CTP has handed over a new 100,000 sqm logistics centre in Hungary to Tesco. Built as part of a greenfield investment spanning 60 ha near Szigetszentmiklós, the state-of-the-art facility aims to enhance Tesco’s efficiency in serving Hungarian customers and optimise transportation logistics. The centre will fully serve Tesco stores nationwide starting in March 2025.
The nearly 1-kilometer-long logistics complex includes two cold storage halls with variable temperature settings, a dry goods hall, a truck wash equipped with a water recycling system, vehicle repair and forklift service facilities, a gas station, and electric vehicle chargers. By consolidating its storage operations into one centre, Tesco will streamline its supply chain processes and reduce emissions caused by transportation. As part of the investment, road development in the surrounding area has also been completed to ensure uninterrupted and efficient traffic flow for both the local population and the logistics centre.
The facility is powered by renewable energy, with 8,620 solar panels installed, providing a total capacity of 3.75 MW. The building has been awarded an ‘A’ energy rating and is expected to achieve BREEAM certification by the end of 2024. Additionally, the complex’s truck wash features a water recycling system, and an irrigation well has been installed to maintain green spaces without impacting the local drinking water supply.
We are very pleased to take possession of our new domestic logistics centre, which is a huge milestone in the history of Tesco in Hungary. The retail sector has undergone significant transformation in recent years, with home delivery services, innovation, and sustainability becoming increasingly important. With this environmentally conscious logistics centre, equipped with the most modern technologies, we are better prepared to meet new demands while making progress toward carbon neutrality by 2035.
