València, 18 December 2024.- On the occasion of the reactivation of the Port of Valencia rail motorway, Juan Carlos Arocas, managing director Iberia of TransItalia, Jesús Calvo, CEO of Tramesa, and Mar Chao, president of the Port Authority of Valencia, visited the terminal to witness the first operation of the motorway after the reconstruction of the tracks.

The combined transport terminal of the Port of València – capable of loading and unloading lorry semi-trailers between road and rail – can now operate at 100% thanks to the repair in record time of the railway infrastructures after the passage of the cut-off low.

In this sense, the mobilisation of an extraordinary investment of 184.6 million euros to repair and rebuild the railway infrastructures of València by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has allowed the service to be restored days ahead of schedule.

Thanks to this, the loading and unloading of lorry semi-trailers between the roadway and the railway track of the first railway motorway on the Peninsula is fully operational as of today and, at the beginning of 2025, it will start running four weekly services.

This infrastructure allows lorry trailers to travel from Italy to Madrid – and vice versa – by transferring at the Valencian port area, thus saving 16,000 tonnes/year of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
