in 2010 alstom won a pkp intercity tender for high-speed trains with an offer of 20 new pendolino trains. similarly to the crh5, these are non-tilting. like the čd class 680, the pendolinos are equipped to operate on 15 kv 16·7 hz and 25 kv 50 hz as well as 3 kv dc for operation in poland, and have the train control systems needed to operate in germany, austria and the czech republic. however, certification for international operation is not seen as a priority, as the trains are restricted to domestic services for an initial 10 years under the terms of a grant from the eu cohesion fund which covered 22% of the project cost.
