The Junta de Andalucía has announced a historic investment of €160 million in logistics infrastructure, reaffirming its commitment to multimodal transport and the development of strategic nodes at San Roque and Antequera. This push positions Andalusia as the new logistics hub for southern Europe, connecting the mainland with the Canary Islands, Morocco and the broader Mediterranean.
Context: The New Logistics Challenge in Southern Europe
In an environment where supply chains demand resilience and flexibility, Andalusia is emerging as a key piece of the puzzle for logistics operators seeking efficient access to international markets. According to the Consejería de Fomento, the investment prioritises the modernisation of rail, port and road infrastructure.
Value Proposition: An Andalusian Logistics Platform Built for the Future
The commitment to multimodal transport will enable cost optimisation, reduced transit times and a higher standard of logistics sustainability. Logistics Express is positioning itself as a strategic partner for companies requiring comprehensive solutions between the mainland, the Canary Islands and North Africa, aligned with regulations such as the Sustainable Mobility Plan promoted by the Ministry of Transport.
