Latvia’s state-owned passenger train operator, Pasazieru Vilciens (Vivi), will impose a contractual penalty of EUR 5.7mn on the Czech rolling stock manufacturer, Skoda Vagonka, LETA reports. Vivi board chairman Raitis Nespors explained that the penalties were due to delays in the delivery of new electric trains, failure to rectify identified defects on time, and other breaches of contractual obligations. Skoda Vagonka delivered the last of 32 new electric trains under the EUR 255mn contract with Vivi in November 2024, LETA reported.
