Modernised terminal in Přerov strengthens intermodal logistics

ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) has opened the modernized container terminal in Přerov-Horní Moštěnice. By doubling the terminal area and increasing capacity, the Czech site is further strengthening its role as a logistics hub in Central Europe.

Opening of an intermodal terminal with containers, trains and reach stacker

As part of the revitalization project, RCG has strategically expanded the container terminal to eliminate existing bottlenecks. Specifically, the terminal area was increased by around 17,100 m², nearly doubling to a total of around 36,000 m². In addition, enlarged handling areas, improved rail connections and modern transshipment technology enable more efficient operations and higher train frequencies. With capacity increasing from 1,300 to 3,000 TEU — Twenty-foot Equivalent Units — customers in combined transport also benefit from greater flexibility.

Přerov as a key logistics hub 

The modernized terminal ensures faster and more reliable processes, as well as significantly increased handling capacities for containers and semi-trailers. This further strengthens Přerov’s position as a distribution center in Central Moravia and as a key node in the international network. Additional connections to the ports of Koper and Rijeka are also planned, along with closer integration into intermodal and Eurasian transport flows.

Strengthening climate-friendly rail transport 

With this expansion, RCG is continuing to drive the modal shift to rail. Expanded combined transport services help reduce CO₂ emissions and ease the burden on road infrastructure. The modernized terminal therefore reinforces the role of rail as a sustainable and future-ready logistics solution in Europe.
