TecPlata S.A., (TecPlata) International Container Terminal Services, Inc.‘s (ICTSI) business unit in Buenos Aires, Argentina and operator of the container terminal in the Port of La Plata, has received its first bi-train truck operated by Yusen Logistics.
This bi-train operation is a logistics landmark for Argentina, integrating new land transport technology into the port ecosystem.
The bi-train, a type of transport truck featuring two semi-trailers connected by a central axle, is an innovation in the logistics chain. It enables the transport of significantly more cargo in a single trip, up to 70 per cent more than a traditional truck, at lower operational costs and with significantly reduced environmental impact.
This vehicle configuration, authorised under strict regulations, optimises long-distance cargo transportation by enhancing efficiency, safety and sustainability.
The bi-train operation also features direct highway access and the necessary infrastructure to receive such specialised units without negatively affecting operational flow.
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.
