Ineco has signed a technical cooperation agreement with the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) for the institutional strengthening of EPL (Empresa de Planejamiento e Logistica), under the Ministry of Transport of Brazil. The works will be focused on the reform of the management of transport, especially railways, which will be proposed to apply a similar one to the European model. In addition, Ineco will work on the regulation of rail operators, safety and circulation, and signaling and telecommunications systems. Furthermore, a calculation model of costs for a waterway network (river transport routes) will be carried out, vital to the country for its size and the volume of goods transported. The tool will be integrated into models of logistics and freight that are being developed by EPL.
