In this first year, freights will be made with convenience products, such as cereals and Pringles chips, destined for Great Britain and various points in Spain and Portugal.
Transfesa Logistics has started a new multimodal food traffic for the Kellogg’s company.
As of April 1st, national and international rail service has incorporated four direct routes between Spain-Portugal and Spain-Great Britain. They are joined by an additional route for goods’ transport by road. Both means of transportation in combination guarantee a complete door-to-door logistics operation with the highest degree of efficiency.
The initial collaboration between the two companies is set for the next 12 months, although the objective is to increase cargo volumes at a later stage.
In this first year, shipments will be of convenience products such as cereal and Pringles chips. On the one hand, four of these connexions will be from Great Britain to Spain and on the other, six from Spain to Great Britain. There will also be transport from Spain to Portugal.
The CEO of Transfesa Logistics, Bernd Hullerum, has expressed his satisfaction with this new collaboration. “We appreciate the trust placed by Kellogg’s in our operations and team. For us, this is one more step that strengthens the relationship with one of the most representative and important companies in this sector and we hope that it will continue to be very fruitful in the coming years ”. Hullerum has also highlighted that the incorporation of these connexions “reinforce the development of international corridors to countries such as Great Britain and Germany, in addition to promoting one of the most sustainable means, the railway, which helps reduce emissions since it emits nine times less CO2 than its equivalent in trucks ”.
These new traffics highlight the importance that the company attaches to combined services, with train and truck routes, to guarantee the best logistics alternative, according to the needs of each supply. They are also another example of the company’s magnitude in international multimodal railway lines, since it has the largest network in Europe, thanks to its strong alliance with DB Cargo. An average of 392 waggons pass through them each day of the year, serving a wide variety of customers and sectors.
