The initial batch of 12 contemporary diesel powered trains is intended for operation on both regional and long-distance lines of Ghana Railways.
It is anticipated to be delivered from Poland by the middle of the upcoming month.

The framework contract with the Ghanaian Railways covers 12 diesel multiple units, with 10 vehicles being an option for the ordering party.
The vehicle is technically similar to the RegioFox vehicles that Bydgoszcz produces for Czech Railways .
