Ecology in ŁKA
The depot is powered by its own photovoltaic installations. In 2024, the panels produced 279.4 MWh of energy, fully covering the depot's non-traction energy needs.
In 2028, ŁKA electric trains will operate exclusively on energy from renewable energy sources (RES).
Accessibility
ŁKA operates modern trains fully accessible to passengers with disabilities. This commitment to accessibility is complemented by various other features, particularly focused on information and communication accessibility. ŁKA is a Zero Project 2022 award winner and is recognized among the world’s best accessibility initiatives.
Projects
The ŁKA project has been co-financed by the European Union, with a subsidy of over 126 million euros. EU funds were allocated for the purchase of modern rolling stock and the construction of technical facilities for train servicing.
