MINSK, 30 January (BelTA) - Yaroslavl Oblast is ready to offer Belarusian machine-building enterprises a new gas engine line-up, Yaroslavl Oblast Governor Sergei Yastrebov said as he met with Belarus’ President Alexander Lukashenko on 30 January, BelTA has learnt.
The Governor said that Yaroslavl Oblast cooperates with Belarus in a number of programs and areas. The major area, however, is diesel engines construction. «For us the notion of integration turned into real cooperation long ago. We would like to continue such cooperation and develop it on the basis of new financial and economic relations by offering your country our new competitive product line,» Sergei Yastrebov said.
Apart from that, the delivery of gas-power engines is one of the most promising areas of cooperation. «This year we are ready to come up with a set of gas-power engines produced by Yaroslavl Motor Plant which are designed to substitute traditional diesel-driven engines. Thus it is possible to cut fuel costs by 50%,» Sergei Yastrebov noted. «The major thing for us is to acknowledge that this is our joint brainchild born on Belarusian soil with the Yaroslavl heart,» Sergei Yastrebov added when speaking about cooperation with Minsk Automobile Plant.
The Governor went on saying that Yaroslavl Oblast is ready to step up cooperation in such areas as petrochemistry, petroleum processing and agriculture.
