Eurasia Rail, the only railway exhibition in Eurasia region and one of the three biggest railway exhibitions in the world…
ITE Turkey Transport & Logistics Group Director Semi Benbanaste: “Thanks to their fast, economical, environment-friendly, safe and modern nature, rail systems become more and more important throughout the world. While the investments of especially European countries continue in order to increase modernization and transport capacity of railways, our country also set great targets and investment plans in this direction. Within this scope, Turkey has set the goal to reach 25,000 km of total railway length. High-speed train investments have great importance in achieving this goal and we are aiming to connect 42 cities, where 77 percent of the country’s population lives, with high-speed railways until 2023. We are planning to build 3,500 km of hyper-speed railways, 8,500 km high-speed railways. In addition to that, we are planning to reach a total of 25,000 km railway length in 2023 by building 13,000 km of new railways and 1,000 km conventional railways. On the other hand, there are also targets of renewing 4,400 km of railway, completing the renewal of all lines, increasing the railway conveyance rate to 10% for passengers and 15% for freight. We aim to support the sector in reaching these valuable targets with Eurasia Rail, in which we have brought together the leading sector representatives of the world since 2011.”
Pointing out that Eurasia Rail is the only railway exhibition in Eurasia region and one of the three biggest railway exhibitions in the world, Benbanaste gave information about the exhibition to be held in April. Benbanaste said: “Eurasia Rail, which helps professional visitors to meet the top producers of the sector and gives them the chance to closely follow innovations, is preparing to become a very productive platform for railway sector as it does every year. There will be important participants from countries such as Germany, France, Czech Republic, China, Italy and Russia. In fact, France Office of the Commercial Counsellor has announced that it will support only Eurasia Rail in Turkey in 2019, which is a very important decision. In addition to these important developments, leading companies such as Siemens, Alstom, Yapıray, Ministry of Transport, Turkish Railways (TCDD) and its subsidiaries, Bozankaya, Bombardier, Knorr Bremse, Metro Istanbul, Metro Izmir, Caf, Kardemir and Aselsan have approved their participation.
