Let us not understand from here that we will do this train everything from A to Z. This would be a very mindless job, or an economy. The important thing is to be the integrator of the business, to be the gripper of the business, brother, I am doing such a job. I have the following wheel, I do the braking system, I make the air conditioning system. We will do what we can do from our own sector first, but we will be competitive here too. There, our companies will improve themselves and move on to a globally competitive field. ” used expressions.

"Taking into account Turkey's needs for the next 10 years the railroad lines made fast train set amount is 100. What it means is a budget of $ 3 billion. While this will give out the 3 billion budget, we will ensure that at least 60 percent and 70 percent of it will remain inside with this project. In the shortest term, in the 5-year term, it means that a saving of 2-2,5 billion dollars will be added, and after this, the added value of this will be higher in the economies of the region. We have not yet made calculations of this. ”
"Did you call the private sector in the project?" In response to the question, Yıldırım said, “It is done with them, not a call to the private sector. There were universities, the private sector, and other stakeholders at the meeting today. There was Aselsan, TUBITAK, State Railways. Railways cannot do this on their own anyway. But Turkey has developed a lot in the last 10 years the capacity and capability in this regard. New vehicles and new train sets are needed, as the railway is constantly being built. Ecosystem has been created so we can make a national train. In the next 5 years, we will put our high speed train on the national train, which is our product of our own mind. ” used expressions.
