At present we have three terminals that handle this type of traffic.

-An import-oriented terminal, with facilities prepared for the pre-release of vehicles (PDI), protective mesh, workshops and extensive parking areas and both of these operate with the main scheduled lines for horizontal cargo devoted to the transport of vehicles.

-Dedicated railway facilities. Three lines of more than 500 m for the reception and delivery of vehicles from other parts of Spain to as far away as Germany and for the redistribution of imported vehicles to the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. Vehicle transportation is one of the fastest increasing sectors in rail transport, exceeding 500 convoys for the first time in 2023.

In terms of the makes, we could mention: HYUNDAI, KIA, SANGYONG, OPEL, VLKSWAGEN, AUDI and SKODA as the most significant.
