“The Litorânea Sul will be a great instrument for the development of ES”, said the governor of ES, Renato Casagrande.
According to the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, “is the consolidation of an innovative solution to build a railroad in Brazil without using public resources. Cross-investment, using grants from railway concessions, is one of the main strategies of the Federal Government to double the participation of this mode in the national transport matrix. We are showing that the budget constraint will not be an impediment to developing the country's infrastructure.”
The EFC and EFVM railroads are considered the safest in Brazil and leaders in environmental performance, according to an assessment carried out by the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT).
