Hello,

Of late I have been reading lot of articles on "Middle East and Africa" being the the new hot spot for light rail projects. Nations are investing heavily to improve the railway infrastructure (many projects involving light rail).

One thing really intrigues me.Transportation majors are vying for a substantial share in those projects now. Those includes some leading tram manufacturers that don't have any presence in the market (not even in terms of sales office/ marketing office). I wonder how it would be possible for them to bid for the projects without having significance presence. Could any one throw some light or suggestions on the same.
