GVZ-Entwicklungsmaßnahmen GmbH: GVZ Region Augsburg – A centre for market-oriented transport services

The Augsburg regional freight handling centre, Güterverkehrszentrum (GVZ) Re­­gion Augsburg, is an attractive location for market-oriented transport services, which is positioning itself in the south of Germany.
One important location advantage is its central position, with direct access to main transport links such as the A8 mo­­tor­­way, the B2 and B17 trunk roads and the rail network of Deutsche Bahn and Augs­­burger Localbahn, a local rail­­way line.

Therefore, GVZ Region Augsburg plays an important part as:
• a freight hub in the region of Swabia,
• a gateway in transalpine freight transport,
• an entrance to the corridor to southern and eastern Europe,
• an optimal hinterland location for sea­­port traffic.

A bimodal terminal for combined road and rail transport will be the core of the 112-hectare freight handling centre.

The GVZ development agency, GVZ-Ent­­wicklungsmaßnahmen GmbH, jointly run by the cities of Augsburg, Gersthofen and Neusäß, is offering properties between 2,000 and 93,000 square metres (61 hec­­tares altogether) on a nearby industrial estate, ready for building, to logistics companies and related businesses.
