XPO Logistics has announced that it exceeded 30,000 shipments between Europe and North Africa in 2024.
To meet this demand, XPO Logistics has implemented new routes connecting the Port of Tangier with Algeciras and Motril.
It has also reinforced its capacity via investment in 60 new container trailers specially designed to facilitate the intermodal transport of 20, 40 and 50-foot units, and reduce environmental impact.
The new fleet is equipped with GPS geolocation systems, ensuring real-time tracking of goods.
These container trailers allow a 50% increase in transport capacity, with over 6,000 additional movements expected per year.
In addition, the company already operates with duotrailers on the Strait of Gibraltar route, with a monthly volume of 400 crossings (200 in each direction).
As part of this strategy, XPO Logistics expects that between 35% and 40% of its crossings between Europe and Morocco will be made through the Port of Motril by 2025 which will also represent an estimated 10% reduction in CO₂ emissions.
Massimo Marsili, managing director for Southern Europe and Morocco at XPO Logistics, said: “The expansion of our operations in Morocco – with more than 30,000 shipments as of 2024 and new investments – reflects our commitment to increasingly efficient, innovative and sustainable cross-border logistics.
“Morocco is a strategic market experiencing rapid expansion, and we want to lead that development with solutions that are agile, scalable, efficient and focused on the practical needs of our customers.”
