what is it?
EN81 (manufacturer's designation: Pesa 308B) is an electric motor coach produced by the Pesa plant in Bydgoszcz in 2005 and 2007. A total of 8 units were built, currently operated by Polregio in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, and previously also in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. The EN81 is intended for use on electrified regional routes to service routes with a small number of passengers, where operating multi-car electric multiple units would be uneconomical.
