The multimodal freight terminals must be located in or adjacent to maritime ports, inland ports, airports of the core and extended core network or classified as rail-road terminal or terminal along the inland waterways of the trans-European transport network, as listed in Annex II of the revised TEN-T Regulation.

Studies and / or works on roads and multimodal freight terminals related to:

• pre-identified road links as stipulated in Sections 1 and 2 of Part III of the Annex to the CEF Regulation, in particular cross-border links on the core network;
• components of the core road network located in Member States which do not have a land border with another Member State;
• construction or upgrade of multi-modal freight terminals, including rail-road terminals and terminals along inland waterways as listed in Annex II to the revised TEN-T Regulation. This may include connecting or siding tracks, power connections, electrification and adaptations for reduction of power use, vehicle and container waiting areas, adaptations for handling 740 meter long trains, clean transhipment equipment based on a zero-emission fuel (e.g. electricity, hydrogen), specific equipment for rolling motorways and the transportation of semi-trailers by rail, upgrades of equipment that enable transhipment of new intermodal loading units, ICT equipment and applications improving interoperability, use of digital transport data or terminal handling such as photogates and automatic check-in and check-out equipment.

Road access and connections to the terminals will not be supported, except for projects located in Member States with no land border with another Member State.

Works projects may include on-site renewable energy generation, as a synergetic element in accordance with Section 10.6, such as photovoltaic power plants, wind turbines etc. that is primarily used for example for activities in the terminal. Such synergetic elements must improve the socio-economic, climate or environmental benefits of the project and may not exceed 20% of the total eligible costs of the project.
