The company won a tender for the service called by state-run project company 2TDK and should complete the installation by the end of 2025, Kontron said.

In addition to the actual delivery, installation, final testing and commissioning, the scope of work also includes the design of the project for implementation for special systems that are linked to the supplied technology and the preparation of the documentation of the performed works, the company added.

The project for the construction of a second track on Divaca-Koper railway line is an integral part of the pan-European transport network and represents a modern connection of the Koper port to both the Slovenian and the European railway network. The line holds significant importance as a transport artery between Koper port and its hinterland, facilitating the transit of about 60% of the goods routed through the port.
