Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloglu (disambiguation), in its written statement, pointed out that the contact lines of the production centers, which provide direct connections to the factories to transport raw materials, semi-finished products and final products, increase the competitiveness of industrialists, producers and exporters.

Uraloğlu pointed out that there are 286 connection lines with a length of 439 kilometers on Turkey's national railway network, and the transportations carried out with ⁇ İltisak lines account for approximately 45% of all railway freight transportations. In the first 8 months of 2024, a total of 17 million 449 thousand 75 tons of cargo was transported by railways. In this 8-month period, 7 million 842 thousand 981 tons of cargo were transported with contact lines. We estimate that this figure will exceed 11.5 million by the end of the year.

Uraloğlu underlined that they plan to reduce the share of 72 percent freight transportation on road roads to 57 percent and increase the share of transportation belonging to railways from 5 percent to 22 percent in line with their targets for 2053.

Construction of 13.3-kilometer linkage line continues

Stating that they are carrying out joint works to increase the number of contact lines with the sector stakeholders as well as the General Directorate of Infrastructure Investments (AYGM), TCDD and TCDD Tasimacilik, Uraloğlu said that the construction works of the connection lines in Gelemen-Tekkeköy and Yenikent-Kazan Soda ⁇ , which have a total length of 13.3 kilometers, are continuing.

Uraloğlu underlined that it is critical to increase the share of the railway in freight transportation, ⁇ 12. In line with the Development Plan targets, we aim to increase our total contact line length to 654 kilometers in order to ensure the connections of logistics centers to factories, industries, OIZs and ports by adding a total of 215.5 kilometers, 74.5 kilometers of which is 141 kilometers by TCDD and AYGM.

⁇ Iron roads are environmentally friendly, cost-effective and reliable ⁇

Referring to the importance of freight transportation by rail in Turkey, Minister Uraloğlu emphasized that railways always stand out as an environmentally friendly, low-cost and reliable transportation alternative.

Uraloğlu pointed out the critical role of railway transportation in Turkey's industrialization process and underlined that the interconnected lines play an important role in transporting the products to the national railway network.

How the Sichuan-Tibet Railway to be Built in the World's Toughest Geography Fights These Tough Conditions (Technology and Engineering Can Leave Your Mouth Open!)

by the Logistics TransportIn the Category: Logistics

In the chinese with engineering solutions The projects that attract attention manage to make a name for themselves on the world stage.

the Sichuan-Tibet Railway With a budget of $50.6 billion, it stands out as a huge transportation infrastructure.

This railway, which is exactly 1838 kilometers, connects the province of Sichuan to the Tibet Autonomous Region!

This railway, the foundations of which were laid in 2020, Until 2026 It is intended to be completed.

This railway will pass through areas known for high-altitude mountains, deep valleys, active fault lines and frequent earthquakes. in one of the most challenging geographies in the world They say it will be built.

Despite the difficult geography in question, the realization of this project is an important step in the engineering world. The turning point isIt is stated that it will be seen.

This project was completed by crossing the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, one of the highest railway lines in the world when completed. Breaking a new record It is stated that it will succeed.

So how do engineers deal with these challenging conditions using engineering solutions?

Modern tunneling machines and High seismic resistance bridge designs is among the most remarkable engineering solutions of this project.

In addition, some parts of the road will be built High Speed Train Lines It is intended to provide passengers with a comfortable and safe travel experience.

In addition, this project will include tunnels with a total length exceeding 1000 kilometers, and most of the tunnels Altitude over 4000 meters It is said that he will have.

Along the railway line, bridges need to be built to cross many rivers and valleys, and engineers need to build bridges to increase the durability of the bridges. carbon fiber and high strength The Steel It is added that it uses advanced technology materials such as.

Bridges equipped with seismic sensors can automatically adapt to sudden movements that may occur during an earthquake.

In addition, by using designs that select construction materials suitable for the harsh climatic conditions of the region and minimize the environmental impacts, the University of Sustainability It is also emphasized that it is kept in the foreground.

The travel time from Sichuan ⁇ dan Lhasa ⁇ ya to Sichuan ⁇ dan Lhasa ⁇ ya is approximate, making it possible for high-speed high-speed train lines with advanced technology to travel at a speed of 200 km per hour on this railway. From 36 hours to 13 hours It is stated that it can be lowered.

Automatic control systems and advanced signaling technologies, This will allow the trains to travel safely.

In a nutshell, Sichuan-Tibetan railway It shows not only China's success in infrastructure and transportation projects, but also its innovative vision in the field of engineering and technology.

Exports by rail in the first 7 months %Increased by 13.2

by the Logistics TransportIn the Category: Logistics

Foreks ⁇ Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that in the January-July period of 2024, exports realized by railway increased by 13.2 percent compared to the same period of last year, and 1.2 million tons Export to China He said he was carrying the load.

Stating that 86 percent of the said transportation, which corresponds to 1 million 32 thousand tons, was carried out from Istanbul and the surrounding provinces, Minister Uraloğlu noted that automotive spare parts, textile products, food, electronic products, chemical products, cement and construction materials came at the beginning of the exported products.

Uraloğlu shared the cargo data carried for export purposes for the January-July period of 2024. Minister Uraloğlu, emphasizing that Turkey has gained a significant momentum in railway transportation, said:

⁇ We see that the use of railways in export transportation of our country is increasing every year, and we are constantly working to improve our railway transportation and transportation infrastructure, which stands out with its environmental and economic aspects under the leadership of our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in order to meet the increasing need.

We have also renewed untouched conventional lines for almost a century. We have connected our organized industrial zones, factories and ports to our railway network. ⁇

⁇ 1.2 million tons of cargo moved in 7 months ⁇

Minister Uraloğlu stated that railway transportation increased Turkey's export potential in terms of both speed and capacity:

In the first 7 months of 2024, we carried out 1.2 million tons of export transportation and broke a record with an increase of 13.2 percent compared to the same period last year. The developing capacity of Turkey's railway transportation will further increase its export volume in the coming years. Our exports by rail are an important element of our country's economic growth. Our goal is to further consolidate Turkey's strategic role in Europe's trade lines by expanding these networks.

⁇ 86% of exports are from Istanbul and surrounding provinces ⁇

Stating that Istanbul and the surrounding provinces play an important role in railway transportation, Minister Uraloğlu said, ⁇ More than 1 million 32 thousand tons of cargo, which corresponds to 86 percent of the transportations in question, was transported from Istanbul and the surrounding provinces. In addition, we deliver export products to Europe from our provinces such as Izmir, Eskişehir, Ankara and Sivas. ⁇ He said it. Uraloğlu stated that these transportations reveal the logistical power of Turkey and the importance of railway transportation in exports and underlined that railway connections that provide connectivity with Europe make great contributions both economically and environmentally.

⁇ At least 8 freight trains operated daily between Turkey and Europe provide uninterrupted trade to Avrupa ⁇
