Beneficial to the region

Smooth and efficient freight traffic strengthens the national and international competitiveness of a region. Which is why the cities of Augsburg, Gersthofen and Neusäß have created a state-of-the-art freight village which

• relieves people and the environment from heavy traffic,
• secures the future of existing companies,
• promotes the establishment of new businesses,
• and creates new jobs in the region. 

To reach these goals, the Augsburg region GVZ makes use of a bimodal terminal on the interface between important road and railway connections. It optimises traffic in a way that is both city- and environmentally-friendly by

• shifting long-distance freight traffic from road to rail,
• multiplexing truck trips in the regional and city traffic through co-operations,
• making better use of individual trips while avoiding empty or double runs,
• and promoting synergy effects through joint services.
