ICTSI-owned TecPlata, the operator of the container terminal in Argentina’s Port of La Plata, received its first bi-train truck, operated by Yusen Logistics, on May 20.
This bi-train operation is a logistics landmark for Argentina, integrating new land transport technology into the port ecosystem.
The bi-train, a kind of transport truck with double semi-trailers connected by a central axle, is an innovation in the logistics chain that enables the transport of significantly more cargo in a single trip – up to 70% more than a traditional truck – at lower operational costs and with significantly reduced environmental impact.
This vehicle configuration, authorized under strict regulations, optimizes long-distance cargo transportation by enhancing efficiency, safety and sustainability.
“The arrival of bi-train trucks at TecPlata is an important step toward more efficient and sustainable logistics. We celebrate this first operation with Yusen Logistics, who trusted us as a key link in strengthening their service network,” stated Juan Pablo Trujillo, CEO of TecPlata.
This initiative is part of a broader effort by TecPlata to consolidate an intelligent logistics hub in the southern Greater Buenos Aires area, connecting producers, exporters and importers to global markets within global standards for quality, innovation and environmental responsibility.
