Polyrit received an additional order to continue providing seating systems for another 81 electric trains operated by Israel Railways.
in 2018 The company was chosen by Siemens Mobility, the manufacturer of the Desiro HC electric multiple unit (EMU) trains, to supply full sets of seats.
Polyrit has already provided thousands of seats to the first 60 Siemens EMU trains operating in Israel. The company will start providing the seating sets for the new order by the end of 2024 up to end of 2027.
The seats, known as the Match model, which is a Kiel Sitze GMBH’s design, are manufactured under license at Polyrit and are fully compliant with the strictest European regulations. There are more than 30 different seat configurations available for the four and six coaches train set types. This customization ensures that passengers enjoy comfort and functionality.
One standout feature of these seats is their cantilever base mounting, which eliminates the need for legs touching the floor. This design not only enhances the aesthetics of the seating, but also simplifies the cleaning process, a crucial aspect for maintaining public transportation.
Polyrit has already been providing Israel railways with seating systems, produced in the company’s factory in Zikim. The seats were supplied to Bombardier (part of Alstom group), which manufactures Israel railways double decker coaches since 2000. These trains carry thousands of Patry model seats, assembled by Polyrit.
Polyrit’s involvement in this project marks a significant milestone in the company’s history, showcasing its commitment to innovation and excellence in manufacturing. As Israel Railways’ electrification efforts continue, Polyrit remains dedicated to providing high-quality seating solutions that contribute to a comfortable and sustainable future for rail travel.
