Introduction

This logistics gateway is very import-export focused. Additionally, the Danube region has the role of the supplier for the local industry, making it an attractive location. The automotive industry is overrepresented in this area, using almost half of all the logistics property. Along freeways A3, A92 and A93 the Danube region is well connected: Between the towns of Deggendorf and Landshut the automotive industry has located. The industry cluster can be found in the freight village Regensburg.


Availability of sites

Although this is a very rural area the scarcity of logistics property can be seen even here. In the city of Regensburg a shortage of industrial sites make matters even worse. Towns like Deggendorf or Straubing benefit from partly new site reserves.
