Spain’s road freight market showed resilience in 2024 with a 2.65% tonne-kilometre increase. Spain represents approximately 14.5% of EU road freight activity, but the market is highly fragmented with ~120,000 active companies. A driver shortage and rising operational costs — especially fuel and insurance — continue to pressure margins. By 2026, the market is expected to expand by 3.2%.
Ibertinsa competes in niche segments requiring exceptional reliability: road feeder services where air cargo timelines are non-negotiable, pharmaceutical transport governed by GDP certification, and high-value goods demanding robust security. CEO Miguel Quintana: “The key lies in finding market niches with fewer competitors, where a commitment to excellent-quality service is valued.” The fleet includes mega trucks, refrigerated vehicles, rollerbed trailers, and security-equipped trucks averaging three years of age.
Eurowag has become a key partner for Ibertinsa on cost management, especially in fuel management. For a company operating specialized international transport across Iberia, Germany, Benelux, and France, consistent fuel cost transparency and control across multiple markets is an operational necessity.
Technology supports traceability, driver and cargo safety, vehicle monitoring, driving behavior evaluation, and early technical issue detection. The company uses AI for efficiency improvement and digital CMR. Sustainability is integrated through transport optimization, carbon footprint measurement, solar panels, biofuels, HVO, and double-trailer trucks.
Quintana frames sustainability broadly: “When we talk about sustainability, we need to encompass environmental, economic, and social factors. The costs arising from these initiatives should be distributed across the entire transportation value chain.” Ibertinsa demonstrates how specialization and service excellence create durable competitive positions.
