Škoda 7Ev “RegioPanter” and “InterPanter”
Czech Railways classes 440, 530, 550, 640, 650 and 660, Slovak Railway class 660, and Latvian State Railway classes 660 and 661
Under the marketing name “RegioPanter”, Škoda offers electric multiple units that were originally developed only for regional transport and are officially called 7Ev. The sets that have already been built consist of two to four cars, each of which has both axles of one bogie powered. Five- and six-car sets are also available. The “InterPanter” was later introduced for intercity traffic.
The first vehicles were taken over in 2011 by ČD, which is still the largest customer today. For greater export opportunities, they can be ordered for all four common DC and AC systems in Europe. Trains have already been exported to Slovakia and Latvia and more are to be delivered to Estonia and Uzbekistan from 2024. An order from Germany for the Nuremberg S-Bahn was canceled after legal disputes with the loser of the tender.
