Foreword Poland has with almost 20’000 km of tracks the 3rd largest railway network in the European Union. In previous years the Polish transport investments were focused on the road network. With the EU funds for 2014-2020, the Polish government intends to focus more on the railway network. Until 2020 more than 15bn EUR will be spent for the modernisation of the railway system. This includes new railway vehicles, rails, electric traction, equipment for rail-traffic management etc. In addition to the national railway system, there are 15 cities in Poland with an active tram network. Local authorities will invest in modern and eco-friendly tramways. Warsaw is currently the only city in Poland which has its own subway system. With 28 stations and a total length of 29 km it is so far one of the smallest metro systems in Europe. Within the next years, 20 new stations will be added to the metro network. There are important investments ahead in all sectors of public transportation. Swiss companies active in the railway, tramway or metro sector can benefit from these market opportunities by taking part in public tenders or as sub-suppliers.

Market overview The railway industry includes activities of companies focused on production of railway vehicles as well as variety of railway infrastructure, e.g. rails and related elements, electric traction, equipment dedicated to rail-traffic management etc. Taking into consideration types of railway networks, the market can be divided into three sectors: national railway system, tram-infrastructure and subway. As these sectors are independently managed and can be treated separately, the below market overview will follow this division. 2.1. NATIONAL RAILWAY SYSTEM The rail has existed in Poland since 1842 but the vast majority of railway tracks were built before World War II. There were over 19,2 k km of exploited railway lines in Poland in 2014 according to the data presented by the Office of Rail Transport. When it comes to companies operating on this market, the national railway system is dominated by the nationally owned entity – PKP Group (http://pkpsa.pl/en/pkp-group) which was founded in 2001 as a result of the restructuring of the state enterprise Polskie Koleje Państwowe (Polish State Railways). PKP Group is a conglomerate of different companies as following: PKP SA – a parent company. PKP PLK SA (PKP Polish Railway Lines), PKP Intercity, PKP SKM, PKP Cargo, PKP LHS, TK Telekom, PKP Energetyka, PKP Informatyka, “Natura Tour” Railway Tourism and Leisure Enterprise, Drukarnia Kolejowa Krakow and CS Szkolenie i Doradztwo. Apart from PKP Group there is a number of private cargo operators, as well as a number of independent passenger operators, owned predominantly by Voivodship governments. PKP PLK SA is a key operator of railway lines and exploits 92,87 % of them. The chart below shows the structure: Graph 1 The length of exploited railway tracks by companies in Poland (%), 2014 PKP LHS 2.12% Jastrzębska Spółka Kolejowa 0.23% PMT Linie Kolejowe 0.22% WKD CTL Maczki 0.23% PKP PLK 95.84% Infra Silesia 0.33% Euroterminal Sławków 0.05% 0.21% PKP SKM 0.17% UBB Polska 0.01% KP Kotlarnia 0.61% Source: Office of Rail Transport The density of railway tracks in Poland has changed over past years. Currently it amounts to 6,6 km per 100 km2 on average and it has decreased by 0,20 km over the past few years. In terms of length, the most extended railway network is located in Slaskie, Dolnoslaskie and Wielkopolskie Voivodship. Densest railway networks (2014) can be found in Slaskie (16 km per 100 km2), Dolnoslaskie (8,8 km per 100 km2) and Opolskie (8,1 km per 100 km2).

