Logistic Park VGP Arad.
Location: Arad
VGP Park Arad is located in an ideal location in western Romania, adjacent to the A1 motorway and only 50 km from the Hungarian border. Its strategic location at the intersection of vital European roads – the A1 motorway, E671 (north-south axis) and E68 (east-west axis) – makes Arad the most important road junction in the west of the country and an essential component of Pan-European Transport Corridor IV.
This connectivity to the modern European road network and its proximity to the western border are major advantages. They strongly support regional development and attract a constant flow of investors, transforming Arad into the main road and rail gateway to Romania.
