Škoda 7Ev

The České dráhy ordered 3 different variants of trainsets in 2011. The first order consisted of 12 units of class 440 (3-car, 241 seats), 3 units of class 640 (3-car, 241 seats) and 4 units of class 650 (2-car, 147 seats). First five units entered service in September 2012. Then came several more orders. Škoda Transportation currently producing another 50 units of improved class 650 marked 650.2 and also 60 units of class 640.2.[4][5] In the Czech Republic, the train sets of the Czech Railways carrier are known as RegioPanter.

All 440 class units will be in 2021-2022 upgraded to multi-system class 640.1 due to gradual switching to AC traction system.[6] This upgrade will be made by Škoda Transportation.

In 2020, one 650 class unit was tested on the Tábor-Bechyně railway. The reason was to verify compatibility with small arc radii due to possible future deployment on this railway.[7]
