Iberdrola and Disfrimur expanded their agreement to deploy charging points for electric trucks. Building on the experience from facilities that came online last March, Mercadona’s logistics partner operates in San Isidro, Alicante, and Sangonera la Verde, with plans for the Murcia base to roll out the technology across all its locations. The company owns a network of more than 160 ports nationwide, making the initiative widely scalable.
Specifically, the agreement provides for Disfrimur offices to host charging devices in Riba-roja, Sagunto (Valencia), Zaragoza, Ciempozuelos and Mercamadrid (Madrid), Guadix (Granada), Antequera (Malaga), Seville, Villadangos del Paramo (León), with additional sites in San Sadurni (Barcelona), Albacete and Alicante. The charging points will be accessible to the public around the clock, enabling energy supply not only for Disfrimur vehicles but also for heavy and light vehicles from other companies and private individuals.

Both companies described a staged rollout starting with 200 and 400 kilowatt power units, with Megawatt Charging System (MCS) chargers to follow. A 1,200 kW charging capability will shorten recharge times for electric trucks to about 45 minutes, approaching durations typical of a mandatory rest stop. This marks a pioneering charging infrastructure developed by Iberdrola in collaboration with a power electronics specialist. A joint development team is coordinating the production in Spain of the first commercial charger with these features. The project requires high voltage connections within the distribution network to support the rapid charging rates essential for freight electrification.

The agreement was formalized by Juan Sánchez, Disfrimur’s CEO, and a senior Iberdrola executive, underscoring the commitment to decarbonizing heavy transport and signaling substantial investments in charging infrastructure.
“When we started building charging infrastructure, the goal was to enable an electric truck to traverse Spain from north to south and from east to west, even with diesel as an option,” said Juan Sánchez.

Additionally, Iberdrola ensures that users can charge their electric vehicles with energy from renewable generation sources, backed by a guarantee of origin. The charging points appear in the Iberdrola General Recharge App, which allows geolocation of chargers, real-time status checks, reservations, and payments via mobile devices.
Under the leadership of Ignacio Sánchez Galán, Iberdrola has completed more than 60 deals involving infrastructure distribution with governments, institutions, companies, service stations, dealers, and electric vehicle manufacturers.

Baleària positions itself as a strategic ally for companies aiming to reduce their carbon footprint. The group supports the entire decarbonisation lifecycle, helping commercial and industrial customers meet environmental goals and play a central role in the energy transition. Disfrimur remains a private, family-owned Spanish company focused on transport and logistics. Its own fleet uses the latest technology to move a wide range of goods across Spain, including food and consumer products, with Mercadona as a primary client responsible for large parts of its logistics network.
