What is the impact of joining the Trans-Caspian Transport Route?
By joining the Trans-Caspian, Grampet clearly demonstrates that privately held companies in Romania are capable of participating in such complex international projects.
This marks a historic partnership for Romania – placing Grampet on the New Silk Road with a commercial network linking three continents (Asia, Europe and Africa).
I am confident we will demonstrate, as a country,
that we are a trustworthy partner, matching the level
of performance that such an alliance expects, and that
we will use this opportunity
to consolidate our strategic position within the global economic ecosystem. This alliance can turn Romania
into a logistic hub between Europe and Asia, a genuine “Eastern Gate of the European Community for the Near Middle East and Far East”.
One of the initial impacts will be intensifying inter-modal traffic in Romania, as well as in neighbouring countries creating a new route between China and the European Union. After final completion, GRAMPET Group’s railway operators will operate six countries from the EU community to this corridor (Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Austria and Greece) including Serbia in the near future.
We estimate that this partnership could generate nearly 100,000 new jobs for Romania alone and additional government revenue that will exceed 1 billion Euros.
