The National Rail Systems Research and Test Center (URAYSİM) Project, which is an important step in line with Turkey's domestic and national production targets, is supported by the Anatolian Lions Businessmen Association (ASKON) Eskişehir Branch. In the statement made by the ASKON Eskişehir Branch Presidency, it was emphasized that the URAYSİM Project was a major breakthrough for the country to become a globally respected center in the field of rail systems.
URAYSİM Project is considered as an important part of Turkey's domestic and national production vision. This visionary project aims for Turkey to assume a leading role in the international arena in the rail systems industry. At the same time, it aims to meet the increasing needs of our cities using the Republic of Turkey State Railways (TCDD) and light rail systems. In addition, it has the potential to become an important player in the international market by providing advanced technology services for the testing and certification of high-speed trains.
Expressing their confidence in the URAYSİM Project, ASKON Eskişehir Branch stated that Turkey's capacity in the field of rail systems will increase and it will be among the leading countries of the world in this field. It is believed that the successful implementation of the project will enable Turkey to take an important technological and industrial step.
The URAYSİM Project, which will be implemented in Eskişehir, is an opportunity that should be supported by all segments of the city. However, unfortunately, it is tried to be prevented by baseless and distorted claims made by Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality. In the statement of ASKON Eskişehir Branch, it was emphasized that such criticisms would put the future of the project at risk and it was a great evil done to Eskişehir. It is difficult to understand that a mentality that opposes important projects for the future and development of the country tries to prevent an important project like URAYSİM.
The URAYSİM Project stands out as a versatile facility that goes beyond just being a test area and laboratory, adding value to its region and its people. This project will contribute to Turkey's becoming an internationally competitive power in the field of rail systems and will give a significant impetus to the country's economy.
