Fleet Management Solutions in Valencia

Valencia region combines Spain's largest citrus export supply chain (45% of Europe's orange and clementine imports) with the Port of Valencia — Spain's busiest container port at 5.4 million TEUs. The region's agricultural logistics calendar is dominated by the citrus harvest season (October–March), when cold-chain vehicle demand peaks and export documentation requirements for EU and third-country borders intensify. Without precise temperature logging and export documentation workflows, operators risk consignment rejections that cannot be recovered mid-season.

For FMCG operators, the Mercavalencia wholesale market serves as the distribution hub for southeastern Spain, and the Valencia metropolitan area's ZBE implementation covers the historic city centre with annual expansion plans. 8Move is designed to help operators address these challenges — from cold chain certification tracking and export documentation support to ZBE-compliant routing and port drayage scheduling.
