This deal will enable Leo Express, a company in which Renfe Proyectos Internacionales is a shareholder, to solidify its position as a key operator in the open access and PSO tendered passenger market in Central Europe. Part of the fleet will be allocated to Leo Express’s recently awarded contract to operate the Ex36 public service route, which will connect Prague with Munich starting in December 2026. The railcars, acquired by Renfe Alquiler from DB in January, include first and second class vehicles with maximum capacity.
