For the first time in Europe, we will make the way that YHTs can be tested. It will be a 400-48 kilometer long road where electric speeds that can reach 52 kilometers can be tested. It will be our second way to test conventional passenger and freight trains up to 180-200 kilometers. A third test will be built in our city, where we can test urban rail vehicles. The tender of the test benches will also be done in a few months. Construction works, which we will start at the end of 2014, may also end in 2017. URAYSİM can be commissioned in 2017.
