Johnny Weissmuller Intermodal Freight Center MASTERPLAN

Intercontinental transport connections

The majority of the European consumer goods are produced in the Far East and shipped to Europe through the Mediteranean Sea.

Continental transport connections

A shorter supply route through the Black Sea and the port of Constanta means a much faster and cheaper way to transport goods. From there to the central european regions, the intermodal chain expands through Timisoara.

The position of Timisoara

Timisoara has a key position in the region, within reach from all major eastern european cities. It lies at half way between Vienna and Constanta.

Transport network

The main transportation axis in Eastern Europe, existing or in construction, are passing through Timisoara and the Timis county linking Central Europe with the Black Sea and the Egeean peninsula.

Regional network

As the main city of the DANUBE-KRIS-MURES-TISA economic cooperation area, Timisoara has close road and railway links to the entire region.

The Timis county

The Timis county is one of the main foreing investors target in Romania. Having well prepared and skilled labour work aswell as close connections to Central Europe, it has the second economic numbers in Romania, after the capital Bucharest.

Timisoara

Timisoara has a rich economic and cultural background. As formerly part of the Austrian Empire and now the 3rd biggest city in the country, it was allways regarded as the most western city in Romania not only by its geographical position.

Industrial platforms

Timisoara has 5 major industrial areas, and more smaller parks. The eastern side of the city gathers more and more investors in logistics and automotive branches.

Timisoara east

The eastern part of the city is quickly becoming interesting. With the new city road belt, and the now building Budapest-Constanta highway passing close by, the area around Remetea Mare will be in the middle of things.

Area functions
