Around the world

Transitec has a wide experience of studies in Africa and the Near East with important projects carried out in  Cotonou and throughout Benin, Libreville, Dakar, Tananarive, Tunis, Sfax, Tangier, Fès, Nouakchott, and Jerusalem, projects which touch on all aspects linked to transport, from the planning to the implementation of the measures resulting from these studies.

Thus, Transitec has a longstanding knowledge and appreciation of the culture, habits and working conditions in African countries, particularly in North, Central and West Africa, as well as in the Near East.
