Assystem to oversee Turkey’s new Europe-Asia electrified rail link project
Assystem has been appointed to oversee the development of a new 67 km section of high-speed electrified railway line between Ispartakule and Çerkezköy, that will reduce carbon emissions and connect Turkey to the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) via Bulgaria.
