Intermodal operator Metrans finalised the acquisition of a 50% stake in the AFLUENT Arad South Terminal in Romania, near the border with Hungary. The facility is close to Szeged (HU), where the company is building another terminal.
“This investment will further strengthen our terminal network and reinforce our strategic presence in Southeast Europe”, Metrans said on LinkedIn. The company launched a new connection between Bucharest and Arad in the summer of 2025. From there, further connections are possible to various destinations, especially in Hungary and Germany.
Metrans pointed out that the only thing left to do is “the completion of all legislative processes”. The Czechia-based operator is not the only company that recently showed interest in the AFLUENT Arad South Terminal. For example, semi-trailers on rail specialist Helrom implemented a new connection between Dusseldorf and the Romanian terminal.
