Santiago, Chile
• Santiago’s metropolitan region occupies an area of 15,403 km2
(2.0% of continental Chile)
• Population is 6,061,185 inhabitants (40.1% of the country)
• More than 10 million inhabitants are concentrated at less than
300 Km from Santiago (> 60% Chilean population)
• Chile’s highest concentration of population and percentage of
GDP is in Santiago. As a result, its growth rate is above the
national average.
• Main economic activities are: (1) business and finance
services; (2) manufacturing industry; (3) commerce, restaurants
and hotels. They represent more than 60% of GDP
• GDP per capita in Chile reached US$14,461 PPP in 2009
• IMF projects increases up to US$18,000 PPP in the year 2014

Overview of Freight Movement
in Santiago, Chile
• Road transport accounts for around 88% of national freight transport
• in 2007, close to 225 MMT (million metric tons) of freight were moved
– 57% corresponds to movement of national cargo
– 39% to cargo mobilized towards or from ports, and
– the remaining 4% to cargo destined for terrestrial foreign trade
• 60,770 MMT/km were mobilized, only considering movement within
national territory
• Regarding cargo transported by truck:
– 62% corresponds to national movement,
– 33% to maritime foreign trade (i.e., road transport to and from ports), and
– 5% to terrestrial foreign trade itself

Regulations and Restriction to
Truck Movement in Santiago
• The main negative externalities, produced by urban cargo
transportation in Santiago, can be classified by 5 types:
– Vehicular Congestion: because it is concerned with vehicles of a bigger
size than cars and circulate at a slower speed, especially in turns and
acceleration/deceleration cycles at intersections.
– Accidents: due to their size and weight, the accidents for this type of
vehicle are often serious if light vehicles are involved.
– Acoustic Contamination: because of the motors size and
characteristics.
– Air contamination: due to gas emission and particulate matter, produced
by Diesel engines.
– Pavement Destruction: due to the heavy weight of their chassis these
vehicles use for their operation, in comparison to cars or other light
vehicles

Regulations and Restriction to
Truck Movement in Santiago
• Current regulations for freight transport in the city of Santiago aim
fundamentally at the reduction of vehicular congestion and
environmental contamination.
• There are restrictions on:
– Circulation of freight vehicles during specific times, on specific
routes;
– On dimension and weight,
– Vehicle age and emission levels,
– Truck configuration and
– On parking; there are designated areas and times permitted for
loading and unloading

Regulations and Restriction to
Truck Movement in Santiago
PTUS (2001)
Measures
Cargo vehicles of more than 2 axles and or gross vehicle weight
exceeding 18 tons, cannot circulate inside the A. Vespucio ring between
07:30am – 10:00am and 6:00pm –8:30pm.
Trucks older than 16 years from the year 2004 must be prohibited from
entering the A. Vespucio ring.
Working machines such as forklifts and backhoe loaders cannot move
freely through urban roads in the MR unless they are performing their
normal operations. These machines must be transported by cargo trucks.

Conclusions: Transferability and Evaluation
of the Abertis Logistics Park in Santiago
• A logistics park like this acts as an instrument of territorial arrangement,
through the integration between the land and the city.
• The construction of storage technology and security systems have been
proven able to be replicable and transferrable from Spain to Chile.
• We think that this project is transferable; to the extent that the location
has good accessibility, connectivity, and proximity to the main cargo
terminals and populated centers.
– This requires a good location and good road infrastructure.
• Finally, since a logistics park is a long-term investment, for a company
such as Abertis or any other is critical to have economic, political and
jurisdictional stability wherever they invest.

Conclusions: Transferability and Evaluation
of the Abertis Logistics Park in Santiago
• Restrictions to truck movements inside the city, encourage a project like
this in which X-docking and consolidation of cargo in/out of the city can
be accomplished, thus reducing transportation costs
• Location in a business and industrial complex with many warehouses
nearby, creates opportunities for carriers to consolidate and/or balance
their loads when moving cargo in/out of the logistics park
• Economic growth and the development of the logistics sector are
important ingredient
• Finally, this project is in its initial steps; risk factors that can materialize
are low demand for this high quality warehousing services. However:
– From the 20,000 m2 of first stage inaugurated last September. 12,500 m2 are
already rented to two logistics operators: APL Logistics and Ceva Logistics
– They plan to inaugurate the second stage of 20,000 m2 in the middle of 2011
