The company will be responsible, until 2022, for international vehicle traffic operations originating in Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm, and Mosel in Germany, and Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Republic.
Volkswagen Konzernlogistik GmbH & Co OHG, the logistics division of Volkswagen Group, together with Transfesa Logistics, has renewed car transport services by rail from four points in Europe to Ciempozuelos (Madrid) and Tarragona. The company will be responsible, until 2022, for international vehicle traffic operations originating in Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm, and Mosel in Germany, and Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Republic.
Transfesa Logistics will also continue to be in charge of these traffics for the Volkswagen Group from Martorell to the south of Germany and those that go from the factory they have in Navarra to the south of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. In all of them, the services are carried out with insulated car transporter waggons in two different lengths.
Among the key factors that have been taken into account to once again use this type of rail transport with Transfesa Logistics, the competitive economic proposal stands out, as well as the contribution to the environment that is achieved when opting for the train, since it greatly reduces CO2 emissions.
In this regard, it should be noted that, according to data from
December 2019, traffic registered from Martorell to southern
Germany accounted for 33.45 tonnes of CO2, an amount much lower than the 120 tonnes that these trips would have produced by highway.
For Transfesa Logistics, the continuity of this contract strengthens the relationship it has with one of its main clients with whom it has worked closely for years to achieve an efficient and sustainable transport.
Working towards sustainable mobility
Along with the fleet of car transporter waggons that Transfesa Logistics will use in these rail connexions, 100 new wagons, the most modern in the market with great load capacity and efficiency, will be incorporated into international transport routes in the coming months. These units emit 36 tonnes less CO2 than their truck counterparts and represent another step forward for the company in its commitment to the construction of sustainable supply chains.
