PSA Intermodal Italy will take the lead role in a new company managing the intermodal terminal at Interporto Padova after signing a final agreement with Logtainer to create PSA Padova, following a tender award secured in December 2025, according to PSA Italy.
The deal gives PSA Intermodal Italy, PSA Italy’s intermodal operations arm, a majority stake and operational responsibility in PSA Padova. Interporto Padova will remain a shareholder, keeping the terminal tied to the regional logistics system.
PSA Padova is being set up to strengthen Padua’s position on European freight and intermodal corridors under PSA’s Node to Network (N2N) strategy. The terminal will operate with an open, multi-user focus and connect inland terminals, seaports and international transport networks. The partners expect the terminal’s infrastructure and links to the Trans-European Transport Networks to support freight flows across northeastern Italy.
The project will combine PSA’s port, inland terminal and supply chain network with Logtainer’s multimodal transport expertise in Italy, with rail, road and port links intended to improve efficiency and reduce inland logistics emissions.
