CGDIS plans a €110 million logistics hub in Mersch by 2030

Luxembourg’s emergency services are preparing a major infrastructure shift. RTL reports that CGDIS and the Interior Ministry have presented plans for a new Centre d’Appui Logistique et Technique in Mersch, scheduled for completion by the end of 2030.

The site is meant to centralise logistics, technical workshops, vehicle maintenance and equipment storage across more than 18,000 square metres. CGDIS argues that Mersch’s central location will allow faster deployment and better coordination across the country.

The project is also a lesson drawn from recent crises. Interior Minister Léon Gloden linked the centre to national resilience, arguing that crisis response requires not only plans but also the equipment and logistics to execute them.

The price tag is about €110 million. According to RTL, the financing is split equally between the European Investment Bank and Spuerkeess, each contributing €55 million. The model is described as a first for a public project in Luxembourg.

The practical test will come after 2030: whether centralising technical capacity actually shortens vehicle downtime, improves operational readiness and gives municipalities stronger support during floods, storms, pandemics or other emergencies.