In 2013 only 47 % of railway lines were considered to be in a good shape. Although the infrastructure situation is getting better every year, there are still some major investments to be done. The technical condition of tracks has a direct influence on an average speed of Polish trains. The schedule 2014/2015 presented by PKP PLK SA included 35,7 % of trains with speed 80-120 km/h and 9,5 % of trains with over 160 km/h. % Graph 4 The technical condition of Polish railway infrastructure, 2010-2013 50 40 36% 40% 43% 47% 30 good 20 sufficient unsatisfying 10 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 Source: National Railway Programme 2014-2023 Key figures regarding Polish railway infrastructure (2014) Overall length of railway tracks: 19,2 k km 3rd largest railway network in the EU 4th largest electrified network in the EU Size of the market: 8th market in the EU Average age of locomotives: 34,1 years Average age of railway carriages: 28 years RAILWAY INDUSTRY IN POLAND: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SWISS COMPANIES 7 Decision-making way PKP Polish Railway Lines SA - the main railway infrastructure operator in Poland - is responsible for overseeing the majority of works concerning railways. The company performs mainly investment projects commissioned by Polish authorities but also identifies and addresses current construction/repair needs. In order to realize planned investments, PKP PLK SA orders construction works execution to private companies from the market by organizing public tenders. The public tender form as a way of selecting a contractor is required by the Polish law. This form of purchase is regulated by the Law on Public Tenders from 20041. Additionally, the Law on Concessions on Construction Works and Services 2 has to be considered when orders refer to construction works. Public tenders regarding infrastructure can be conducted in 3 forms: Unlimited tender (one-level tender), Limited tender (two-level tender), Other procedures (applicable only in special circumstances). The form of a public tender does not have to be applied if the value of an order does not exceed 209 000 EUR (250 800 CHF)3 in case of products/services delivery orders or 5 225 000 EUR (6 270 000 CHF) in case of construction works. Regarding criteria of public tenders in the area of railways, mainly contractor who offers the lowest price of a service or supply wins a tender. Such scheme applies especially to construction orders. Other criteria (e.g. quality) tend to be treated as secondary and have limited influence on attractiveness of the contractor’s offer. However, PKP PLK SA has recently started to change its approach and criteria other than the price, have become more important. According to the report of the Supreme, currently the price criterion accounts for ca. 90% and other criteria for 10% of an offer assessment. However, these additional criteria are often added “artificially” (as there cannot be only one criterion). Therefore, there is still a need for awareness change regarding such issues as quality and delivery dates when it comes to public tenders criteria. Domination of the price as the main criterion in public tenders can be perceived as problematic for market suppliers as it narrows areas of potential competition. However, the recent amendment in the Act on Public Tenders (19 th October 2014) have positively changed the situation. According to this amendment, entities which start public tender procedure are (in most cases) obliged to consider at least one more criterion next to the price. The effect of this change is already visible as the share of public tenders which include at least two criteria raised from 7% to 67%. However, experts state that very often these additional criteria have marginal importance or a pro forma character what causes that the price remains the basis for the best offer selection. Regardless of entrepreneurship’s origin, companies from all over the world can submit their bids to tenders organised by PKP PLK. However, the tender procedure for foreign firms is more complicated and time-consuming. Hence, in most cases it is recommended to set up cooperation with well-established local companies. Detailed information about open and finalised tenders can be found on a dedicated Internet platform run by PKP PLK SA https://zamowienia.plk-sa.pl. The data are available in Polish. 1 Act on Public Tenders from 29th January, 2004 (Dz. U. z 2013 r. poz. 907) Act on Construction or Services Licences from 9th January, 2009 (Dz. U. z 2009 r.

TRAM-NETWORK IN POLISH CITIES Unlike in many other European countries, trams still play a significant role for cities’ transport systems in Poland. The first electric tram-system in Poland was constructed in 1893 in Wroclaw. Till the II World War, Polish tram-infrastructure has been developing rapidly. After the War, trams were gradually displaced by buses and private cars. As a result, tram-systems in many Polish cities have been disassembled and the number of cities with a tram-infrastructure was reduced from 30 to only 15 nowadays. However, after the regime change and the EU accession, Poland started to gradually modernise and expand its tramways, also thanks to significant support of EU funds. Polish tramways are currently experiencing a kind of a boom as local authorities are focused on upgrading public transportation systems and on making them more ecological. Poland has one of the largest tram-network in Europe. Even in terms of the passenger-kilometres (pkm) indicator (for both trams and subway), Poland takes significant place among other European countries with 4,1 b pkm in 2013. This number shows how important the tram-network is in Poland, especially due to the fact that there is only one metro system – therefore a relatively high pkm result is mainly due to a high level of trams exploitation. Graph 5 Passenger-kilometres (tram&metro) in 2013 in selected European countries billion pkm 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4.1 4 2 0 DE FR UK CZ RO IT ES AT PL HU SE EL NL BE CH BG Source: “Statistical pocketbook 2015”, European Commission Key figures regarding Polish tram-infrastructure (2014) Number of cities with active tram-infrastructure: 15 4 Overall length of tramway tracks: 1110 km Number of lines: 188 Number of trams: 3500 Share of low-floor cars: 19,5% The current tram-infrastructure in Poland includes over 1 110 km of tramways and about 3 500 trams. However, most of them are old trolleys (produced in years 1975-1998) with a not very resistant construction and quite high power consumption. 