České dráhy
Electric multiple unit 660 InterPanter of the České dráhy

The České dráhy ordered 3 different variants of trainsets. The first order consisted of 12 units of class 440 (3-car, 241 seats), 3 units of class 640 (3-car, 241 seats) and 4 units of class 650 (2-car, 147 seats). Then came several more orders. Škoda Transportation currently producing another 31 units of improved class 650 marked 650.2.[3][4] In the Czech Republic, the train sets of the Czech Railways carrier are known as RegioPanter.

In 2015-16 were built 14 units called InterPanter for fast train lines, which are use on routes Brno-Prague and Brno-Břeclav-Olomouc.[5] InterPanter units have fewer doors, more luggage and bicycle space and a vending machine with snacks.

All 440 class units will be in 2021-2022 upgraded to multi-system class 640 due to gradual switching to AC traction system.[6] This upgrade will be made by Škoda Transportation.

National Express

In 2015 National Express Germany won a 12-year contract to operate Nuremberg S-Bahn services from December 2018. Its bid included 38 5-car 7Ev trainsets owned by a leasing company.[7] The total value of the contract will exceed € 380 mil.[8] However in 2016 National Express pulled out of the bid and order was cancelled.[9][10]

Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko

In 2018 Škoda Transportation in consortium with ŽOS Trnava won contract with Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko to supply 8 3-car units and 2 4-car dual-voltage units. The contract included the option for additional 5 3-car units and 10 4-car units.[11][12]

Pasažieru vilciens

Škoda Transportation won tender of the Latvian railways to supply 32 electric multiple unit for suburban lines by Riga.[13][14] Units with 400 seats, the 1 520 mm gauge, dual system equipment (3 kV DC and 25 kV AC) and top speed up to 160 km/h will be delivered in 2022-23.

Jihomoravský kraj

In 2019 South Moravian Region in Czech Republic selected Škoda Transportation as the supplier of 37 electrical units for suburban transport of Brno.[15] There will be 31 4-car units with 333 seats and 6 2-cars units with 146 seats. The units will be owned by the region and leased to carriers. The trainsets will be named Moravia after the very first locomotive, which arrived in Brno in 1838.[16][17]

gollark: It works for me, since I can just shut down everything and rewire it periodically. Also, fewer cables.
gollark: I just let the messes and randomly tangled cables build up.
