Dear Colleague,

Global Railway Industry Events is proud to host tw

o key industry conferences - H

eavy Haul Rail South Am

erica 2013 & U

rban Rail Brazil 2013.

Export powerhouse Brazil has set its sights on becom

ing a better destination for investm

ent with a new

railway concession regim

e designed to open its rail m

arkets and create a more effi cient, productive and safer rail netw

ork.

Brazil, the world’s fi fth largest country, has over 29,000 km

of freight track and just over 1000km

of passenger tracks for a population of 196.7 million.

To meet the rising dem

ands for rail, Brazil plans to double the capacity of its freight rail netw

ork by 2020 and extent its urban rail network to cope w

ith the estim

ated 3.5million expected to attend m

atches in the 12 host cities across the vast country for the FIFA 2014 W

orld Cup.

Heavy H

aul Rail South America 2013 addresses the opportunities for

improvem

ent and innovation and examines the projects currently under

way to expand the country’s rail netw

ork. Now in its 2nd year, the tw

o-day conference and exhibition brings together rail operators and suppliers, resource sector representatives, governm

ent offi cials and infrastructure providers to review

the investment and planning strategies underw

ay.

For the fi rst time, U

rban Rail Brazil 2013 brings together leading rail and transport planning executives to feature project case studies and discuss sm

art solutions in meeting Brazil’s urban rail challenges.

From legislation and econom

ic viability to construction and advances in railw

ay technology, both events provide a unique opportunity to look at the strategies aim

ed at expanding the capacity of Brazil’s rail network.

I look forward to seeing you in São Paulo this O

ctober.
