New Partnership in Spain for Finished Vehicle Logistics Players

GEFCO Group has joined forces with multimodal logistics player BERGÉ to create what they are calling “the leading company in the finished vehicle logistics market in Spain”. The new equally-owned company, BERGÉ GEFCO, will be formed by the finished vehicle logistics divisions of both companies in Spain, through GEFCO Spain FVL activities and BERGE Automotive Logistics (BAL). The operation is subject to European Commission approval.

The finished vehicle market in Spain is one of the world’s largest: 3 million vehicles are produced annually, 2.4 million exported and 1.2 million commercialised.

BERGÉ GEFCO says it will provide a significant increase in transport and storage capacity and geographical scope. Customers will benefit from 3.4 million m2 storage in compounds and ports and the capacity to manage and transport 1.4 million cars annually through a fleet of more than 700 vehicle trucks and 100 rail wagons. In addition, the new company will offer a wide variety of complementary services at its 10 logistic centres throughout Spain and its 40,000 m2 of workshop space including repairs, paint work, car washing, delivery preparations and quality and finishing controls.
