Urban Mobility Solutions in Valencia

Valencia city generates Spain's third-largest urban delivery volume and serves as the distribution hub for southeastern Spain. The city's ZBE covers the historic centre, and Las Fallas (March, 7 days) represents one of Spain's most logistically disruptive annual events — central Valencia is completely closed to vehicles, requiring advance stock positioning at periurban warehouses. Operators who rely on standard route planning without event-aware scheduling face complete service failure during the closure period.

For FMCG operators, Mercavalencia's 01:00–09:00 window and the city's role as the primary distribution point for the citrus export supply chain from the surrounding Horta region create concentrated morning distribution demand across the V-30 and CV-35 access corridors. With 8Move, operators can address these challenges through event-aware stock pre-positioning, market access scheduling, and ZBE-compliant routing across the Valencia metro area.
