Romania is already in the Book of Records: due to its huge dimensions, the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest is the second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon, in terms of volume it is in third place on Earth and beats all the constructions on the world map in the “weight” category. It is not certain that the future plant in Oradea (west) will be registered in the Book of Records too, but, thanks to it, Romania will certainly set a first, as it will be the first tyre company in the world with zero CO2 emissions. <\/p>\n

The building of the plant started on Thursday and the works are carried out by the Finnish company Nokian Tyres. The value of the investment is over 600 million euros, of which 100 million represents the support granted by the Bucharest Government. Production will begin towards the end of 2024, and hundreds of jobs will be created in the new plant. The official launch of the investment took place in the presence of Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuc\u0103, who said:<\/p>\n

“Zero carbon dioxide emissions – it is the first tyre plant in the world to achieve this level of ambition. It is very important if we thing of the steps that are currently taken, at the level of the European Union, and around the world, to protect the environment and I think it is an example that can be followed. It will have its own green energy production component and of course it will also benefit from the facilities that local authorities are developing in terms of ensuring electricity from renewable sources.” <\/p>\n

Starting 2024, approximately 6 million tyres will leave the gates of the Oradea plant annually. However, this also implies the need for a transport infrastructure to support the Finns from Nokian Tires, and, as a whole, to support all Romanian or foreign investors in Romania. Thats why Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuc\u0103 also visited the construction site of the connecting road between the Oradea ring road and the A3 motorway, which will connect Bucharest to the Bor\u0219 customs point on the border with Hungary, along 600 kilometers. The project is almost 55% complete and costs around 545 million lei (over 1 million euros), money from European funds. The investment is considered particularly important, especially for national and international freight transport. In the Prime Ministers opinion, such an investment proves how important the connection between local and central authorities is for the achievement of strategic objectives. (MI)<\/p>\n
