Modernising cargo locomotives will save EUR 11 million
LG CARGO in Lithuania has begun a technical maintenance programme to renew the rolling stock that carries most of the cargo. This project will involve a major overhaul of 44 "Siemens" locomotives and save EUR 11 million. Unlike previously applied practices, this time the repairs of the most modern rolling stock of the company will be performed at home – in the Vilnius locomotive repairs depot.
According to the director general of LG CARGO, Egidijus Lazauskas, the programme of overhauling the locomotives, purchased a decade ago, will be implemented in stages. This will ensure reliable and fast cargo transportation without interruptions for clients and partners. The project is planned to be completed in 2021. (ben)
