Mandoria, the new indoor park that opened a Gerstlauer Bob coaster last year named Merkant, is about to construct a Mack powered coaster:-

The “Bob” coaster is a Gerstlauer, not a Mack. It’s named like that because of the single-file trains.
Merkant - Mandoria (Rzgów, Łódzkie, Poland)

Awww man, facepalming so hard right now
... I did not catch Gerstlauer in the original message, and when i thought Bob I thought "Bobsled coaster" like the ones Mack make... I'll gotta take this mistake, thanks for pointing it out! 
Anyways with that mistake of mine for good out of the way... this powered coaster model looks very alike to the Gerstlauer Bob I will say! Interesting AND comprehensible choice this park took to add a alike ride to please the families... now, does anyone know what this park is themed to, and got a guess of what this new rollercoaster could be themed to???

The way Energylandia open coasters, I wouldn't count the chickens before they've hatched (count the creds before they've opened?)

The trains are on site and have been put onto the track, pics are from the parks TikTok, also it looks like they are aiming for a summer 2022 opening:

The new zone will be called 𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐃𝐘 info below:
"The Search for Explorers is paying off. Earlier finds led to another clue and… it all made sense!
𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐃𝐘 is a rich, highly developed district of Mandoria. Its center is the roller-coaster Carrara - the former Carrara marble transport system.
The explorers have not gotten to all the information yet, but they do have the Mandorian backing. The residents unanimously declared: 𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐃𝐘 they will be made available to guests!

Sorted that.
If you want just a hint, think about subway systems/the tube
Here's the generic technology:

This Test Track video has some good graphics at 09:55 explaining the concept too:
Third rail - Wikipedia
This Test Track video has some good graphics at 09:55 explaining the concept too:
It’s simply that an electrical current is used to power the trains; if you look at the track on this coaster, there’s a grey rail running on top of the normal coaster track (circled in yellow here). An electrical current is run through this rail to power the coaster wheels and also to brake them. There’s an assembly underneath the coaster cars that maintains a consistent connection to this gray rail, not too dissimilar from the way a subway works (subways have a third rail that is electrified; if you remember the show Mythbusters they tested the myth that you could be electrocuted from peeing on the third rail of a subway

Should mention that each car of the train has a drive tyre built into them that powers the coaster, not the wheels that hold the train to the track.It’s simply that an electrical current is used to power the trains; if you look at the track on this coaster, there’s a grey rail running on top of the normal coaster track (circled in yellow here).
