Polish long-distance operator PKP Intercity (PKPIC) is introducing three new types of diesel loco - one brand new, the other two rebuilt from earlier locos. When deliveries are complete in 2016 very few earlier diesel locos will remain in passenger service; new DMUs have already largely replaced locos used by regional operator Przewozy Regionalne (PR) during the last decade. Polish train manufacturer Pesa is building 10 brand new diesel locos for PKP IC. The Bo-Bo locos are the diesel-electric version of Pesa's 'Gama' loco, which is also available as an electric loco. The Pesa'Gama 111Db' has a 2,400kW MTU16V 4000 R84engine. The £23 million contract to buy the 10 new diesel locos includes maintenance by Pesa - paid for at 60p every kilometre, based on the distance run. The first three Class SU160 locos (as the Pesa 'Gama 111Db' has been numbered) entered service at Lublin, south east of Warsaw, in April.
