Turkey's domestic tram meets clients at German fair

[cabatli_53]

The first domestically produced Turkish tram has been put on display at the German transport fair InnoTrans with the hope of securing overseas business deals.
The tram, named Silkworm, was developed in two-and-a-half years by Durmazlar Machinery and is now set to compete with industry giants such as Germany's Siemens, Canada's Bombardier and France's Alstom for potential clients from around the world.

Turkey is now proving to the entire world how advanced it is when it comes to product development, design and technology, the firm's chairman, Hüseyin Durmaz, said, speaking at the sidelines of the fair, according to a company statement released on Thursday. This is a big success for our country, he added. The fair opened its doors to visitors on Tuesday and will conclude on Friday afternoon.

The 27-meter-long tram has the capacity to carry 282 people and is able to move up a slope with a gradient of 8.2 percent if it weighs 50 tons or less. The Silkworm has a width of 2.4 meters and a height of 3.4 meters. Durmazlar aims to produce 100 of these vehicles per year in the short term and will consider increasing its production capacity based on demand.

We would love to see this exported to Pakistan too. I guess it's merely a matter of communication between governments.

BMC EXPORT POLICY

By understanding the local differences in various global markets, we have been able to export our products to more than 70 countries around the world due to developing flexible manufacturing systems.

In order to strengthen our existence in export markets, BMC has appointed distributors around the world. In addition to build-up units, BMC exports vehicles in SKD/CKD (Semi/Complete Knock Down) form which are assembled under BMC licence in several territories.

BMC continues to develop strategic co-operation and alliances with international firms in order to expand its geographical reach.

Starting with bursa are these going to be in all cities? I would like national products every city.

After the ones in Istanbul retire they should be replaced with these.

Pakistan needs to manufacture its own. Self-reliance is the best path.

 

[Banglar Lathial]

Good looking trams.

Is there any plan to build 'bullet trains' in Turkey?

Sometimes being a team-player is more profitable. It can save you from spending money on development. Depending on scale of your needs. This applies even for developed countries for instance; France have wasted billions of euros to development of rafale, with that much money they could buy hundereds of Typhoons or F18s. So far they couldn't export it either.

What im saying is; If you are in an alliance, just phucking use it. There's no need to re-invent the wheel

Unfortunately most of Turkey still uses railroads as old as our republic they remain from time of Atatürk's presidency. However we now have some sort of fast train between İstanbul and Ankara it visits some other provinces aswell. But... I don't think they are anywhere near those that were made in Japan.

I actually found what i was looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_Turkey

The suburban line i used to go work with is from Ottoman era and this is it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haydarpaşa-Gebze_Line
Most of suburban trains are replaced with new Hyundai-Rotem designs by the way.

That's good. Indonesia will also probably build bullet trains with Japanese assistance. I think there may be a window of opportunity for countries like BD and Pakistan to explore here. Turkey can 'guide' Pakistan with various educational, infrastructure and economic projects, and Indonesia and Malaysia, for example, can do the same to Bangladesh. In this way, all the participants stand to benefit. Turkey would have access to a bigger population to sell its products and services to, while Pakistan could do better with more successful management and economic achievements from a country that is geographically, culturally and religiously close to it.

The same goes for Bangladesh if countries like Indonesia and Malaysia 'guide' Bangladesh in various industrial, infrastructure and economic projects. Win-win situation for all parties.

In that case why didn't Tr just buy it from other countries? Again, best thing for Pakistan to do in the long-term is to manufacture it's own fleet of trams. Though before Pakistan can even do that it must reconfigure the street grid to allow for modern tram system and perhaps Pakistan can initiate this sometime in the future beginning with Islo.
