The rolling highway service between Valencia and Madrid is one step closer to starting operations. The first testing phase started over the weekend, with Tramesa, one of the headliners of the project, underlining that it will not be an easy task.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The deployment of the rolling highway between Valencia and Madrid was announced in the summer of 2023<\/a>. An official start of operation was expected for the beginning of this year, but things seem to be slightly delayed. Its main goal will be to transfer semi-trailers, including non-cranable, from the road to the rail. For example, the focus will be on cargo that reaches the port of Valencia from Italy by sea and usually continues its journey by trucks.<\/p>\n

The project involves various companies, not only coming from Spain. TransItalia, an Italian logistics company, provided the P400 semi-trailers that will be used in the service. Tramesa, a Spanish logistics company, financed the purchase of T4000 wagons and will pay for a gantry crane which will be placed in the port of Valencia. Spanish public institutions are also involved, with the country\u2019s Ministry of Transport labelled the project as strategic and Adif, Spain\u2019s infrastructure manager, adapting the profile of the line to enable it for semi-trailer traffic.<\/p>\n
