| Gulf Traffic is the Middle East's Ttransport Infrastructure Show Gulf Traffic is firmly established as a major regional and international event - the 2007 show takes place from 10-12 December 2007 at Dubai International Exhibition Centre and will once again bring together international manufacturers and suppliers offering the very latest products, services and technologies for the transport industry. Gulf Traffic is the Middle East's premier transport infrastructure show - the 2007 edition takes place in December at Dubai International Exhibition Centre and will once again bring together international manufacturers and suppliers offering the very latest products, services and technologies for the transport industry, comprehensively covering all aspects of roads, rail, bridges, construction, tunneling, technology and infrastructure. Like all the modern cities of the region, and indeed, the world, Dubai's transportation needs are growing rapidly due to the increasing demand generated by the upward trend of international business relocations, huge increase in commercial activities, the growth of tourism and an ever increasing population. In order to realise its vision, the Government of Dubai created the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), which has given its full support to Gulf Traffic. With over 7, 000 people working round the clock at different sites across the city, Dubai's ambitious US$4.2 billion Metro project is well on track to start operation in 2009. Once complete, 87 fully automated, driverless trains will run on the Red and Green Lines, which will comprise over 75kms of track, and the system will be capable of handling 2 million passengers. For the first time, Gulf Traffic 2007 has support from major government associations from the UK (The Railway Industry Association), France (UBI France) and Germany (Bayern International). The sheer number and scale of projects in progress across the region make it one of the most active global markets for the transportation industry. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
