Lithuania to get new electric trains under NIB-EIB-LTG Link deal
The Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and LTG Link have signed a financing agreement for the purchase of electric and battery-powered trains.NIB and the EIB will provide loans of EUR 100 million each to finance nine electric and six battery trains, which will replace about one-third of the passenger train fleet. The new trains will not only be more comfortable than diesel trains, but will also reduce journey times. Low-floor cars will make boarding easier for older people, pregnant women, parents with small children and all passengers with reduced mobility.
