"Negotiations / talks with our Russian partners about activation re-production of the 12ZV40 / 48 engine, our "bestseller" for the Russians nuclear power plants, started 3-4 years ago. And so the idea came to yes we start producing a similar engine, without a license relationship, like ours new own product - and finally the ADRIA 40, 12-cylinder 4- stroke diesel engine, V-version, power 6600 kW, 600 rpm.  And then in July last year, the first commercial contract was signed with Promenergokomplekt from Russia for delivery of 3 diesel generator sets ADRIA 40 for the Rostov 3 nuclear power plant. Delivery times were 12, 13 and 14 months, from the signing of the contract, we knew it was a little too ambitious, but we embarked on a project."
