Construction of what has been described as Spain’s largest electric-truck charging hub is advancing at Mercavalencia, in the heart of Valencia’s logistics district. The 12,500-square-metre facility is near the city’s port and the Fuente de San Luis rail terminal, connecting it to basic freight routes. Prologis and PragmaCharge announced the project in June 2026 amid wider investment in Valencian logistics infrastructure, including port modernization and expanded warehousing and distribution facilities.
Charging Capacity for 48 Trucks
Global logistics company Prologis is leading the project, which PragmaCharge will operate. Designed for electric heavy goods vehicles, it is planned to provide 48 simultaneous charging positions once complete. Its first phase, with 14 high-power chargers, went live on 29 September 2026, taking the project from construction into operation. The second phase is scheduled to bring the hub to full capacity by early 2027.
The staged rollout began with the June announcement and reached its first operational key stage in September. The full 48-position facility is planned for the next phase. It is intended to serve heavy freight traffic around Valencia, including vehicles travelling between the port and rail terminal, as well as those serving the region’s logistics facilities.
€5 Million Investment and Open Access
The Mercavalencia charging center represents a €5 million investment. It is planned to be open to all users, including those who are not Prologis clients, although drivers will need to pass through Mercavalencia’s security controls. The project is intended to support logistics operations locally and nationally, including heavy vehicles serving the port and rail-linked freight network.
The hub is part of a broader build-out of infrastructure for commercial electric vehicles. Industry reports put electric trucks at 4% of newly registered heavy commercial vehicles in Germany in the final quarter of 2025. Another market estimate puts their share of new European truck registrations at 4.8% in the first half of 2026, up from 3.6% a year earlier. The figures point to a market still developing, as depot and corridor charging infrastructure expands alongside fleet adoption.
Moya Hub Honrubia on the A-3 offers another example of infrastructure emerging along the Madrid-to-Valencia corridor. The separate facility has 22 DC charging spaces, including two for electric trucks, with charging power ranging from 90 to 400 kW. It also has four 11-kW AC points. These specifications belong to the Honrubia site, not the Mercavalencia project. Together, the facilities show the range of charging infrastructure being developed for commercial and regional travel.
Context and Outlook
Valencia’s role as a logistics hub, bolstered by port modernization and investment in warehousing and distribution, is driving demand for lower-emission freight infrastructure. The Prologis-PragmaCharge project is part of that shift: its first phase is operational, while the planned expansion would bring the facility to 48 simultaneous charging positions by early 2027. As logistics companies work to electrify fleets, charging capacity at freight hubs and major transport corridors will be basic to supporting that transition.
