This will bring a mega change in the world of mobility/transport under the banner of international collaboration with EU standards/accession rights to EU plus Rest of the World. China and EU just launched High Speed Rail with EU, Russia, China and Pakistan with oue bilateral treaty of CPEC to act/broker Pakistan Accesstion to EU, Russia, China, and rest of the world.
