The track will be inaugurated this week, with trucks carrying Nissan and Renault cars to Sweden.

The rail system will also transport truck chassis, dumpers and wheel loaders to the Port of Gothenburg.

Port of Gothenburg CE Magnus Kårestedt said: "Being able to travel straight to the quayside at the car terminal by rail allows Swedish companies to reach their export or import markets directly without transhipment at a port on the continent."

Logent Ports & Terminals is one the important export ports for vehicles in Sweden. The port offers PDI services to cars and deals with loading and unloading, in addition to parking and storage.

The terminal offers direct services to Europe, North America, the Middle East and India.
