The municipal road maintenance company “Exdrupo” plans to purchase 29 units of transport this year. The purchase will be made with a loan of about 40 million lei. A decision to this effect was approved by the municipal councilors, IPN reports.

The company will buy by bulldozer-excavators, frontal loaders, auto-platforms with double cabs and special vehicles intended for mechanized cleanup, tractors and multifunctional trucks and other types of vehicles.

Under the draft decision, the loan will be repayable in four years.

“Exdrupo” performs works to repair and maintain road infrastructure in the municipality of Chisinau. The company noted most of its vehicles are in an unsatisfactory state as they are old and their repair implies large costs.

Last year the company bought special vehicles and equipment to the value of 13 million lei, but these do not cover the needs.
