OREANDA-NEWS. The Head of the Kyiv City State Administration Oleksandr Popov discussed the possibility of a joint Austrian-Ukrainian venture for the production of buses running on the electric motors on the KE "Kyivpastrans" during a visit at the factory of the company "Siemens" in the frames of the Days of Kiev in Vienna. 

 "For us it is important to establish such production in Kyiv, because it will create new jobs for residents of the city and contribute to the development of other companies of the capital that will be involved in this process. And the use of new environmentally friendly technologies will bring the transportation services in Kiev to a new level", - said Mr. Popov.

 In its turn the representatives of the company "Siemens" considered the Ukrainian capital a promising region to create a line of electric buses, because, as in Vienna, Kiev is the face of the historical center, where it would be appropriate to use more clean and mobile form of public transport. Besides, the introduction of this form of transport makes it possible to save the energy and improve the ecological situation in the city. Also, these buses are more agile and mobile in contrast to the trolleys.
