TEP 70M
As part of the passenger rolling stock renewal programme a
passenger locomotive TEP70M was upgraded at JSC Vilnius
Locomotive Repair Depot according to the project of a Hungarian company MAV Woodward. The passenger locomotive
is used for the traction of passenger wagon sets on the route
Vilnius–Klaipėda–Vilnius, as well as for transit trains on the
route Vilnius–Kybartai in Kaliningrad direction.
Following the modernisation the maximum speed and the
traction performance of the locomotive remained unchanged, however, the fuel consumption decreased by 30%, the
expenses of for-cause and scheduled repairs decreased,
respectively, by 20% and 5%.
The modernised locomotive now complies with all the requirements prescribed for the rolling stock of the type, as well
as the mandatory interoperability specifications. The operating time of the locomotive was thus extended for another
11 years.

For the purpose of the formation on the rails in the Vilnius

Company acquired a shunting locomotive series TEM LTH.
