It is noted that on June 24-26, based on the customer’s application, Uzbekistan GTL LLC delivered a total of 3.4 thousand tons (67 wagons) of goods to the customer for export from the “Kengsoy” station in Guzor district, Kashkadarya region.

According to information, the synthetic component for diesel fuel of the Uzbekistan GTL LLC plant is produced according to the European standard EN 15940 among the countries of Central Asia only in Uzbekistan based on the state standard “UzDSt 3134-2017”.
