( 20.000 vehicules per year ) from road to rail. 4
Dacia production started with the model Logan in 2005 and became rapidly a success story.( 146.000 vehicules built in 2005, 348.000 in 2009 ) From the start in 2005 until March 2008 the import of Dacia vehicules to these zones was made by truck on a distance of 2440 kms with a truck rotation of 10 days. End of 2007 Renault tendered for a three years contract starting in April 2008. STVA won the contract with a rail offer ( 2 full trains per week, 60.000 vehicules). The project could not be profitable at the start due to the traction, and developments costs in wagons. STVA and its romanian partner Ansett Logistics applied for a Marco Polo Grant at the Marco Polo II call 2008. Autorom project is in association between STVA and the Company Ansett Logistics. Founded in 2005 with headquarters in Bucharest, Ansett Logistics is a consultancy and services Company with a long lasting experience in rail transportation for all kinds of goods. Its main customers are Lafarge, Perla Harghitei and SNCF Group. Ansett Logistics is running the Romanian leg : loading in Pitesti and monitoring the trains up to the Romania/Hungary border. STVA is the project leader holder of the Contract with Dacia/Renault. Ansett Logistics is 20% part of the Autorom project 5
Main characteristics of the project: - 60.000 vehicules over 3 years - Rail journey through Romania- Hungary-Austria- Switzerland- France : 2.440 kms longest distance by train for automotive products. - 2 trains of 16 wagons ( 200 vehicules ) a week requiring 4 sets of 16 wagons - Day A day E lead time. - Modal shift 70 trucks off the road 550 Millions Tkms 18.000 t of CO2 reduction ( 1 truck = 460 kgs CO2: v vs 1 train = 160kgs CO2/v transported ) - Total budget : 22 millions ( eligible costs ). - In competition with low costs trucking companies - Marco Polo Grant of 850K - Some teething problems. Running seamlessly now. Flexibility : 1 to 5 trains per week Reliability and regularity : 88% ponctuality.( 8% : 1 day late ) Damage ratio : 2.5% Spare capacity with road transportation :3.5% - Lack of backload volumes : 6.000 targeted, nil achieved 6
STATE of PLAY Forecast For the third year of the Contract volume forecast quite high : target of 60.000 vehicules over three years should be achieved.. Tender expected for renewal last quarter of 2010 for one year April 2011/ March 2012. Autorom project is running financially as per target: break even in the third year of the Contract. The balance of the project was based on MP II grant and productivity in rail purchase, loading and unloading efficiency and wagon rotation. 7
