Another programme highlight is the site visit, which is becoming a staple of RailFreight.com events. This time, we will have the chance to tour METRANS\u2019 hub in Dunajska Streda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Hub in Dunajska Streda boasts impressive numbers: a terminal area spanning 326,000 square meters and a stacking area covering 296,000 square meters. With an available trucking fleet of 223 trucks from long-term subcontractors, it offers a comprehensive intermodal solution for businesses worldwide. As a one-stop destination, it facilitates shipments to and from Europe in all directions. By loading cargo once onto various container types such as 20 or 40-foot containers, open tops, reefers, tanks, or bulk containers, their experts ensure the selection of the best transportation mode for intact cargo delivery to the final destination.<\/p>\n
