History
Only one unit was built at the Pafawag factory in 1997 and as a prototype at that. Until 2005, ED73-001 was operated by Wielkopolski Zakład Przewozów Regionalnych (Greater Poland Regional Transport). Due to it not being technically sound, the unit was moved to a siding. In mid-2006 ED73-001 was sent to Dolnośląski Zakład Przewozów Regionalnych (Lower Silesian Regional Transport) in Wrocław where it underwent general repairs.
ED73-001 was repainted into its original burgundy and yellow livery, and in January 2008 was actively used on Lower Silesian routes. From February 2010 this EMU is used on Łódź - Warsaw route.
