Cepsa and Redexis have started operating their third refueling station for natural gas vehicles (NGV), located in Trujillo. This inauguration is part of the strategic agreement announced in 2019, by which both companies committed to create the largest network of gas stations in Spain.
Redexis has made an investment of nearly one million euros to carry out the construction of this facility, which supplies both compressed natural gas (CNG) for light vehicles and liquefied natural gas (LNG) for heavy-duty transport. For both, the refuelling time is between 3 and 6 minutes, depending on vehicle type.
The facility is located in Trujillo, a strategic location for the transport of goods through which more than 2,500 heavy vehicles circulate daily. It is connected to Badajoz and Madrid by the A-5 highway, to Cáceres by the A-58 highway and to Plasencia by the EX-208 highway. It is also a communications hub linking Portugal and Spain, and opens the exit route for Portuguese transport to the rest of Europe, connecting Madrid and Lisbon.
In the first few months of 2021, both companies plan to start up another four gas stations in some of the main national transport corridors; specifically, they will be located at Cepsa Service Stations in the provinces of Madrid (A-4), Cuenca (A-3), Jaén (A-4) and Salamanca (A-62).
Santiago Ruiz, director of the Cepsa Service Station Network, highlighted: “We are continuing to advance in the development of the largest gas mobility network in Spain with the implementation of gas stations in strategic locations for the mobility of our country. The diversification of our energy solutions offering for light and heavy transport is part of our contribution to the energy transition.”
For his part, Javier Migoya, director of B2B at Redexis, said: “From Redexis and together with Cepsa, we remain committed to the creation of the largest network of gas stations in Spain, building and developing the necessary infrastructure to promote alternative fuels in our country that promote a more sustainable, economical and environmentally friendly mobility.”
