History

In September 2009, the Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland announced a tender for two and three-section diesel multiple units. Newag, in order to enter a new market, went in cooperation with EC Engineering Company which has designed the units and started their production in February 2010, before signing an agreement with the local government in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, which took place on May 21. The first produced 221M was transferred to InnoTrans Trade Fair in Berlin in September 2010.[3]

Altogether the 220M / 221M series has had 5 orders:

Successor

In addition, at each door, there is a sliding step made for easy boarding from the lower station platforms. In the unit there is a storage zone with a high floor height of 1200 mm.[7]

Both of the units have a two-axle drive 74RSNa type of a wheelbase of 2500 mm, and the two-axle units use the Jakobs 72RSTa system type with a wheelbase of 2900 mm. The chassis is held on gas springs (stage two of the suspension) and coil springs (first level of the suspension).[9]

The drive of the unit uses two drive units in the power-pack system, consisting of a diesel engine with a capacity of 390 kW, power transmission, compressor, generator and the engine cooling system. The range of the unit is 1000 km.[10]
