By Jeila Aliyeva - Trend:
The German Zeppelin GmbH has delivered more than 2,000 units of road construction and earthmoving equipment of the CAT brand to Turkmenistan since 2001, Trend reports with reference to the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan.
In cooperation with Zeppelin, many projects have been implemented in Turkmenistan, including the creation of the Altyn Asyr artificial lake.
CAT machines increase the productivity of operators by 45 percent due to high-tech equipment installed in each cabin, says the report.
Earlier, a source in the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Trend that there is potential for further investment by German firms in Turkmenistan in the diversification of the Turkmen economy and in modernization projects.
Germany may also invest in Turkmen sectors dealing with climate change, environment and water management, the representative added.
"There are about 50 German companies active in Turkmenistan," said the ministry.
German companies such as Siemens, Daimler, Rohde & Schwarz, Dresser-Rand, MAN, Bosch and others make a significant contribution to the implementation of long-term projects in Turkmenistan, the source noted.
