Abstract: Abstract In developing countries environment-friendly and energy efficient transport modes like rail or public mass transport do often not exist or operate with outdated old technologies. Only with modern technology these modes are able to attract the rapid growing transport demand. Technology transfer from developed countries can provide a quantum leap in the attractiveness of these modes. As investments in public transport modes are in many cases not attractive for private investors and as developing countries themselves often have not yet got the economic strength for such intensive investments, international developing assistance can provide the necessary funding for technology transfers.
