"The new acquisition is a 100% Romanian achievement, through the collaboration of two companies, one from Constanţa, the other from Craiova, being the first hybrid locomotive built in our country. The locomotive hauls trains from the intermodal terminal to the Curtici station, as well as to the border area. This locomotive is capable of pulling 600-meter-long trains, which have a mass of 2,000 tons," said Iustin Cionca.

Also, the president of CJ Arad signed the extension of the urban planning certificate for the project "By bike through the west-cycle tourism route". This project envisages two paved cycling tracks in our county. The first, on the route Secusigiu-Felnac-Zădăreni-Arad-Pecica-Semlac-Șeitin-Nădlac, and the second on the left side of Mureș, from Arad to Săvârșin.

It is an extensive project, in collaboration with 3 other counties, Timiș, Caraș-Severin, and Hunedoara, with a total length of 1,729 kilometers, financed by PNRR.

"In Arad, we will have two routes, one that will enter from Timiș, through Secusigiu, to Nădlac, and the other from Arad, on the southern bank of Mureș, through Fântânele, Frumușeni, Zabrani, Lipova, to Birchiș. From there, the route forks: one side towards Hundeoara, via Săvârșin, and the other towards Făget, Timiș county. These routes mean the facilitation of cycle tourism, the urge to get to know our county and, at the same time, a dose of health for those who love this sport", says the president of the CJ Arad, Iustin Cionca.
