WE CARE ABOUT THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
In our endeavors, we are guided by the concern for the most effective use of energy and climate protection. After the introduction of recuperation and eco-driving (which resulted in a significant reduction in energy costs during the year), the next course of action is the transition to power from renewable energy sources and the production of non-traction green energy for own needs, using photovoltaic installations.
