Debrecen Logistics and Truck Terminal

In June 2022, Debreceni Ingatlanfejlesztő Kft. won the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) 2 Transport - Actions related to Safe and Secure Mobility - General Envelope (CEF-T-2021-SAFEMOBGEN) tender, for the development of a safe and secure truck parking facility. The aim of the project is to create a regional, centralised, cost-efficient logistics and truck terminal that will serve the BMW plant, its suppliers, urban and regional clients, the Southern Economic Zone, as well as the city’s smaller industrial parks.

All three of the city’s industrial parks are easily accessible via the M35 motorway, within a maximum of 10 minutes. Near the truck terminal, there is an intermodal rail terminal, which is also an important element of the logistics value chain. With the new customs office, truck traffic arriving for customs clearance can be diverted from the city centre. The truck terminal will have the capacity to also serve the transit traffic of the M35 motorway.

Positive externalities for the city:

The use of zero-emission vehicles and the concentration of logistics tasks will significantly reduce environmental, noise, and traffic burdens:

- Electric trucks can serve container traffic within a 70 km radius. Long-distance transport will be supported by LNG/hydrogen refuelling options.

- The large-scale logistics for the supply of goods in Debrecen can be relocated to the DLKT, from where city logistics can be carried out using electric vans.

- With the relocation of the customs office, truck traffic arriving for customs clearance would also be concentrated here.

In the event of an emergency, it can operate as a relief parking area
