Etihad Rail has revealed details of the new strategy and brand identity, following the recent financing approval for stage two of the UAE’s national rail network. The new strategy and logo reflect the company’s future vision to contribute to achieving the objectives of the UAE’s 2021 Vision and the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030.
The announcement was made after the completion of the network design from Ghuweifat to Fujairah. Major international companies have been pre-qualified and construction tenders have been released within schedule.
Etihad Rail has recently signed a series of land lease agreements throughout the UAE to secure the rail network’s transport corridors in all the emirates. The company has announced a set of short and long-term strategic objectives in order to achieve sustainable development and economic growth.
The new strategy includes a set of key pillars that focus on benefiting from a fully developed railway network, providing innovative solutions to support the national wealth and economic diversification in the long term, by linking all major UAE ports.
The railway network is an important part of the future transport strategy of the UAE, as it provides efficient logistics solutions and serves urban and suburban areas. It also enables efficiency in transferring large amounts of construction materials from quarries for the local markets, which gives it an added value for its economic and environmental benefits to the United Arab Emirates.
Etihad Rail has made significant strides with regards to the agreement between the UAE Ministry of Finance and the Abu Dhabi Department of Finance for supporting economically the 605 km of stage two of the UAE’s national railway network. Contracts on project management engineering works have been awarded for a five-year contract covering the development and the supervision of this next phase from Ghuweifat on the Saudi border in the west to the UAE’s Port of Fujairah on the east coast.
