Karabük Demir Çelik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (KARDEMİR), one of the leading companies in the iron and steel sector in Turkey, has recently signed a new rail sales contract for the Ankara-İzmir High Speed Train (YHT) Project, one of Turkey's important transportation projects. This important step indicates that KARDEMİR has increased its effectiveness not only in Turkey but also in the global market. The company announced that it will supply a total of 15.000 tons of rails, making a major contribution to the country's transportation infrastructure.
Safe Transportation with High Quality Rails
The rails to be produced by KARDEMİR for the Ankara-İzmir YHT Project will be in the 60E2 and R260 quality class. These rails are specially designed for high-speed trains to travel safely and quickly, and they stand out with their durable and long-lasting structures. The use of high-quality rails will meet the technical requirements of the railway network within the scope of the project and will contribute to the efficient operation of the railway in the long term.
These rails produced by KARDEMİR have a design that increases the safety and speed of trains, especially those operating at high speeds. The rails used in such projects are of critical importance not only in terms of safety, but also in terms of their longevity and reduced maintenance requirements. Thus, a significant contribution will be made to the modernization of the railway network throughout the country.
Deliveries Will Be Made in Three Batches
According to the contract signed with KARDEMİR, 15.000 tons of rail will be delivered in three different batches. These deliveries will be planned according to the progress of the project and will be timed in accordance with the requirements of the construction process. Each delivery will be made at certain intervals and this process will ensure that the project progresses without any disruptions. Making deliveries in three stages also ensures that the production process is regular and sustainable, providing an advantageous solution for all parties contributing to the project.
KARDEMİR's Contribution to Turkey's Transportation Infrastructure
KARDEMİR’s contribution to the Ankara-İzmir High Speed Train Project is seen as a major step towards the modernization of Turkey’s transportation infrastructure. High speed train projects are of great importance not only for passenger transportation but also for economic growth. These projects both increase transportation speed, save time and support environmental sustainability.
KARDEMİR’s participation in the project means encouraging domestic production and reinforcing the power of Turkish industry. The company creates economic added value by producing with domestic resources, while also contributing to the national industry. Providing domestic contributions to such projects is an important step that reduces Turkey’s external dependency and strengthens the domestic industry.
Global Market Efficiency Increases
In addition to the Turkish domestic market, KARDEMİR also increases its effectiveness in the global market by exporting rails to different regions such as Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The high-quality rails produced by the company contribute to projects that prioritize the safety and durability of railway infrastructures around the world. Thus, it strengthens its position not only in Turkey but also in the global iron and steel sector.
KARDEMİR aims to increase the competitive power of Turkish industry worldwide by continuing its goal of providing domestic contribution in future projects. This strategy of the company is considered as an important step that increases Turkey's domestic production capacity and enables it to have a greater say in the global market.
KARDEMİR's supply of 15.000 tons of rails for the Ankara-İzmir High Speed Train Project is not only an important contribution to Turkey's transportation infrastructure, but also a step that reinforces the power of domestic production and Turkish industry in the global market. This agreement will reinforce KARDEMİR's leadership in the sector and continue to contribute to projects that prioritize safety and durability in the iron and steel sector.
