Pesa Bydgoszcz, a Polish manufacturer, is set to acquire Leipzig-based tram builder HeiterBlick GmbH to enhance its presence in the European rail market, supported by Poland's state-owned development fund PFR. This strategic move follows a €1.6 billion financing agreement aimed at boosting production capacity and addressing operational needs, as Pesa seeks to double its output and expand its international contracts. The company, which currently has an order backlog exceeding PLN 15 billion (€3.5 billion), is also developing innovative products, including a high-speed electric multiple unit and a hydrogen-powered locomotive.
