The Madrid-Vicálvaro Terminal, currently being developed by ADIF, represents a significant investment in Spain’s logistics infrastructure. With a project budget exceeding €300 million, the new terminal is designed to become a crucial logistics hub in central Spain, connecting Mediterranean and Atlantic rail corridors. Upon its scheduled launch in 2026, the facility will handle up to 150,000 intermodal units annually, serving as a key distribution point for goods moving between major Spanish ports and inland destinations.

This shipment represents continued progress in JSC “RIKON”‘s European expansion, following the successful implementation of projects in Valencia and other European ports and terminals.
