Calsina Carré

We have recently added 70 vans and 40 curtainside trailers, from our supplier Lecitrailer, to our fleet in order to reinforce our intermodal services. We currently have a fleet of more than 600 tractor units and more than 800 semi-trailers. With this expansion, we are consolidating our strategic commitment to intermodal transport and our development in the Maghreb.

One of our main commitments is responsibility towards the environment and operating in a sustainable way, which is why we have invested in specialized semi-trailers to carry out intermodal transport, the P400. We also use rail transport and the intermodal system located in the south of France. Thanks to these sustainable transport measures, during the past year, we have saved more than 2 million kilos of CO2 in the atmosphere.

The 40 P400 Huckepack curtainsider semi-trailersare provided with supportive reinforcements on the chassis so that they can easily be hooked up, lifted and placed on rail wagons. They also have protections and mooring systems for ferries.

The 70 dry van trailers are very resistant and can also be transported thanks to their mooring system. This addition provides a greater presence in the Maghreb, a market to which we are fully committed and in which we are among the top 3 transport companies in the industry. In the Maghreb, we operate with this type of van in order to increase the security of our merchandise and ensure that no theft can take place. The dry van is impenetrable, unlike the curtainsider.

One of our strategic commitments is to logistics development in the Maghreb. We have more than 10 years of experience in the Moroccan market, are currently in the top 5 international carriers in Morocco and we register more than 10,000 shipments per year through Algeciras.

We have our own facilities in Tangier with offices, fleet parking and mechanical workshop. We also have warehousing in collaboration with our partners.

We have a dedicated fleet with box-type semi-trailers for greater protection of the merchandise. However, if required by the client requires, we also offer the possibility of curtainsider transport.

To consolidate this strategic commitment and our expertise in the North African territory, we have a team of more than 100 local professionals with market know-how.

This week, we presented our first 33 metre and 70-tonne capacity duotrailer and we are one of the pioneer companies in promoting these in Catalonia. This combination allows us to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 25% per journey, as well as offering significant savings in logistics costs in transport.

Calsina Carré’s commitment to the future is o put technology and innovation at the service of the environment. Last year we renewed our fleet by incorporating new vans and ecological tyres, and currently, we also operate intermodality offering rail and maritime transport. Continuing along this same line, we now present our first trailer low-emission trailer duo.

With this new addition and our collaboration with the Lear Corporation, we are consolidating our commitment to sustainable transport on our routes to the Maghreb, a market in which we are expanding fully and which currently accounts for 40% of the group’s global operations.

We have a special permit granted by the Spanish General Directorate of Transit (DGT) to operate this type of vehicle on the road since the duo trailer is not currently authorised for general use in Spain. This research project is carried out in collaboration with the Spanish Ministry of Transport and the DGT and will culminate in a report to demonstrate its efficiency, safety and sustainability so that their use in Spain can be authorised in future.

The Scandinavian countries already allow duo trailerto operate freely, having been regulated and legalized due to the positive results obtained in previous studies. Spain is one of the most advanced European countries for this type of trial and probably one of the next to obtain this regulation.
