- innovative solutions and strategies related to logistics
- logistic and transport system strategies and operational guidelines for the Scandria project
The Jyväskylä Regional Development Company Jykes Ltd is a Finnish participant in the Innoroad Park project. The intermodal transport terminal planned for Innoroad Park is a part of the Scandria project. The first stage of the intermodal transport terminal involves researching the terminal’s need potential and charting the necessary infrastructure and various players. The second stage is connected to the transport of biofuel. The potential for the intermodal transport of biofuels will be investigated, as well as the terminal’s possibilities for functioning as a part of the control and processing system of North European biofuel transport. The end result will be a business plan, operational plan and need plan for the area in question, and the potential for an intermodal transport terminal located in Central Finland
