Railway connection problem will be eliminated
Speaking at the protocol signing ceremony, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Dönmez stated that the railway connection problem between Eskişehir OIZ and Hasanbey Logistics Center will be eliminated with the cooperation, and said, “There is a lack of railway connection lines between Hasanbey Logistics Center and Eskişehir OIZ. With the protocol signed today, mutual cooperation will be made. Our Eskişehir Organized Industrial Zone Directorate will contribute to the construction of this line. Our TCDD Regional Directorate will have completed the deficiencies. In a very short time, our industrialists will have delivered their finished products or raw materials to our ports by loading or unloading them from their factory. In this way, products will be delivered to export markets much faster. I hope this agreement will be beneficial for our industrialists, our city and our country.”

I would like to thank our Minister, Governor and TCDD officials for their great support in this matter. With the opening of this line, Eskişehir industry will gain a great advantage in terms of exports, and our exports will increase much faster.”
Regarding the protocol, TCDD Transport General Manager Ufuk Yalçın emphasized that the transportation costs of our industrialists decreased and their competitiveness increased with the railway connection of the production centers, as in the example of Eskişehir Organized Industrial Zone, and that the vehicle fleet became younger with the development of the national and domestic railway industry and that more quality and efficient service was provided. . Yalçın said, “TCDD Tasimacilik supports national and domestic railway vehicle productions carried out by TÜRASAŞ. Procurement of towed and towed vehicles continues in order to strengthen the vehicle fleet.
