Article: DB Cargo Hungária expands Győr Terminal, strengthening DB Cargo’s presence in Hungary
Expansion strengthens Central/Eastern Europe: Győr delivers higher availability and resilient services.
With the official inauguration of new infrastructure elements at the Győr terminal, DB Cargo and its wholly owned subsidiary DB Cargo Hungária are setting another strategic milestone in the European network. The expansion specifically strengthens maintenance and terminal capacities and supports the requirements of automotive and industrial transport in the region — notably for Audi Hungaria and the Volkswagen Group.
Capacity expansion at the strategic Győr site
At the Győr site, 121 metres of additional track and a modern maintenance area with around 1,000 square metres of space were officially put into operation. The centrepiece of the expansion is a 25-metre-long maintenance pit designed for the maintenance of locomotives and wagons. This will enable DB Cargo Hungária to significantly increase both technical availability and operational flexibility at the terminal. The Győr site has been a central component of DB Cargo's service portfolio in Hungary for decades. Since its acquisition by DB Cargo in 1999, the facility has been continuously developed - with a clear focus on performance, reliability and integration into the European production and transport network.
Strengthening the regional presence within the European DB Cargo network
With this investment, DB Cargo and DB Cargo Hungária strengthen rail logistics in Hungary, with a clear focus on the country’s automotive and industrial hubs. The Győr expansion increases capacity and fleet availability and streamlines handovers between transport, maintenance and transhipment — enabling faster, more reliable services for regional manufacturers and suppliers. In this way, the Győr site supports stable traffic streams for wagon manufacturers and their suppliers in Hungary as well as the associated cross-border European supply chains.
Efficient terminal structures with integrated maintenance are a decisive competitive factor, especially for complex industrial and automotive transport operations. DB Cargo Hungária plays a key role here as a regional centre of excellence within the DB Group.
Focus on automotive and industrial partners
A particular focus is on further strengthening cooperation with Audi Hungaria and other industrial partners in the region. The expanded capacities create the basis for faster response times, greater availability of traction equipment and more efficient handling of transport operations overall. The investment underlines DB Cargo's commitment to offering its customers reliable, scalable and sustainable solutions along the entire logistics value chain - especially in highly synchronised industrial production environments.
A sign of appreciation and continuity
As part of the opening ceremony, a diesel locomotive was christened "Nándor". DB Cargo Hungária thus honoured the long-standing commitment of former Managing Director Nándor Németh, who played a key role in the establishment and development of the site.
Expansion in Győr with integrated maintenance increases capacity and vehicle availability, shortens throughput times.
Together with customers, partners and industry representatives, the expansion was celebrated as a clear commitment to long-term investment, technical excellence and partnership-based cooperation.
