Lviv-based public joint-stock company Electron, which produces narrow-gauge trams and other products, has designed a project for a high-speed train for the Lviv-Warsaw route, Head of Lviv Regional Administration Viktor Shemchuk said at a meeting with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Poland to Ukraine Henryk Litwin on Monday.
According to a report of the press service of Lviv Regional Administration, at the meeting Shemchuk presented an idea for a high-speed train on the Lviv-Warsaw route, which could be an alternative to flying, as it will be several times cheaper.
“Lviv’s Electron has designed a project for a high-speed train for the said route, and in two or three years four modern trains could be launched in this direction,” the press service said, citing Shemchuk.
As reported, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has ordered by December 2013 the holding of talks with representatives of Poland and the European Union on the need to introduce the Lviv-Przemysl-Warsaw high-speed train route and determine the sources of financing of the project.
Electron Concern is a multi-sector company, which incorporates research and industrial subsidiaries and enterprises created with the participation of the concern.
