In a bold bid for China’s container trade, private investors have started building a €61 million road and rail terminal in Fényeslitke

In a bold bid for China’s container trade, private investors have started building a €61 million road and rail terminal in Fényeslitke, Hungary, 25 km south of Ukraine’s border crossing in Chop, Zakarpattia. Scheduled to open this time next year, the 125-hectare intermodal terminal will have its own 5G network and will be capable of handling 1 million TEU containers a year. Called East-West Gate, the terminal will use massive, computerized cranes to shift containers to trucks or EU gauge trains from the broad-gauge trains that carry Chinese cargo across the former Soviet Union. The site is 50 km north of Hungary’s new M3 motorway to Budapest and 14 km south of a junction of two dual gauge rail lines, from Mukachevo and Uzhgorod.
