With this fleet extension and its future plans, GTS Iberia aims to develop new flows from Spain and Portugal to the markets of the United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy, etc., creating a new network of suppliers and, in addition, providing support for logistics companies needing UK customs clearance.

The fleet extension is in line with the goal of the company to transfer large volumes of goods from road to rail, thus stimulating and supporting transport with zero direct emissions. During the next three years, GTS Rail plans to make additional investments of 70 million Euros, and will develop a recruitment program to hire 150 workers in the next four years.
