The processing capacity of the railway terminal in the Wroclaw area will increase by a third thanks to the project by Schavemaker Logistics & Transport company, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Cargo handling at the railway terminal

A new electrified track for receiving trains up to 740 meters long will meet the standards of the TEN-T network.

FastCharge: Super-fast charging for battery-powered trains

Upon completion of the works, shunting operations can be performed at both ends of the track without accessing the mainline, and the terminal will be able to handle three freight trains simultaneously.

This will increase its processing capacity by 30% and improve efficiency by 35%.

To reduce environmental impact, noise barriers will be installed, and a solar panel park with storage will be built, reducing electricity expenses.

Financial support of €2.7 million for the project was obtained from the Connecting Europe Facility fund of the European Union.

The project is scheduled to be completed in June 2024.
