The project is part of the long-term strategy of ZSSK, to renew and modernise the vehicle fleet in order to improve the service of the ŽOD, to increase its attractiveness for passengers and to help the construction of ITS in Slovakia. By replacing part of the existing outdated ŽKV with new EJ in the Žilina region, it responds to the unsatisfactory state of the vehicle fleet for passenger transport. The aim is to contribute to the creation of conditions for the integration and harmonisation of the system of passenger transport in the region and the increased quality of transport services lead to the acquisition of new passengers and thus to the strengthening of the competitiveness of the ŽOD in Slovakia.The basic objective of the project in question is to contribute to the improvement of the services of ŽOD and to improve the transport service of the Žilina region by replacing part of the existing obsolete rolling stock with new electric units and thus to help the successful construction of ITS in the region. The implementation of the main activity of the project will deliver two versions of EJ, namely 13 EJ with a capacity of at least 220 seats and 12 EJ with a capacity of at least 300 seats, which will be used on electrified lines of the Žilina region. The new EJ will offer modern and environmentally friendly transport on regional lines.The feasibility of achieving the objectives of the project is expressed by indicators: 25 EJ and 9 451 271 passengers carried in 2027.Procured EJs will enable the travelling public to provide a wider range of better services, greater comfort and a culture of travel, as well as greater safety and reliability of transport. This will increase the attractiveness of the AP, which should translate into an increase in the number of rail passengers and thus an improvement in its performance, efficiency and competitive position on the transport market in Slovakia.
