Astra Vagoane Călători, a company specializing in the manufacturing of tram cars located in Arad, western Romania, will soon sign a contract for military and passenger railcars with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, according to the main shareholder of the factory, Valer Blidar. In statements made on Tuesday, May 12, Blidar said that at least 20 military railcars intended for medical purposes will be produced for NATO.  The Arad company has previously produced command railcars for NATO, with a contract for 14 military railcars signed between the two parties four years ago. Eight of the 14 railcars have already been delivered in the first two years of the contract, but deliveries later stopped because NATO ran out of funding.  The financing line, however, is now available.
