XPO Logistics: Morocco is a strategic market experiencing rapid expansion

 XPO Logistics has tripled its revenue in Morocco in the last six years and exceeded 30,000 shipments between Europe and North Africa by 2024. This milestone consolidates its position as a benchmark operator in cross-border transport and international logistics. Thus, the company is responding to Morocco’s growing industrial dynamism and consolidation as a key global hub. To meet this demand, XPO Logistics has implemented new strategic routes connecting the Port of Tangier with Algeciras and Motril, facilitating more efficient and sustainable operations. It has also reinforced its capacity with a key 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. Since starting operations in Morocco in 2011, XPO Logistics has steadily strengthened its regional presence. The current investment strengthens its value proposition as a specialised service provider for key sectors such as automotive, industrial, construction and retail, among others. 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).Massimo Marsili, Managing Director Southern Europe and Morocco, XPO Logistics, commented: “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.”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, consolidating this connection as a strategic pillar of its international operations. This new line also represents an estimated 10% reduction in CO₂ emissions, reinforcing the company’s commitment to efficient and sustainable logistics. With this expansion, XPO Logistics reaffirms its commitment to offering cutting-edge logistics solutions, ready to respond to its customers’ challenges in a constantly changing environment. The company continues to invest in capacity, technology, and talent to provide its customers with an agile and responsive logistics service aligned with the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability. Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Post&Parcel Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Post&Parcel
