfolio are characterised by high operational performance, reliability, energy efficiency and extended maintenance intervals. They are designed on the basis of a modular platform used in both passenger and freight transport, for domestic and cross-border services, and are available in various configurations (AC, DC and multi-system).

“We are pleased that in the coming quarters we will be supporting Mazovian Railways in modernising its fleet, enabling Traxx locomotives to reliably serve the regional operator, which has been breaking passenger transport records, for many years to come. Worldwide, Alstom currently provides maintenance services for more than 2,450 locomotives, including over 600 modern multi-system Traxx locomotives. We proudly observe the growing position of Traxx locomotives on the Polish market as one of the pillars of safe, reliable and cost-effective railways, both in passenger and freight transport. In Alstom’s Polish sites, we are continuously developing the value chain related to the production and maintenance of Traxx locomotives – from manufacturing key components to consistently strengthening service capabilities,” emphasises Beata Rusinowicz, Managing Director of Alstom in Poland.

More than 100 Traxx locomotives are currently in operation on Polish railways. Their number will increase in the coming months, with orders currently underway for more than 60 Traxx Universal locomotives. Key locomotive components, including car bodies, are manufactured in Wrocław, highlighting the importance of Poland’s industrial base in the global supply chain. The dynamic development of the locomotive market translates into growing demand from railway operators for comprehensive and professional maintenance services that ensure high fleet availability and reliability.

“Mazovian Railways are one of the leaders in the passenger rail market. Last year, a record number of passengers used our services – over 70 million. We continuously improve the quality of our transport services by investing in the purchase of modern rolling stock. In 2023–2025 alone, we signed contracts for the purchase of 101 vehicles of various types. We also focus on modernising the vehicles already in operation, including Traxx locomotives. Thanks to them, we were the first operator in the country to launch push‑pull services. Locomotives play a key role in operating accelerated services on lines with high passenger volumes. The major overhaul they will soon undergo will undoubtedly contribute to improved safety and travel comfort on our trains,” says Robert Stępień, CEO of Mazovian Railways.
