SETRAM incorporates electric vehicles into the operations of Barcelona port terminal

Barcelona, November 21st 2016 – SETRAM, Multimodal logistics operator specialized in automotive logistics, has included four electric vehicles in the operations of its vehicle terminal in the Port of Barcelona. It is a pioneer innovation – bringing significant CO2 level reduction – in the port logistics solutions for the automotive industry. Economic savings and pollution reduction were the drivers for searching alternative vehicle-propulsion energy sources in the activities of this operator, specialized in automotive logistics. The first studies were carried out back in 2010; however, technology and car adaptation were still in an initial development phase at that point. In the summer of 2015, SETRAM carried out a new feasibility study, which conclusions were favourable to the use of electric vehicles in its port terminal. This initiative joined the on-going SETRAM’s initiative to implement the requirements of ISO 14001. In this way, the project of integrating electric vehicles became a reality. The project also involved the installation of fast charging poles to meet vehicle productivity requirements. Four Peugeot iPartner commercial vehicles, rented from Alphabet, will provide support to SETRAM’s operations as well as complementary added-value services. The next stage of this initiative will consist in increasing the number of SETRAM’s electric vehicles in the terminal of Port of Barcelona, benefiting of the subsidies foreseen for the next fiscal period. MOVEA 2 in 2017 and the evolution of electric cars The MOVEA 2 Plan will enter force on January 1st 2017, which will aid alternative-fueled vehicles with a total amount of 17 million EUR. It will include little changes as compared with the current period; however, one of them will...

SETRAM has improved transport traceability with a tablet application drivers are already using

SETRAM has improved transport traceability with a tablet application drivers are already using

Barcelona. June 11th, 2015. – SETRAM, logistics multimodal transport operator, has developed an application that improves the traceability of its transports by increasing the quality of both communication and management information. Gustavo Chaos, ICT Director of SETRAM, explains how the application works: “The driver has direct communication with each and every department of SETRAM through the tablet. All the information managed by the driver is automatically integrated into SETRAM’s TMS. Sent by the TMS, the work orders with the details of the service to be provided are received in the tablet. The driver confirms each operation on the fly as soon as it is completed, while attaching digitized documentation such as transport delivery notes. A car carrier truck driver usually unloads vehicles at different delivery points, sometimes hundreds of kilometers away from each other. Control over all the trip parameters and especially route optimization allow for the reduction of the vehicle delivery time at destination, improving the service and reducing the transportation costs. This application allows the driver to scan the chassis number instead of having to type it manually (17 digits). Additionally, the system has the capacity to digitize the delivery notes and send them to the office in real time.” It also includes a section for quality management, where any possible incidents in the loading and unloading operations are handled in real time.SETRAM,   This new SETRAM software allows the position tracking of the goods being transported with full traceability at all times. Moreover, it gathers each truck’s position, fuel consumption, kilometers traveled and actual driving times, obtained from the digital tachograph. It will soon incorporate centralized management of...

Precisamente este último ha hecho un resumen de las actividades llevadas a cabo por la Confederación, que coinciden en gran medida con las realizadas por la CETM. En este sentido, Díaz ha dejado claro que CETM Portavehículos debe intentar estar en todos los foros posibles en los que se traten temas de interés que afecten a este sector de actividad, muchos de los cuales están en consonancia con aquellos problemas que se encuentran hoy en día encima de la mesa del sector, como la devolución del céntimo sanitario, la modificación de la normativa sobre pesos y dimensiones, la reforma fiscal, etc. También ha señalado la necesidad de potenciar la relación con ANFAC “para seguir colaborando en aquellos tremas que nos unen”. Durante la Asamblea se ha...
