The Leordeni-based terminal will have a capacity of up to 5,000 cars and will be located near the railway section linking Bucharest to Pitesti and Craiova. The German company will also ensure the rail transport of cars from Leordeni, in collaboration with Romanian railway operators.
The terminal is built by the German company’s subsidiary in Romania, Conlog – Realty Development and Logistics Consulting.
Sebastian Macriniuc, project manager of the subsidiary, told MEDIAFAX the company has not yet signed an agreement with the two carmakers. He added that the German company holds negotiations with Ford Romania and is in advanced talks with French group Renault, owner of Dacia.
The project started last year and will be developed in stages, said Macriniuc.
ARS Altmann was set up in 1975 in Munich and specializes in logistics services and transport of cars in Germany, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic and Italy.
It registered turnover of over EUR200 million and has 25 car terminals in Europe.
