Poland is in the advanced stages of developing its most significant infrastructure endeavor, the Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK). This project aims to consolidate various transport mediums, including air, road, and rail operations, into a single cohesive hub. With land acquisition and excavations already in progress, the CPK's final location is slated for approval soon.
The initiative's broader vision includes a detailed strategy on how these transport modes will be integrated, with special attention being given to rail freight, focusing on its transport model and the planning of intermodal transport stations.

While the majority of the CPK railway infrastructure will cater to high-speed passenger services, provisions are being made to accommodate freight trains. Plans are underway to develop a rail freight terminal in proximity to the airport, facilitating cargo transportation. This terminal will be designed not only to serve the airport but also to provide support for freight trains awaiting their turn on CPK railway tracks. Furthermore, the strategic placement of intermodal terminals along the high-speed rail network indicates CPK's commitment to integrating rail freight efficiently within the broader transport landscape.

To ensure a smooth integration of multiple transport modes, the CPK will adopt the TMT freight transport model, which, encompassing rail, road, air, and maritime transport, represents Poland's first comprehensive tool for analyzing freight traffic. The TMT model's primary goal is to provide a clear understanding of various supply chains, assessing the competitiveness and handling of freight. This understanding will guide the development of rail infrastructure, ensuring that it caters effectively to both freight traffic and intermodal train requirements.
