Spain is making progress in the modernisation of the Atlantic and Mediterranean Corridors, with a clear commitment by the Ministry of Transport to boost economic development, European integration and the decarbonisation of transport.<\/p>\n
With the goal of investing up to 27 billion euros for the deployment and improvement of these corridors until 2030, the focus has been on allocating more than 3 million euros in this year’s General State Budget for the expansion and improvement of the trans-European corridors.<\/p>\n
Within the framework of the Global Mobility Call 2023, emphasis was placed on the 360\u00ba Atlantic and Mediterranean Corridor.<\/strong> During this meeting, the Secretary of State for Transport, David Lucas, highlighted the strategic importance of these corridors for Spain’s economic and social growth, as well as for the reduction of emissions in transport. He also emphasised their fundamental role in strengthening European integration, boosting trade and tourism, and promoting regional cohesion in the European Union.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the government recognises the need for the active participation of the private sector to drive these corridors, as they will be the ones in charge of operating them. In this regard, the Secretary of State underlined the essential improvement of mobile infrastructure and nodal structures, as well as a change of mindset among key players in the sector. He stressed the importance of collaboration of all stakeholders and pointed out that infrastructure investments, support programmes and funding mechanisms at national and European level are crucial but not sufficient for the success of these corridors.<\/p>\n The Atlantic Corridor<\/strong>, a multimodal network connecting several European nations such as Portugal, Spain, France, Germany and Ireland, is an extensive rail route that crosses eleven Autonomous Communities in Spain. The Ministry has allocated an investment of 1,648 million euros in the 2023 General State Budget to extend and complete the Atlantic Railway Axis.<\/p>\n In parallel, the Mediterranean Corridor<\/strong> is presented as a strategic project for Spain’s connections with Europe, connecting several Spanish regions with Europe at standard gauge. To promote this key infrastructure, 1,695 million euros have been allocated in the 2023 Budget to finance railway actions in this corridor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you would like more information about dangerous goods transport or any of our services, please do not hesitate to contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spain is making progress in the modernisation of the Atlantic and Mediterranean Corridors, with a clear commitment on the part of the Ministry of Transport to promote economic development, European integration and the decarbonisation of transport. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":257930,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"La crisis de los conductores de mercanc\u00edas: el reto inminente del transporte<\/h1>\r\nLos transportistas de mercanc\u00edas tienen un papel clave, ya que son los encargados de garantizar el transporte de bienes y productos necesarios para mantener un correcto funcionamiento de las distintas cadenas de suministros.

La brecha existente entre los conductores que se jubilan y los transportistas nuevos que se incorporan en esta profesi\u00f3n sigue aumentando y se espera que esta situaci\u00f3n se triplique en toda Europa.

En respuesta, la Comisi\u00f3n Europea ha propuesto adelantar la edad m\u00ednima para obtener la licencia de conducir C para veh\u00edculos pesados a los 17 a\u00f1os, permitiendo que los j\u00f3venes conduzcan bajo supervisi\u00f3n hasta los 18 a\u00f1os. Aunque esta medida podr\u00eda ayudar en la actual crisis de falta de conductores, no ser\u00e1 suficiente para solucionar el problema por s\u00ed solo. Adem\u00e1s, en muchos pa\u00edses de la UE se requiere tener m\u00e1s de 21 a\u00f1os para conducir un cami\u00f3n, y en algunos casos incluso m\u00e1s de 24 a\u00f1os.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la titulaci\u00f3n requerida para convertirse en conductor o conductora de un tr\u00e1iler?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n
