The Newag Impuls is family of electric trains for regional and express train services made by Newag of Poland.
Description
The Impuls family of trains are low-floor, electric multiple units equipped with a full interior monitoring system, air-conditioning, passenger information system and can have ticket dispensers if requested.
Their interior is suitable for the needs of passengers with reduced mobility. It features sloping floors, folded steps, broad aisles and a designated space for wheelchairs and bicycles. In the vehicle, motor bogies are used as well as Jacobs bogies (mounted between each two cars). The bogies have a modern gear system and two-stage spring suspension systems that effectively muffles vibrations, thus enhancing comfort while travelling.[1]
The trains can be built in various configurations. The two-car variant is known as (EZT 37 WE), three-car (EZT 36WE), four-car (EZT 31 WE) and six-car (EZT 35 WE). The trains can have interiors built suitable for commuter and suburban trains but also for long distance routes.[2]
The first design was launched in 2012. One of the trains produced for Koleje Dolnośląskie, broke the Polish speed record of 211 km/h (131 mph) in 2013 on the test track and is so far the fastest passenger train produced in Poland.
