Food products. Well-known Danish trading house with a wide range of food products want to enter the Thai market. The Product range consists among other of: frozen good such as vegetables, chips, fish, meat and chicken;

tinned meat; dairy products as well as raw materials for food processing. The company can deliver packs for retail business either with the companies own brand orwith the purchasers trademark. The company is well estab-

lished and dynamic with sales in more than 50 countries worldwide and with offices in several European countries aswell as in China.

The Flexliner is easily recognised by its flat front. As each trainset has its

own traction, onq long train could for instance be spllt up into small, Iocal trains, as tne:main train moves along towards its end destination.

Flexi:ble Danish train

excellent for Thailand The Flexliner is a typical Danish innovation. No locomotives are neededn as each single passenger carriage has its own diesel engine and may in minutes be combined to one single train.

A proposal to implement the Danish train concept known as the f lexliner will shortly be formally presente$ to the State Railway of Thailand.

Danish ambassador to Thailand, H.E. Jorgen Reimers, recently invited Thailand's Minister for Transport and Communications, Mr. Wanmuhamadnoor Matha, to visit Denmark to experience for himself the functionality of the train.

The Flexliner-concept is unique in several ways. First of all, each trainset is self driven in both directions with a small drivers cabin in each end. Secondly, each of these trainsets can be coupled together in minutes to become one single train - or broken down to small, local trains. And thirdly, the modern facilities of the train with telephone and fax facilities, electric

today drive their own cars or take a domestic flight.

The Flexliner seems in many ways to be almost tailor made for Thailand, as it would solve some of the country's major traffic problems.

Trains from all provinces could be appr:oaching Bangkok from different directions but would not have to go all the way to the central train station. Instead the train would be broken down to single trainsets, whereby passengers going north

or south could save time by continuing

plugs for computers and adaptors for

directly to their end destinations.

The remaining trainsets could then be combined to smaller trains going into the city, which would minimize the interruption of traffic at intersections.

To f inance the purchase of the Flexliner and its implementation, the Danish devel-

mobile phones would make it an attractive alternative for the type of passengers who

Denmark

Dear Reader, lpil36d is known all over the World for its golden temples, unique culture and its smiling and friendly population, and Thailand and Denmark has for centuries enjoyed a close and business like relation.

7r I

In that spirit, lhe State Railways of Thailand has recently taken an interest in the

Danish developed Flexliner train, which has for some years already been successfully implemented in Denmark. With the Flexliner, the State Railway of Thailand would be able to bring more people faster and more comfortable to more destinations than evâ‚Źr before - even before the various planned expansions of the Thai railroad network are completed.

The amazing fact is, that already 65 years ago, when Thailand was one of the first counlries in all of Asia to pioneer into diesel locomotives, the State Railway of Thailand likewise turned to Denmark for a reliable, state-of-the-art technology supplier. And indeed found this very same companyr which - after a number of mergers and acquisi'tts typically tions over the years - is now offering Thailand the Flexliner-concept with Danish approach to efficiency.

This is one of the truly fascinating things aboul the present day relationship between Denmark and Thailand: A century ago, when Denmark and Danes were one of the most active nations in Thailand and a driving force behind the management of the modernization process in practically all the public and private sectors of the Kingdom of Thailand, no-one could possibly imagine the dramatic changes which has taken Place since.

Still today, however, these old Thai-Danish relations remain very much alive, like an unaffected friendship, creating new and profitable business opportunities almost daily.

Both the Danish Chamber of Ccnmerce and the Royal Danish Embassy in Bangkok assist wery day Danish and Thai companies in creating new business relations and indeed in establishing new personal ties for future historians to look into and be amazed.

To expand these relations between Thai and Danish businessmen, the Danish Chamber of Commerce throughout the year hosts a variety of events and meetings, where members meet and new business opportunities arise. To join this club of major Danish and Thai companies already active in the Thai-Danish trade seems - for personal and professional reasons alike - to be a good idea .

What it takes, is a special weight, whflch at fixed interval is dropped on the road surface, and a specially developed sensitive equipment to monitor the

The equipment, worth 1O0 mill. baht, will be offered

Thailand made history with Danish diesel train

:alv'hiur{lu fl r

fully demonstrated the superior technology of its newly acouired six Danish diesel locomotives on the long distance route all the way from

Bangkok

to Singapore

and

back.

