top-managers of foreign companies-manufacturers of urban electric transport,
visitors-specialists and specialized press, and above all – potential
customers. Furthermore, the interest was shown not only on the part of a big
market, namely, of Germany and the countries of East Europe, but on the part of
grate transport companies of the countries of other continents – Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and other countries of Latin

level and stylish design, high competitive price (it is a weighty criterion for
practical and pragmatic business circles in choice of goods) are not inferior
to other more distinguished competitors.

In the course of the exhibition work a delegation from «Electron» at the head
of the president of the Corporation Yuriy Bubes carried on a number of
important negotiations in organization of collaboration and entente cordiale
