Participation of Turkish railway companies to Logitrans was less then past years. Most of them prefer to be visitor this year.

On the other hand, railway was also in the stands, mostly by European logistic or railway companies.

This year, although announced before, none of the railway companies are given the award of “Railway Company of The Year”.

On the other hand, this year, a new category, “The Logistics Manager of The Year” is held. According to the results of internet voting, Esber Horasan, Intermodal Transportation Manager of Ekol Logistics, got the award in railway category.
