GEXA: HVO and social sustainability with Eurowag

GEXA TRUCK SERVICE: integrating social responsibility and HVO adoption into international transport

Founded in 1982, GEXA has evolved from a small cooperative into a company with 65 employees and 105 vehicles. Under CEO Iñaki Gangoso Álvarez, the company combines environmental sustainability — including HVO100 adoption — with active social policies for employee well-being. Eurowag serves as a strategic partner for cost optimization and alternative fuel access.

Market context

The European transport sector faces concurrent pressures of cost reduction, regulatory uncertainty, and energy transition. For mid-sized operators like GEXA with diversified portfolios spanning steel, automotive, construction, consumer goods, agricultural bulk, and fuels, maintaining international margins requires operational discipline and strategic fuel management partnerships.

Operational challenge

CEO Gangoso summarizes 43 years in one word: adaptation. H1 2025 confirmed the approach with volume and revenue growth of ~7.5% year-on-year, though margins remained tight in international transport. The company continuously diversifies, abandons less profitable lines, and adjusts to changing demand.

Eurowag’s role

GEXA relies on Eurowag to optimize international refueling, using services for diesel, AdBlue, truck washes, and increasingly for HVO alternative fuel access. Gangoso values Eurowag’s role as a strategic partner in cost optimization and alternative fuel access at key European corridor points.

Measurable impact

HVO100 already accounts for ~5% of fuel use. Gangoso: “It’s a simple alternative, compatible with our engines, that reduces the environmental footprint without altering refueling operations.” The company incentivizes drivers for efficient driving through monthly truck data analysis with achievable financial rewards.

Strategic outlook

GEXA advocates for European corridors where alternative fuels can be accessed without logistical detours. Social sustainability is equally prioritized: alternating weekend shifts, routes closer to drivers’ homes, and balanced hours. “If our team is happy, the service will be better. Sustainability also starts on the social side.”
