Hyundai Rotem proposed 21.96 million zlotys (about 8.3 billion won) for the single-direction option, 20.42 million zlotys (about 7.8 billion won) for the single-direction option, and 21.03 million zlotys (about 8 billion won) for the bi-directional option.
Škoda Transportation proposed 21.15 million zlotys (about 8.1 billion won) for the single-direction option and 22.28 million zlotys (about 8.5 billion won) for the bi-directional option.
The final winner will be decided after evaluating the proposals and prices. A Hyundai Rotem official noted, "We are at the proposal stage, and the final amount has not been confirmed."
Earlier, in 2019, Hyundai Rotem secured a contract for the tram project worth 335.8 billion won in Warsaw, delivering all contracted units last year.
