The German group Rhenus expands logistical corridors between Morocco and Europe.
The German group Rhenus is poised to strengthen its presence in the road transport market between Morocco and Europe by deploying new logistics corridors linking the Kingdom to several European markets. This initiative reflects the growing demand for faster, more flexible transportation solutions tailored to the exchanges across the Mediterranean.
This expansion comes on the heels of the results achieved by the group through its partnership with the Moroccan company CCCM, which has developed over the years into a platform for transport services and the shipment of goods to European markets.
According to data shared by the specialized platform “Transport Professionnel,” the joint activity between the two partners has seen significant growth in recent years. By 2025, approximately 6,880 shipments were processed, marking an increase of 223% compared to 2019.
The volume of goods transported has also experienced substantial growth, rising by nearly 593% during the same period to reach around 25,375 tons.
For Javier Jiménez, a member of Rhenus’s road transport committee, the experience gained with their Moroccan partner has demonstrated the capability of the established model to ensure regular, fast, and reliable connections between Morocco and Europe. This performance paves the way for its expansion to new destinations.
Spain currently serves as the main artery of the network, with a significant portion of operations passing through Barcelona and Algeciras. Transport times generally range between 48 and 72 hours: goods destined for Tangier typically arrive within two days, while shipments to Casablanca take about three days.
The setup also allows companies to utilize groupage solutions, which are particularly suitable for small and medium volumes. Operators can thus ship their goods without bearing the cost of a full truck, offering greater flexibility for businesses whose needs fluctuate based on volume.
In the next phase, Rhenus plans to establish new consolidation points for goods in several European countries in preparation for launching regular routes connecting Morocco to France, Italy, and Turkey. The new network is expected to be fully operational by January 1, 2027.
These new corridors will target several economic sectors, including automotive, textiles and clothing, machinery and equipment, agri-food, agricultural products, chemicals, and energy.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Moreno, the general director of CCCM, emphasizes that the ten years of cooperation between the two companies provide a solid foundation for further developing their activities and expanding their logistical offerings. This evolution should build on the accumulated experience as well as the network of relationships developed between both shores of the Mediterranean.
As part of preparations for this new phase, the city of Tangier hosted a meeting bringing together nearly 80 clients and partners from Europe and North Africa. Discussions focused on the evolution of supply chains, companies’ needs, and new growth opportunities.
Rhenus’s expansion comes at a time when Morocco is enhancing its role as a logistics and industrial platform between Europe and African markets. This momentum benefits from the development of the Kingdom’s port and industrial infrastructure, particularly in the north, where Tangier Med has emerged as a key hub for trade and supply chains between Morocco and Europe.
