Dávid Vitézy: MÁV has announced a new public procurement for used Swiss railcars

MÁV has initiated a new procurement process for the maintenance of used Swiss Stadler GTW trains, as announced by Minister Vitézy Dávid. The plan includes acquiring up to 93 trains to expand the fleet. The procurement was started under the previous government, but the initial maintenance offers were deemed uncompetitive and overpriced. Vitézy revoked the previous minister's order to sign the contract, emphasizing the need for better financial proposals. The goal remains to acquire modern, comfortable, low-floor, and reliable vehicles for Hungarian railways without overpaying.
