en.Wedoany.com Reported - Prologis and PragmaCharge have started construction of a 12,500-square-meter electric truck charging center in Mercavalencia, Spain. Once fully operational, the facility will support simultaneous charging for 48 electric heavy-duty vehicles.
The project is being developed in two phases. The first phase will deploy 14 high-power charging points, scheduled to begin operations in the third quarter of 2026. The second phase will expand the charging points to 48, with the entire project expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2027.
The facility will integrate dedicated vehicle charging zones, a 4-megawatt secure grid connection, and PragmaCharge's dynamic charging management software, serving both dedicated fleets and public charging needs for heavy-duty transport.
Located near the Port of Valencia, this new charging center aims to accelerate the electrification of heavy-duty transport fleets in this major Spanish logistics hub, introducing charging infrastructure at strategic points along local, regional, and long-distance transport routes. The project is developed by Prologis, which owns the infrastructure, while PragmaCharge leases and operates the center as part of its electric truck-as-a-service offering, which already has signed customers in the region.
Anil Srivastava, CEO and Co-Founder of PragmaCharge, stated: "This project is a milestone for the electrification of heavy-duty transport in Europe. Upon commissioning, we expect this to be the largest electric truck charging center in Spain. Once completed, it will become one of the most significant electric heavy-duty vehicle facilities in Europe, combining scale, location, and operational capability to meet the real-world needs of fleets."
Melchert Duijve, Vice President of Energy Solutions at Prologis Europe, emphasized: "Fleet electrification can only advance at scale if charging infrastructure is built in the right locations, with sufficient energy capacity, and an operating model that fits the real needs of transport companies. This project brings together all these elements: a prime logistics market, a strategic location near the port, and infrastructure specifically designed for electric heavy-duty transport. Furthermore, it reflects how energy access is increasingly becoming a decisive factor for supply chain operations and the development of the logistics real estate sector."
