Haco was instrumental in developing and implementing the first turnkey
mass-transit project in Turkey, the Istanbul light rail transit system in the
early 80s and has since then participated in many major mainline and
mass transit projects.
RAILWAYS IN TURKEY
In the last 15 years the mainline and mass-transit capacity has increased substantially with the introduction of high-speed rail
links between major cities, such as Istanbul, Ankara, Eskişehir and Konya. Until 2023, the length of the whole railway lines will be
more than doubled and 90% of all tracks will be electrified.
