SNTF negotiating a partnership with General Motors
The national railway company (SNTF) is being finalized negotiations with the U.S. company General Motors (GM) about the project on the establishment of a joint enterprise. Materialize, it will only deal with the locomotive fleet maintenance SNTF.
For renewal, as provided in the five-year program to modernize the national rail, for which a budget of $ 18 billion has been allocated by the state, it is planned to acquire 30 new diesel locomotives and 20 other electric. Acquisitions requiring respective investments of about 7 and 12 billion dinars. "Also, the rehabilitation of 40 diesel locomotives old is inevitable," said Naït, Regional Director of SNTF Annaba, so that by 2012 his company to align itself with universal standards of implementation. A challenge that can not be identified, says he, without the contribution of technological and managerial giant U.S. auto industry GM. In this future partnership between Algeria American SNTF seems to have inspired the two models already materialized with the German Siemens and French CMA-CMG. The first partnership is a company born Estel Rail Automation, which Siemens holds 51% stake, specializes in signaling and telecommunications. Rail Link is in fact the result of the combination of a subsidiary of SNTF at number three in the world's merchant shipping CMA-CMG to transport containers by rail. Through this joint venture, says Naït, the French group plans to start its activities in Algeria by operating the railway service-Bejaia Rouiba (dry port of Algiers). A market that will open the door to development of its activity Rail in North Africa. In terms of the partnership between Algeria and the Algerian SNTF is associated with Naftal within the transit of energy products (ETPS) where the shares are fairly shared, or 50% each. Transportation Company Grain (TSG) is, moreover, born of his association with the CATO. However, the crossing between the tract SNTF Ferphos Group and Arcelor Mittal will not happen overnight. The Indian leader in the global steel industry dithers on the project inherent to the creation of a joint enterprise to be grouped together for a better exploitation of the mining line Ramdane Djamel-Bir Atter. With its 450 km of main roads and its 6 million tonnes of freight per year (ore, phosphate, coal, steel products, grain, fuel, fertilizer and other), this line is of great importance in the SNTF chessboard. Hence the placing on the rails of this irreversible joint enterprise, "says Naït. N. Benouaret-El Watan
