The Spanish Business Organization for Logistics and Transport ( UNO ) held a working breakfast with the Minister of Housing, Transport and Infrastructure of the Community of Madrid, Jorge Rodrigo , within the framework of World Logistics Day.

 

The president of UNO, Francisco Aranda , highlighted the importance of the Community of Madrid as "Spain's logistics engine" and asked the Regional Minister "to continue working to support companies that establish themselves in the region." Aranda proposed the development of a strategic plan to promote Madrid as Europe's leading logistics platform, leveraging its equidistant position between continents and the current trend of industrial relocation.

 

The Community of Madrid, said the president of UNO, Francisco Aranda, “is the logistics engine of Spain.”

 

Regarding road transport, Aranda emphasized the need to promote training, intermodality , and the 44-tonne category as drivers of competitiveness. "These areas of focus are essential for developing a sustainable, smart, and efficient road transport system," he stressed.

 

Companies have also requested streamlined administrative procedures for opening new logistics centers and the modernization of the customs services system at Barajas Airport. "We must improve coordination and review current procedures to adapt them to the needs of the 21st century," Aranda added.

 

UNO has demonstrated its commitment to smart mobility and sustainability at the DUM. "Moving towards decarbonization is one of our biggest challenges," Aranda stated, calling for "harmonized supra-municipal regulations and ordinances across all municipalities."

 

Companies in the sector have emphasized their commitment to technology as a tool for efficiency and sustainability. "We need European funds to be managed as soon as possible to facilitate this digital transition," Aranda concluded.

 

For his part, Councillor Rodrigo announced the creation of a Logistics Agency for the Community of Madrid to "boost the competitiveness of Madrid's logistics system ." The new agency will unify procedures, centralize the management of transport centers, and facilitate the sector's development.
