Road freight Grand Est → Spain
Grand Est is the north-eastern shoulder of the corridor, and SAVA moves its Spain-bound freight as return-load capacity on the scheduled Spain→France lane. Loads collected around Strasbourg, Mulhouse and Nancy — about 1,140 km from our Castellar del Vallès (Barcelona) consolidation hub — ride the corridor's return leg back to Spain, arranged on request and subject to available backhaul space. Transit depends on the delivery zone, and we give it for the exact postcode you deliver to when you ask for a quote.

Postal codes covered
The region's Spain-bound flows are built on cross-border industry: the Mulhouse automotive pole and its supplier ring, machine-building and metalworking along the Moselle, and the Champagne houses around Reims shipping ambient wine at volume. Palletised LTL groupage consolidates these export loads for delivery to Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia.
Because both France and Spain are EU member states, the lane is intra-EU: CMR documentation only, no customs clearance or duties. Capacity is ambient/dry LTL — we do not run temperature-controlled freight on this corridor — and full-trailer volumes are quoted case by case.
Strasbourg, Reims, Metz, Nancy, Mulhouse and Troyes are the region's collection points across its two freight axes — the Rhine side around Strasbourg and Mulhouse and the Champagne–Lorraine side — all feeding the Spain-bound return leg.

Frequently asked
How long does delivery from Grand Est to Spain take?
Loads from Strasbourg, Mulhouse or Nancy reach Barcelona, Madrid or Valencia over roughly 1,140 km, carried as return-leg backhaul on the scheduled Spain–France corridor. Transit depends on the delivery zone, and we give it for the exact postcode you deliver to when you ask for a quote. Capacity is arranged on request and depends on available space on the return leg; tracking runs from collection to final delivery.
Can you collect ambient wine from the Champagne network?
Yes — ambient wine and spirits from the Reims and wider Champagne houses are a core Spain-bound flow. We consolidate palletised, non-temperature-controlled goods only; refrigerated freight is not available on this corridor, and EU free-circulation stock travels on standard CMR.
Is there a fixed reverse schedule from Grand Est to Spain?
No — France→Spain moves as return-load capacity on the scheduled Spain→France departures, not an independent reverse timetable. We confirm space on the next suitable return leg when you book, then consolidate your palletised LTL freight through the Castellar del Vallès hub.
