Electric expansion at Valenciaport
The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) has expanded its fleet of electric vehicles and added new charging points for both employees and visitors.
The port now runs ten electric cars, a van and two motorbikes and has plans to add a further four hybrid cars, in line with the Valenciaport 2030 net-zero initiative. A charger with two outlets has been installed for visitors in addition to four chargers with two outlets each in the employees’ car park.
Valenciaport is collaborating in initiatives such as the use of cleaner fuels in collaboration with the company Baleària and the use of hydrogen under the European H2Ports project, which has enabled the installation of a hydrogen plant in the Xità quay.
Progress is also being made in the installation of photovoltaic plants in Gandia Shed 4 or in the Príncipe Felipe quay of the Port of Valencia, which will soon be joined by the project in the Valencia Terminal Europa area.
Work also continues on a wind energy project, the construction of two electrical substations in the Port of Valencia, the changes in the sodium vapour lighting for LEDs in the València and Sagunto precincts, the installation of new environmental control booths, and railway infrastructure to promote intermodality and connection between the ports and main corridors.
