New Service to Turkish Logistics Sector:

38.5 Million Euros from Arkas

Locomotive Investment

Believing that supporting on-site production in Turkey is the key to Anatolia's development, Arkas has invested in railways for many years, bringing innovation to the Turkish logistics industry and buying a locomotive. The company, which ordered five Euro Dual model locomotives with an investment of 38.5 million Euros, will receive three of the locomotives in 2025 in the first place. With environmentally friendly locomotives, it will transport import-export containers from Turkey's leading industrial cities to Turkey's largest ports with scheduled flights.

Acting with the belief that connecting Anatolian cities to ports by rail will encourage on-site production and has been investing in this direction for more than 20 years, Arkas, with the motto "The Power Behind Logistics", makes pioneering investments in developing the logistics industry, with Arkas Rail, which it established under the umbrella of Arkas Logistics, within the scope of the 'Arkas Anatolia Project'. In the 100th anniversary of the Republic, it continues to break new ground by using the advantage of the railway to connect Anatolia to ports and the world at affordable costs.

Arkas Rail, with an investment of 38.5 million Euros, joins Stadler Rail Valencia S.A.U. While ordering five Euro Dual model, diesel and electric locomotives from the company, it is also planning to purchase nearly 100 wagons. Thus, the company aims to offer its customers a faster and safer transportation service with lower cost advantages.

Making a statement on the subject, Arkas Logistics CEO Onur Göçmez said, “It was very important to purchase a locomotive in order to be able to carry on scheduled services on the railway. With the Liberalization of Railway Transport Law in Turkey, the private sector was given the opportunity to invest in locomotives. As a company that has been investing in railway equipment and land terminal for many years, we are planning to provide service to the entire sector with the investment of five locomotives, three of which will be delivered in 2025, under the umbrella of Arkas Rail company, breaking new ground in the sector. In addition to this, we are working on purchasing another 100 wagons in addition to our 700 self-owned wagons. Thus, Arkas Rail will transport import-export containers on scheduled flights from Turkey's leading industrial cities such as Kayseri, Konya, Ankara, Gaziantep and Eskişehir, which it currently transports by rail, to Turkey's largest ports. On the other hand, it will serve with reciprocal block train services in rail container transportation, which continues to increase between Turkey and Europe, especially with countries such as Germany and Poland. This investment, which we will offer as a new service to the Turkish logistics industry, is an activity focused on port logistics, that is, container traffic, and will support the railport in Kartepe in the North and the land ports in Mersin Yenice in the South."

Environmental Locomotives

The most important feature of locomotives is that they are environmentally friendly. Thanks to the fact that the electric locomotives that emit zero carbon emissions also have a diesel engine, in case of a malfunction in the railway lines or power lines without electricity, they will be able to continue their transportation without interruption by switching from the electric engine to the diesel engine.

Route scheduled services to Europe and the railway Silk Road

Railport, the land terminal established by Arkas in partnership with Europe's largest intermodal logistics terminal operator duisport, in Kartepe, which has been shown as one of the best examples of complete logistics applications, the importance of which has increased in recent years, is planned to start operating in 2024. While Railport is a transfer terminal where the cargo on trains coming from and going to Europe can be unloaded and handled again, Arkas will carry out European transports from here to Kapıkule with its own locomotives.

On the other hand, Arkas Logistics, which started the first rail transport on the BTK (Baku-Tbilisi-Kars) railway line in 2017, carries cargo to Europe in transit with the Marmaray connection on the China-Turkey Iron Silk Road with its company Arkas Rail, which it established last year. While these newly opened transportation corridors offer the opportunity to transport Turkey's export cargoes to other new countries by rail, due to Turkey's geographical location, transit cargoes between Europe and Asia can be transported through Turkey, increasing the demand for rail transportation in Turkey, thus new generation locomotives and wagons. enabling investments to be accelerated.