4 The latest tram network was introduced in Olsztyn in 2015 RAILWAY INDUSTRY IN POLAND: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SWISS COMPANIES 9 Due to financial reasons, tramways operators have not invested in new trams for many years but only repaired and modernised the old ones. When funds from the EU became available for local governments, they started to gradually replace existing rolling stock. Due to a freedom of choice in terms of acquisition of new trams, currently there are dozens of different types of trams in Polish cities. During the Financial Framework 2007-2013, about 5,3 b PLN (1,4 b CHF) were invested in the traminfrastructure. Thanks to these funds, 40% of all the tram stock was modernised and another 40% replaced. However, still relatively small share of low-floor cars shows that the market has a growth potential and pose an opportunity for trams producers. Moreover, the pace of tram-infrastructure development should even increase in upcoming years due to 13 b PLN (3,4 b CHF) dedicated to transport infrastructure development from the Financial Framework 2014-2020. In order to picture a referential cost of tram railways construction in Poland, following data can be used: Construction costs of 1km of a complex tramway – between 6 m – 17 m PLN (1,6 m – 4,5 m CHF) (2,6 m CHF on average). Construction costs of 1km of a tramline (without supplementary infrastructure) – 5,4 m PLN (1,4 m CHF) (including rails and railroad ties – 0,7 m CHF). Decision-making way The tram-infrastructure in respective cities is governed by companies managed by local authorities. Currently there are 15 such companies. Some of them like e.g. Tramwaje Slaskie have been created by associations of local governments and they manage tram networks in several cities. Due to the involvement of public institutions (local authorities), the majority of investment decisions (including orders regarding tram-infrastructure) have a form of public tenders. Like in the case of railways, public tenders regarding tram-infrastructure are regulated by the Law on Public Tenders from 2004 and the Law on Concessions on Construction Works and Services. A price is generally the main criterion in all public tenders. The analysis of tenders regarding trams purchases in recent years shows that the price accounts for 55% - 85% of an offer evaluation. Second most important criterion is technology (30% 40%). Other marginal factors which can have an influence on an offer assessment are warranty period or costs of the warranty extension. Similar conditions apply also to tenders regarding other solutions or services for tram-infrastructure. The best way of tracking tenders regarding tram-infrastructure is to check official websites of companies which manage the tram-infrastructure in respective Polish cities (data included in the appendix) or to monitor the online version of the Supplement to the Official Journal of the EU, dedicated to European public procurement (http://ted.europa.eu/TED/main/HomePage.do). 2.3. SUBWAY Warsaw is currently the only city in Poland which has its own subway system. It consists of two lines with total length of 29,2 km and 28 stations. It is one of the smallest metro systems in Europe. The Warsaw subway system transports 280-500 k passengers every day (140 m people a year). The second line of the subway was opened in 2015 and is still to be expanded as it includes only 7 stations. Ultimately there will be 27 stations on this line. According to the local government projections, it should be completed till 2022. Warsaw will spend 172 m PLN (45,3 m CHF) in 2016 on the construction of further segments of the second line. At the end of 2015, two foreign construction companies: Astaldi and Gulermak have been selected to build 6 new stations till 2019. A total cost of their services reaches 2,1 b PLN (0,55 b CHF). Maintenance of the subway infrastructure induces a demand for various services and deliveries. Examples of recent orders for the Warsaw subway: revisory repair of traction engines type 4EXA 2130 and STDa 280 – 4B, delivery of different kinds of measurement devices (e.g. electronic devices for the wear measurement of non-hoop wheels, measuring sets for optical fibres), delivery of the speed sensors. RAILWAY INDUSTRY IN POLAND: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SWISS COMPANIES 10 Construction and maintenance costs of subway system are relatively high among all kinds of railway infrastructure. Therefore, only the capital city was able to invest in it. However, some other Polish cities also consider the construction of their own systems in the future. Most advanced plans were created for Wroclaw. However, in a referendum conducted in September 2015, the majority of respondents were against the subway system in this city what suspends any further actions. In the opinion of experts, most reasonable alternatives for such cities as Wroclaw or Krakow are fast urban railways and tram systems. 3. Investors and contractors in the railway industry As almost all railway lines are under control of PKP PLK, this company is the main investor on the market. However, PKP PLK cooperates with many different companies/suppliers in terms of infrastructure construction and services delivery. The table below presents selected players on the railway and traminfrastructure market (investors, contractors and clusters). Main players on the Polish rail stock market including tram production are PESA Bydgoszcz with over a half of the market share and Newag with c.a. 30% of the market. PESA is considered as one of the most influencing rolling stock producer in the world. PESA “Swing” is the second most often encountered tram in Poland. Apart from the inner market, PESA exports its products to many other countries: Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, and Belorussia. Apart from PESA and Newag there are several other Polish producers present on the market (e.g. Solaris, Protram) as well as such international players like Alstom, Bombardier and Siemens.

