Marcotran strengthens its intermodal offering with 30 new Schmitz Cargobull semi-trailers
Alberto Marco, Purchasing Manager at Marcotran, underlines the importance of the new acquisition: "With these new rail-loadable P400-coded semi-trailers in our fleet, we can optimise our routes, reduce our operating costs and improve the traceability of goods. Technology and data play a key role in our growth strategy, and the partnership with Schmitz Cargobull allows us to access the most advanced market solutions and consolidate our position as a benchmark in intermodal transport."
Fran Benedi, Area Sales Manager at Schmitz Cargobull for Aragón and Soria, emphasises the importance of this collaboration: "We are delighted that Marcotran is relying on Schmitz Cargobull for the first time to renew its fleet. The new semi-trailers offer a unique combination of quality, reliability and technology that will enable Marcotran to optimise its operations and improve its competitiveness in an increasingly demanding market."

In addition, the trailers are equipped with ferry equipment and TIR certification, which facilitates transport with various modes of transport and shortens handling times. The galvanised chassis with a 10-year warranty ensures a long service life and increased corrosion resistance.
"The installation of the TPMS and the TrailerConnect® telematics service package, which provides detailed information on the condition of the semi-trailers and triggers an alarm in the event of incidents, underlines Marcotran's commitment to safety and efficiency," says Javier Espliego, Key Account Manager at Schmitz Cargobull.
The vehicles are financed by the Schmitz Cargobull subsidiary Cargobull Finance and are covered by full service contracts.
The Europe-wide Schmitz Cargobull Service Partner network was an important part of the purchase for the Aragonese company. Around 1,400 authorised workshops throughout Europe, 105 of them in Spain alone, offer services for semi-trailers, tyres and telematics systems and have an extensive stock of spare parts.
