3 What is the biggest challenge on the way to a faster, cheaper and hassle-free rail logistics across Eurasia? SILK ROAD Infrastructure Automotive and electrotechnical industry in Central Europe (KIA, VW, PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN, Jaguar Land Rover, Samsung) Legislation Sufficient capacity of the railway infrastructure, the combined transport terminal Dobrá, usage of the railway - Danube waterway Cooperation Potential trade in the line of southern Europe - CIS countries and Asia 3

4 How to tackle the challenge? Promotion, cooperation and coordination of all logistics chain members (operators, customers and owners of goods) on positive aspects and advantages of rail transport from Asia to Europe Proportional distribution of goods flows (trains) among the participants to reach maximum utilization of the available capacity of the railway infrastructure and operational-technological capacities Simplification of legislation, customs and transport standards and directives Appropriate State Policy in Supporting Rail Transport from Asia to Europe (e.g. subsidies for new wagons, terminals, modernization of transshipment facilities, etc.) 4

5 What positive results this can lead to? Substantial shortening of the transport time by rail compared to sea transport (from 8 to 4 weeks) = Time is money Flexibility and choice of alternative railway routes A large increase in the number of trains from China to Europe Better and more efficient circulation containers (TEU) = lower number of used containers Increased demand for rail freight transport = greater development of rail transport (new investments, modernization and reconstruction of railways and terminals) 5