Ten years earlier, Thailand had acquired its very first diesel locomotive on a test basis. Even the United States had at that time not even thought of changing their old steam engines to the new technology. Satisfied with the diesel locomotives, Thailand then in 1930 ordered the six new, Danish diesel locomotives for passenger trains and one more especially designed locomotive for freight trains.

When delivered in the autumn of 1931 , they were first put to test on the tough and uphill Bangkok-Chiangmai railroad. Pleased with their performance, the Danish locomotives were then employed on the rails to and from all the othqr major provincial capitals of Thailand.

A key person behind the

decision to buy the Danish equipment was the then

come to Thailand in 1907 and - like so many other Danes at that time - soon rose to his prominent position within the administration.

Zachariae, however; per-

sonally disagreed with the revolution in 1932 that changed Thailand to its present constitutional monarchy. Consequently, he left Thailand at the end of December that year.

But his job was done. No other country in all of Asia had at that time embraced

the new technology

and

Thailand's neighbours were

watching closely. The request for demonstration of the new train on the route to Singapore in 1932 came from Malaysia.

Of course, Denmark's consul to Thailand was

among the prominent passengers on the very first train. One can only imagine his excitement of being pulled along the track by a Danish supplied locomotive and sleeping in the luxurious 1st Class sleeping carriages build of teak wood, which was likewise delivered from Denmark.

The trip went smoothly until shortly before arriving

back in Bangkok when the locomotive hit a water buffalo on the track and had its stairs up to the drivers cabin slightly bent.

The new train initially shortened the trip down to 32 hours and later further cut

the trip down to only

26

hours including half an hours

stop at the Thai-Malaysian border at Padang Besar.

While the diesel locomotives where delivered by the

company A/S Frichs, the

luxurious sleeping carriages were delivered by the company Scandia in Randers.

The Danish waste incineration

plant, Avedorevaerket, in the middle of Copenhagen, generates power and district heating to the residents.

WASTE EQUALS ENERGY In the Danish capital, Gopenhagen, more than half the waste is recycled and what is left is incinerated at two, clean and odourless incineration plants - generating electric power and district heating for the residents in the process.

More than thirty years ago,

Denmark went through its process of industrialisation, realizing somewhat late in the process that rapid industrial and economic progress inevitably comes at an environmental price.

Today, Denmark has implemented one of the most comprehensive environmen-

tal protection laws of the

world. Fudhermore. the country has engaged itself in trans-

ferring the know-how and technology accumulated in this process. This way, Denmark can assist Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia in addressing thei r growing environmental problems at an early stage.

The key to this has been Recvcling the successful implementa- Second priority is given to tion of an ambitious waste increasing the percentage of management plan which the total waste generated, aims

To reduce the amount of waste, the authorities have adopted a high-tech strategy,

mainly focused on promoting environmentally sound technology.

that can be recycled.

In doing so a key factor has been the establishment and promotion of a popular system for sorting waste at

the source - be it household or industrial waste - and collecting this pre-sorted waste at designated recycling stations, where paper, glass, metal, etc. are further sorted and processed into valuable raw materials for renewed production.

Today, the percentage of

total waste recycled has in-

creased lrom 15o/" to 55% since 1988 and the percentage deposited has declined trom 47o/" to 16%.

Atthe sametime, the sorting of waste further ensures that each category of waste is treated correctly: a hazardous waste, which must be treated in a special facility;

rated into pure, uniform fractions; and other waste, divided into burnable and non-burnable.

Incineration What is left as "burnable waste" is incinerated in two clean, odourless incineration plants, which at the same time generates electric power and district heating for the surrounding residents.

Surprisingly, "burnable waste" even includes wet sludge from waste water treatment plants, which is sprayed into the incineration chamber much like fuel in a combustion engine.

The fact, that these two incineration plants are sufficient to serve all of the Dan-

ish capital, - and that the plants are built in the middle

of "Clean Copenhagen" - is living proof of the efficiency of the Danish solution to modern waste management.

ASTE TREATMENT IN DENMARK

Twentyyears of Danish experience Through twenty years, Denmark has proved that economic growth does not necess3rily come at the expense of the environment.

Denmark was one of the first countries to implement a national Environmental Protection Act, in 1973. This legislation is considered to be among the most comprehensive in the world, and pro-

vided the driving force for several Danish companies to develop various advanced technologies to m eet the antipollution requirements it contains.

The processes and tech-

nologies developed in this way have been applied in other countries as well. The sector is made up of about

In air pollution treatment, Danish companies have de-
