History
[edit]Czech Republic
[edit]The first contract for the delivery of 31 Link units to the Czech Republic was signed on March 17, 2011.[3] The first unit arrived in the country on May 10, 2012 to undergo month-long testing.[4] The first two units entered service with České dráhy on September 21, 2012.[5] The last Link was delivered on January 16, 2014.[6] 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.[7]
