The new Jundiz intermodal terminal transforms Álava into a fundamental hub for multimodal logistics, opening unique opportunities for Spanish companies and reinforcing the competitiveness of the logistics sector on the Atlantic Corridor.
The Logistics Challenge: Álava as a Strategic Connector on the Atlantic Corridor
The launch of the Jundiz intermodal terminal reinforces Álava’s role as a key node in the European logistics network. Integrated into the Atlantic Corridor and aligned with the European Transport Strategy (TEN-T), this infrastructure responds to growing demand for multimodal services and transport sustainability.
- Enables operators to connect goods efficiently by rail, road and sea.
- Facilitates direct access to routes towards mainland Spain, Morocco and the Canary Islands.
- Optimises logistics costs by reducing transshipments and improving supply chain traceability.
According to data from the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, the Atlantic Corridor is key to intermodal integration and European cohesion, providing competitive advantages to domestic and international operators.
Value Proposition: Multimodal Logistics as an Engine of Efficiency and Sustainability
Multimodal logistics allows companies to capitalise on the advantages of each transport mode, reduce their carbon footprint and adapt to regulatory requirements, such as Regulation (EU) No. 1315/2013 on the Trans-European Transport Network.
- Short sea shipping: An efficient alternative to road transport, particularly for shipments to/from the Canary Islands and Morocco.
- Emissions reduction: The use of rail and sea transport to minimise environmental impact.
- Flexibility: Adaptation to demand peaks and regulatory changes.
