Looking for reliable trucks for sale in Spain?

From our headquarters in the Netherlands, we supply Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO, Scania and other leading European brands to customers throughout Spain, from Madrid and Barcelona to Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza and Bilbao.

More Than a Supplier: Your Sparring Partner from A to Z
Buying a truck in another EU country can be very attractive because of the wider choice and faster availability. It does involve more than choosing a brand. In southern Spain, summer temperatures rise above 40°C, and routes over the Pyrenees and through the mountain passes of the interior bring steep climbs and snow in winter. More and more cities also have low emission zones. The engine, emission class, cooling, body and paperwork all make the difference. That is why we start by understanding your operation: what you transport, which routes you drive and how intensively your vehicles are used. Based on that, we advise you on the configuration that gives you the best value over the long term.
Once you have made your choice, we take care of the rest. That includes custom bodybuilding, technical modifications, the documents you need to register the truck in Spain and delivery by road to your location. You have one point of contact for the entire process, so you can focus on your business while we handle the details. Our stock of European A-brand trucks changes continuously, which means we can often offer short lead times.
Which Trucks Does Spain Need? Solutions per Sector
Spain has one of the largest road freight sectors in the European Union and is a major exporter of fresh produce. Logistics, agriculture, construction, urban distribution and municipal services all create strong demand for commercial vehicles. Below you'll find the truck types our customers in Spain ask for most often.
Road Haulage and Logistics: International Routes and Major Ports
Spanish hauliers carry large volumes of goods to France, Germany, the Benelux and beyond. The ports of Valencia, Algeciras and Barcelona are among the busiest in the Mediterranean. Long international routes call for fuel-efficient tractor units with comfortable cabins that help attract and retain drivers. Examples include the Scania R-series, MAN TGX, Mercedes-Benz Actros and IVECO S-Way. For port and container transport, we supply tractor units configured for heavy loads and frequent short trips.
Agriculture and Food Export: The Cold Chain from Spain to Europe
Spain is known as the vegetable garden of Europe. Greenhouses in Almería, fruit and vegetables from Murcia, citrus from Valencia and berries from Huelva are exported daily by refrigerated truck. Andalusia is also one of the world's largest olive oil producers, and Aragón and Catalonia have a large meat industry. These sectors need refrigerated tractor units and rigid refrigerated trucks, livestock carriers, and tankers for olive oil and other liquid foods. We supply the chassis and have the right body built to your specifications.
Construction and Infrastructure: Housing, Rail and Renewable Energy
New housing developments, rail and road projects and a strong expansion of solar and wind farms create steady demand for construction vehicles. These projects need 8x4 and 6x4 tippers such as the Mercedes-Benz Arocs, MAN TGS and IVECO X-Way or T-Way. They also need concrete mixers, bulk cement tankers, low-loaders for excavators and wind turbine components, and truck-mounted cranes. We configure these vehicles for intensive use on building sites, in summer heat and on hilly routes.
Urban Distribution and Low Emission Zones
Cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville and Bilbao have introduced low emission zones (zonas de bajas emisiones). Access often depends on the DGT environmental label. For distribution to shops, supermarkets, restaurants and e-commerce customers, we supply medium-duty trucks such as the IVECO Eurocargo, MAN TGM and Mercedes-Benz Atego. We help you choose Euro VI models that meet local access rules and suit narrow city centre streets.
Municipal Services, Waste Management and Quarries
Municipalities and service companies need refuse trucks, road sweepers, water tankers and service vehicles. Quarries and mining operations, such as copper mining in Andalusia, need heavy tippers, water bowsers and fuel trucks. We supply robust chassis and have the right body built to your specifications, whether for daily city routes or demanding sites.
Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO, Scania & More
Our range covers the leading European commercial vehicle brands:
- Mercedes-Benz: the Actros, Arocs, Atego and off-road Zetros, known for their durability.
