DB Schenker Logistics has built a large new terminal at the new business park in Rudna, near Prague. It now houses the Corporate Offices of Schenker spol. s r.o., the DB Schenker Logistics arm in the Czech Republic.

The new mobility hub covers a total area of 90,800 square meters. It has an 8,000 square meter hall with 92 cargo doors, including six for jumbo semitrailers. Some 270 employees currently work at the 4,700 square meter administrative building. "Because the new facility is so well connected to transportation routes, it makes transshipment much faster and more effective," says Karl Nutzinger, the Member of the Board of Management at Schenker AG responsible for land transportation at DB Schenker Logistics. "We are also proud to have built a facility that is in line with state-of-the-art safety and environmental standards."

The new facility has its own bonded warehouse and special capacity for hazardous materials. It also includes an in-house photovoltaic gas station and a solar-powered system for heating water on the premises. Smart lighting systems, a particularly efficient HVAC system, and a liquefied natural gas station for CNG vehicles also make the facility sustainable.
