We are planning a railway line within the OSB

President Kupeli stated that they started the preliminary studies on the establishment of a railway line in Eskişehir OIZ and said, “Our OIZ has grown a lot as an area and still continues to grow. Our industrial establishments are constantly producing goods for both our country and countries all over the world for export purposes, and the transportation and logistics of these products only by road increases the costs. For this purpose, railways have a great advantage in reducing our logistics costs. In order for our industrial establishments to benefit more from this opportunity, we have started to make preliminary studies for the establishment of a railway line in the OIZ, which will help the use of large-scale companies in our Region. According to the feasibility results, we are planning to take new steps in this regard. Hopefully, when we get positive results, we intend to take a step in this regard.”