RAILWAY INDUSTRY IN POLAND: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SWISS COMPANIES 13 e-mail: [email protected] http:// www.wkkrail.eu 4. Opportunities for Swiss companies Polish railway and tram-infrastructure is currently undergoing a major change mainly due to a significant inflow of EU funds. Unlike in previous years in which transport investments were focused on the road network development, the government plans to support railway transport in the first place. An expression of such approach is the recently accepted National Railway Programme 2014-2023 which creates a framework for all future railway investments. After many years of underinvestment, Polish railways have started to modernise rapidly in order to offer better quality and an attractive alternative for other means of transport. Similar trends apply to the traminfrastructure and subway system in Warsaw. 4.1. DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS AND TRENDS Thanks to grants coming from the EU, there will be many potential business opportunities regarding the railway sector in upcoming years. The Polish railway system is undergoing many shifts in order to better the quality of passenger services and to increase the role of rails as a mode of transport in Poland. Due to the fact that Poland has one of the densest railway network in Europe, future investment projects will mainly concern modernisation and upgrading of existing systems. The number of new railway construction projects is going to decrease. Also the tram-infrastructure market has a great growth potential. That is mainly due to significant funds inflow related to the Financial Framework 2014-2020. The Polish government intends to focus even more on transport issues than in the previous years. Local authorities will receive 13 b PLN (3,4b CHF) to invest in tramways development. The sum of 11 b PLN (2,9 b CHF) has already been initially allocated to particular projects. Polish cities are significantly interested in rapid modernisation and expansion of the tramway infrastructure as EU funds create a unique opportunity to finance complex projects (otherwise too expensive for the majority of smaller cities). Apart from a general throughput improvement of the urban transport, tram infrastructure investments raise the value of a city and its attractiveness for potential citizens. One additional argument which makes local governments engaged in tramways development is definitely an ecological aspect. Examples of railway and tram infrastructure investments in 2015: Modernisation of the railway track E30 – implementation of the ERTMS/ETCS and ERTMS/GSM-R on the section Legnica-Wroclaw-Opole. The project included construction of fibre-optic setup and 16 GSM-R towers. Project value: 131 m PLN (34,5 m CHF) Delivery of 20 new trains FLIRT by consortium Stadler-NEWAG for the railway operator PKP Intercity. Project value: 1,6 b PLN (0,42 b CHF) Railway tracks modernisation in the LCS Ciechanow area (among others: construction of 130 km of traction network, modernisation of 61 km of tracks, construction of 6km of modern train platforms). Project value: 1,4 b PLN (0,37 b CHF) Completion of the tram-network construction in Olsztyn. 15 new trams for Olsztyn were delivered by Solaris (trams cost: 120,5 m PLN (31,7 m CHF)) Project value: 497 m PLN (130,8 m CHF) RAILWAY INDUSTRY IN POLAND: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SWISS COMPANIES 14 4.2. PLANNED INVESTMENTS AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Railway infrastructure Plans included in the National Railway Programme 2014-2023 are the main source of business opportunities in upcoming years for companies operating on the railway infrastructure market. According to plans, 67,5 b PLN (17,8 b CHF) will be invested in various projects related to all kinds of railway equipment/services. In 2015 the main railway infrastructure operator PKP PLK announced tenders for construction works in the amount of 16 b PLN (4,2 b CHF) within the Financial Framework 2014-2020. In 2016 the company plans to organise further tenders for at least 5 b PLN (1,3 b CHF)5.

