LTG Link, the passenger transportation arm of Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai (Lithuanian Railways, LTG), is planning to sign in the third quarter of 2022 a contract worth over 200 million euros to purchase new electric trains.
The state-owned railway group said train manufacturers had submitted their first offers in the public procurement procedure, but it did not disclose the number of bids received.
A Vilnius court last spring temporarily suspended the bidding process after a company of the Czech group Skoda, a potential bidder, filed a lawsuit challenging its terms. It is planed that the single-platform electric trains will be able to reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour. (BNN/Business World Magazine)
