The programme is a bilateral cooperation between the Dutch Government (EVD en V&W) and Dutch companies assembled under the Sino Netherlands Platform for infrastructure, transport and logistics. One could say that this programme is a vehicle for the private sector to participate in projects related to the Memorandum of Understanding between the two Ministries of Transport and the Government-to-Government co-operation projects.The enormous growth in the Chinese transport sector has increased the need to raise security and safety levels and to decrease the external effects and energy use.
