Kouvola RRT Rail and Road Terminal
The Kouvola Rail and Road Terminal's specialty are the kilometre-long loading tracks, which bring efficiency to the handling of freight trains. EU’s goals to develop railway traffic, require railway yards and loading terminals to be equally available to all operators. The Kouvola RRT enables this.
The terminal is located in the Kouvola Tehola logistics area at the junction of the main road and railway network. It was built by the city of Kouvola, and its operations are managed and developed further by Railgate Finland Ltd.
The terminal operates on an open access principle and allows for handling trains of over one kilometre in length. RRT is an efficient and competitive terminal area for intermodal transportation. The mode of transport can be changed easily based on need. In addition, it will enable the use of new cargo-handling methods using robotics and digitalisation that result in time and cost savings in rail freight transportation.
The terminal will respond to the growing requirements of national and international traffic.
Kouvola – a modern and international centre of freight transport
The current logistics centre in Kouvola is located in the Tehola area that will form part of the Kouvola RRT area. At present, Kouvola has around 300 companies operating in the sector with nearly 2000 jobs. In a comparison of European logistics centres in 2015 and in 2020, Kouvola was rated the best in Northern Europe.
Kouvola RRT is the only railway and road terminal in Finland that is part of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T). In terms of international significance, the terminal can be compared to the main ports and airports in Finland.
