The name "De Karaso" is that of the Caras (Severin) county with the residence in Resita. Here has appeared this initiative that aspires to be a successfull continuation of more than 230 years of industrial tradition.

The name "Simplon" as common noun (the simplon) was used in the 30's - 40's for the luxurious train Orient Express (Paris-Istanbul) which passes through the homonimous swiss tunnel. In Romania the simplon was propeled by a famous "built in Resita" steamengine.

As an inspiration source we mention the famous streamengines built in Resita between 1872 - 1964, that now became an honour emblem of the city.
