History

Czech Republic

The first contract for the delivery of 31 Link units to the Czech Republic was signed on March 17, 2011.[2] The first unit arrived in the country on May 10, 2012 to undergo month-long testing.[3] The first two units entered service with České dráhy on September 21, 2012.[4] The last Link was delivered on January 16, 2014.[5] Unit 844 006 was destroyed in a collision at Milavče on August 4, 2021. Because of the extent of the damage, the DMU did not return to service and became a source of spare parts for the rest of the fleet.[6]

Poland

Koleje Dolnośląskie's Link units were built in 2014 and 2015.[7]

In April 2017, the first Link unit for Polregio was delivered.[8]

The four Koleje Wielkopolskie Link units were ordered in 2018.[9]

Germany

The first Pesa Link in Germany entered service with Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn in 2016.[10]

Link units operated by Deutsche Bahn are classified as 632 and 633.[11]
