Strong in logistics

Railway logistics is among Kouvola’s main strengths. The capacity of the largest Finnish cargo marshalling yard and the volume of cargo handled makes Kouvola the most central location for railway transport in Finland.

Around 100 logistics companies operate in the Tehola-Kullasvaara logistics area; nearly 300 in the entire Kouvola region. The logistics sector has nearly 2000 employees. In 2015 and in 2020, Kouvola was ranked as the best logistics centre in the Northern Europe.

Kouvola RTT is the only Finnish railroad terminal in the EU’s core transport network. As part of the network, it is comparable in significance to the main Finnish ports and airports. The area will expand in the future. A modern intermodal terminal is under construction in Tehola in Kouvola.
