 The Quadrante Europa Freight Village, located at intersection between the Brenner (north-south) and Serenissima (east-west) turnpikes and the corresponding railroad lines, occupies an area of 2,500,000 square meters. This infrastructure, conceived and managed by the Consorzio Zai with detailed plan approved by the Veneto Region, is directly connected to the Verona-Villafranca airport.
It is an ideal meeting point for merchandise shipped by road, rail or air, whether nationally or internationally. In particular it handles international freight coming from or going to north central Europe through the Brenner Pass and freight traffic to and from Spain and France and the east European nations.

 More than 5 million tons of goods by rail and more than 18 millions tons by road passed through the Freight Village in 2003.
In the future the Freight Village will be connected to the sea and river canal system than joins up Milan-Cremona-Mantua-Legnago-Rovigo-Po di Levante.
Quadrante Europa takes concrete form in an integrated system of logistics services that are at highest level in terms of efficiency and economics together with intermodals ervices (semitrailers, containers, swap bodies). This particular system can be properly considered as "Park of Logistic Activities" where more than 100 companies with 4.000 employees are settled in.
Verona's Freight Village performs approximately 30% of all combined Italian traffic and more than 50% of combined international Italian traffic with service concentrating its services on complete trains

 The Freight Village of Verona can be considered as the only logistic infrastructure supporting the production that links 3 main operator categories: production activities (the loaders), forwarding agents and logistic operators.
It interconnects different shipping models (rail, road, air), concentrates traffic flows, gives access to European transport corridors.
It is completely cabled with a telematic network, offers services such as data-, audio- and video-transmission and access to international databank. It also provides high quality logistic services.
Freight Village also works in the network, through ASSOINTERPORTI with nationally important Italian Freight Villages and through EUROPLATFORMS with those having European-wide importance.
Ten fundamental "service groups" can be delineated in the Freight Village: an office and human-services district; the railroad zone; the customs district; a forwarding agent center; a road haulage contractor agent center; a logistics center; vehicle services; General Warehouses; a sports and recreational park zone.
In the southern part of the Freight Village the "Agricultural and Food Center" is under construction on a 600.000 square meters area; this structure will be Italy's largest logistic platform for collecting, distributing and the wholesale market of agro-alimentary products with international relevance.
