The standard, published last Tuesday, enables the transit of this type of large cargo transport, which is characterized by the union of a tractor truck with two semi -trailers hooked together by meansE Salta, Jujuy, Tucumán and Chubut and bridges whose bearing capacity is less than 75 tons.
The Yusen Logistic Argentina operator has already been working since last March with Bitrenes (which had been exceptionally authorized) between the terminal Río de la Plata of the port of Buenos Aires and the facilities of Toyota in the Buenos Aires town of Zárate.
“The step we already gave with the operation between the Puerto de Buenos Aires and Zárate It was fundamental to demonstrate that, through Bitrenes, we achieved greater efficiency, safety and sustainability. We improve security, sustainability and logistics competitiveness, ”he explained Carlos Marazzi, president of Yusen Logistics Argentina.
Indeed, the use of bitrennes, in this case, made up of a Tractor Scania and Semirremolques Vulcano With load capacity of up to 75 tons of auto parts divided into two containers- it allows to transport up to 70% more load loads, compared to a traditional truck. The reduction in the amount of trips decreases fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions up to 30%.
“These units achieve operational savings of up to 20%. In terms of spare parts, the brand guarantees availability greater than 97%, which decreases prolonged stop riskswhile the correct care of the tires extends their useful life and contributes to road safety. All these data arise from the development of the operation. This means that, with this tool, great efficiency in logistics can be achieved, ”continues the executive.
It should be added that, thanks to its design with articulated axes, Bitrenes better distribute weight, reduce the risk of overturn and improve stability in complex maneuvers. In addition, they have ABS and EBs brakes on all their axes, which shortens the braking distance and minimizes accidents.
“We have a very extensive country. This resolution helps the oil industry, the automaker, the countryside, mining and all activity. As long as there is no plan linked to trains, Bitrenes represent an excellent alternative, ”the president of Yusen Logistics Argentina completes.
San Luis, the province that opened the path of bitrenes trucks in Argentina
San Luis was a pioneer in the incorporation of Bitrenes to national transportation. The province enabled its circulation in 2016after investing on safe highways and specific signage, anticipating national regulations that were just consolidated years later. The bet responded to the need to lower costs, improve competitiveness and raise road safety.
Puntana experience worked as a model for the rest of the country. The Bitreneswith greater load capacity than traditional trucks, managed to reduce logistics costs up to 30% and optimize fuel consumption, accompanied by training of drivers and strict technical controls.
Finally, in August 2025, the Ministry of Economy officialized through Resolution 1196 the free movement of these vehicles throughout the national road network. With this measure, the individual permits and exclusive corridors ceased to be necessary, marking a milestone in the modernization of cargo transport in Argentina.