The Programme includes over 150 investment projects concerning construction and modernisation of the railway infrastructure in Poland. Although, the majority of funds will be dedicated to revitalisation and upgrade of current railway tracks, there are also projects related to new lines development, e.g. construction of the “Eastern Main Line” which will connect capital cities of eastern voivodships, digitalisation, e.g. construction of the GSM-R infrastructure system according to NPW ERTMS (expected cost: 2,8 b PLN/0,74 b CHF) and safety improvement, e.g. modernisation of 304 grade crossings (expected cost: 393 m PLN/103,4 m CHF). Some goals to be achieved cover: extended length of tracks with maximum speed over 160 km/h (350 km till 2023), improved coverage of ERTMS/ETCS (2000 km of tracks till 2023), improvement of the cargo transport conditions (growth of the cargo trains average speed from 27 km/h in 2014 to 40 km/h in 2023). Intensive works will be also conducted in order to improve the train stations network in Poland. In 2016 PKP SA plans to revitalise several dozen stations, i.a. Gdansk, Poznan, Sosnowiec, demolish 50 old facilities and construct 5 new so called “system stations”. These innovative facilities will exploit various ecological and energy-efficient technologies, e.g. solar panels, heat pumps, and rainwater recovery system. PKP will gradually invest in such modern stations in upcoming years. Ecology is an important trend when it comes to projects included in National Railway Programme. This creates an opportunity for companies which deliver ecology-friendly technologies for rolling stock, tracks and other elements of railway infrastructure. Moreover, a similar trend is visible also when it comes to tram-infrastructure development. Some examples of recent public tenders regarding railways have been presented below: Warsaw: The renovation of the traction network (2016/01/29) Object of the contract: Complex construction works within the project of the E30 railway line modernisation Criteria for contractor selection: 100% - price Tender details: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:30796-2016:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0&tabId=0 Warsaw: Engineering works on the railway line E59 (2015/09/02) Object of the contract: Engineering works on railway line E59 including installation of telecommunication facilities Criteria for contractor selection: 100% - price Tender details: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:310420-2015:TEXT:EN:HTML&tabId=0 Warsaw: Electrical installations for railways (21015/11/13) Object of the contract: Installation of heat devices for railway turnouts and lights for railroad crossings Criteria for contractor selection: 70% - price, 30% - delivery time Tender details: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:400417-2015:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0&tabId=1 Poznan: Parts of rolling stock (2015/12/18) Object of the contract: Delivery of the gearboxes for the rail buses SA132, SA134 Criteria for contractor selection: 95% - price, 5% - delivery time Tender details: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:446034-2015:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0&tabId=0 RAILWAY INDUSTRY IN POLAND: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SWISS COMPANIES 16 Tram infrastructure In terms of tram-infrastructure, most investment projects in particular cities derive from support within the Financial Framework 2014-2020. Biggest budgets will be allocated in such cities as Warsaw and Cracow. The longest tramways are to be constructed in the Silesia area. In terms of purchased trams, Warsaw will be the leader with almost 180 new vehicles. Details regarding planned tram investments are presented on the map below.

However, few technological areas can be already indicated as the most interesting for tram-infrastructure producers as well as for local authorities. Similar to the trend on the railway market, environmentalfriendly technologies like energy recuperation systems in trams or tram-rails technologies dedicated to noise reduction (i.e. ballast-free tracks, rails elastic attachment systems) are gaining importance for tram-infrastructure owners/operators. Also safety systems like remote on-line diagnostic and monitoring of tramcars should be in demand. These technologies will probably be also included in future public tenders for the tram market. Examples of recent public tenders in the area of tram-infrastructure: Chorzow: Railways traffic-control equipment (2015/07/15) Object of the contract: The delivery and the installation of elements of the communication system between rolling stock and the switch control units. Installation of the remote switch control equipment on tramcars.
