RTL Car Terminal in Novoshahtinsk

The official start of a new car terminal first stage took place in Novoshahtinsk on 25, July 2008.

RTL GROUP created a new car terminal in Novoshahtinsk, thus starting the development of the Southern direction deliveries to Russia. "Yug Terminal Service" Company was created for the project realization and build up works.

To make the customs procedure more efficient in March, 2008 Customs Control Department Warehouse “Novoteh”, situated at a 4 km distance to the terminal, was re-subordinated to Rostov auto-mobile post of Rostov Customs, the Southern Customs Administration. The volume of Customs Control Department makes 80 trucks. Exploitation of new IT-technologies will allow carrying out customs clearance within 24 hours.

Creation of this terminal allows the car producers to reduce expenses due to the opportunity of using deep sea Ukrainian ports, short distance from the terminal to Russian-Ukrainian board and non-overload of customs posts at this direction.

At the present moment a contract for logistics servicing of General Motors is signed with Algai Company. Customs clearance of these cars will be carried out by RTL GROUP.

The 2nd stage of the terminal was started by RTL GROUP at the end of the last year.
