Last Tuesday, February 19, the “railway motorway”<\/strong> was launched (tracks destined to the transport of goods trucks by a fixed line). It goes between Barcelona and Europe<\/strong>. An agreement reached by Renfe and Viia<\/strong>, a subsidiary of SNCF (the French railway company) makes this possible. The highway connects Can Tun\u00eds terminal, in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith Bettembourg<\/a>, in Luxembourg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Can Tun\u00eds<\/strong> terminal in the Catalan capital stands out for its location<\/strong> (direct connection to the port of Barcelona), for its size<\/strong> (occupies 456,000 square meters) and for its facilities<\/strong> (it has a total of 11 tracks. Capable of loading trains of 750 meters and with a UIC gauge, the European track size).<\/p>\n This new method to transport goods from Spain, consists not on inserting<\/strong> the container with goods in the train<\/strong> but inserting the<\/strong> whole truck except for the cabin and the driver<\/strong>. And then transporting it through a high-speed railway line to points closer to its destination. Each convoy has the capacity to move a total of 1,500 tons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The multimodal service is foreseen to move about 20,000 semi-trailers, per year<\/strong>, through these routes and thus reduce their road journey. At the same time, apart from facilitating merchandise trade<\/strong>, it seeks to reduce road distances thus reducing CO2 emissions. It is estimated to reduce emissions by 23,000 tons, only on this line<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This transport format is new for Spain, but in Europe it has been used for a long time. In 2018 throughout Europe 106,615 were transported between semi-trailers and containers, saving about 80,000 tons of CO2 emissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 Si te ha gustado el art\u00edculo, gracias por compartirlo!<\/span><\/em> The choice of Barcelona<\/strong><\/h3>\n
