GEFCO Russia delivered Talgo train from Spain to Uzbekistan in September

GEFCO Group, a global expert in solutions for multimodal supply chains, continues to cooperate with a Spanish company, Talgo, a national leader and one of the leadline players on the market of high-speed train manufacture, and has delivered the forth train for now in September 2021. GEFCO Group has been cooperating with Talgo for more than 7 years. During this period the supplies from Spain have been performed to Russia at first, and then to Uzbekistan.

In July, GEFCO Russia, together with GEFCO Spain, arranged shipment of a high-speed train manufactured by Talgo and consisting of 15 carriages and 2 locomotives under the order of the Uzbek Railways. GEFCO Group provided a complete logistics solution for a rolling stock in 3PL format with an extended list of services required for movement of products in the whole supply chain. Transportation was performed by sea, as well as by road and by railway. The cargo was delivered on lowboys from the TALGO plant to the port of Bilbao. The operational team in Spain arranged loading on a roll-on-roll-off ferry, after that the train was delivered by sea to the terminal of “Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg”. There GEFCO Russia arranged unloading of the train from the ship with involvement of two Liebherr tandem cranes. The sea freight from Saint-Petersburg took 8 days, and handling operations, including stock joining operations, took 2.5 days. After installation, the train was sent on passage by rail through Russia and Kazakhstan and was delivered to the customer in Uzbekistan on July 9.

Valeria Seledkova, GEFCO Russia General Director, comments:

GEFCO Russia has been cooperating with Talgo since 2014. Such a long-term partnership is a confirmation of the customer's high trust and capabilities of GEFCO Group to offer competitive and efficient logistics solutions meeting the rapidly changing modern realities. This project on delivery of high-speed trains is a clear illustration of the high level competence in transportation of oversized cargos.

For the period of cooperation with Talgo GEFCO Group has transported about 10 trains in total from Bilbao to Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. In July of this year the third train was successfully delivered to the customer n Uzbekistan, and in the middle of September one more stock arrived.
