Bajorinas, CEO of VLRD, says the company
is already carrying out several projects in the Ukrainian market for its local
partners.
"We are developing advanced technologies that will create a
breakthrough in rolling stock manufacturing. One of them is a LNG-powered
locomotive," he said.

the locomotive will consume up to 40% less fuel and will emit 25% less
carbon dioxide.
The company has presented its services to representatives of the Ukrainian
Infrastructure Ministry and Ukrainian, Georgian and Bulgarian seaports, and
logistics companies.
