Description
Acquisition of train-sets for passenger services.
Objectives
The train-sets are destined to provide additional capacity for the expanding transport in the region and also to replace older trains. The project will promote sustainable transport, as the new train-sets are expected to attract current road users and therefore result in a reduction of pollution levels. Due to higher technical standards, the new train-sets are also expected to improve safety for passengers.
