Truck and Brand Competition held on Thursday 16 October in the Maintenance Area of Hall 10 at IFEMA during Logistics &amp; Automation 2025. This is the third time that the winner has won this competition.<\/p>\n<p>The professional skills test was once again organised by Jos\u00e9 Luis Torres and Ricardo J. Hern\u00e1ndez, who also collaborate in the area adjacent to the competition and demonstration space, where most of the forklift truck manufacturers and distributors participating in this fair are grouped together. The day before, in the same space, a forklift truck handling course was given to students from the ALAPAR Foundation, thanks to the collaboration of a teacher\/trainer from Kirleo (GAM Group).<\/p>\n<p>Six teams with their respective forklift operators participated in this edition of the competition, sponsored by Partner Pack, which also provided customised packaging for the test: Carmen Rivero with a TCM forklift (Cedecar), Eduardo Garc\u00eda with EP (AESA), Sergio Clavero with Mitsubishi (Ficara), Bryan Steven with Hyster (GAM), Daniel Maldonado with Yale (GAM) and Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Soto with Bobcat (Lusilectra).<\/p>\n<p>The participants performed a test of skill, precision and safety, moving a load, closely watched by the test jury, which measured the time taken to complete the task and other parameters that all forklift operators must meet in the performance of their work. A large audience watched attentively and applauded the participants.<\/p>\n<p>The test was so close between the top two positions that a final tiebreaker had to be held between Eduardo Garc\u00eda (EP, AESA) and Sergio Clavero (Mitsubishi, Ficara).<\/p>\n<p>The jury that evaluated the test was composed of Ester S\u00e1nchez, Director of Training and Content at CEL; Pilar M\u00aa Mariju\u00e1n, Manager of ICIL in Madrid; F\u00e9lix Est\u00e9banez, former President of Medea; and Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Gonz\u00e1lez, Director of Training at Formalift, as President of the jury.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the competition, Sergio Clavero received the cup and diploma certifying him as the winner, and Jorge Garc\u00eda Orejana, regional director for Iberia at TCM (Mitsubishi Logisnext Group), received the diploma corresponding to the brand.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Partner Pack, the companies A-Safe and Ribawood also collaborated in this 7th Forklift Operators and Brands Competition within the framework of Logistics &amp; Automation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aeec571 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"aeec571\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/easyfairsassets.com\/sites\/84\/2025\/10\/EL-16-octubre-648-768x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-206561\" alt=\"E&amp;L-16-octubre-648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easyfairsassets.com\/sites\/84\/2025\/10\/EL-16-octubre-648-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/easyfairsassets.com\/sites\/84\/2025\/10\/EL-16-octubre-648-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/easyfairsassets.com\/sites\/84\/2025\/10\/EL-16-octubre-648-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/easyfairsassets.com\/sites\/84\/2025\/10\/EL-16-octubre-648-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/easyfairsassets.com\/sites\/84\/2025\/10\/EL-16-octubre-648.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-379e76a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"379e76a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5362b5b\" data-id=\"5362b5b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08e580d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"08e580d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Share<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-707fd25 elementor-share-buttons--view-icon elementor-share-buttons--shape-circle elementor-share-buttons--color-custom elementor-share-buttons--skin-minimal elementor-grid-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-share-buttons\" data-id=\"707fd25\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"share-buttons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_email\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Share on email\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_twitter\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Share on twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_linkedin\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Share on linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_whatsapp\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Share on whatsapp\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\" style=\"text-align: justify;
