The terminal is planned to be built within one year. The duration of the joint project "Nova Poshta" and the EBRD will be seven years.
According to Pyotr Fokov, financial director of the Nova Poshta group of companies, the company decided to use credit funds to increase the efficiency of operations, in particular, by automating and introducing modern technologies that require the creation of modern infrastructure.

In the future, energy efficiency measures are also planned at the terminal itself, for example, installation of solar panels, LED lighting and others.
