Germany→Spain capacity is the return leg of the scheduled Spain→Germany corridor we run from Castellar del Vallès (Barcelona). Rather than a standalone timetable, it is backhaul LTL groupage offered on request and held until a homebound truck has space. We pick up across the Rhine-Main, Munich–Stuttgart and Rhineland industrial areas, reconsolidate at the Castellar cross-dock, and deliver into Barcelona, Madrid or Valencia. The lane sits wholly inside the EU customs union, so a single CMR consignment note covers it — no clearance, no broker.
Germany's Spain-bound freight is built on its OEM and supplier belts: the Munich and Stuttgart automotive corridor (BMW, Daimler, Bosch, Porsche), the Wolfsburg–Hannover Volkswagen cluster, and the chemical and machinery base around Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region. Cologne anchors the Rhine logistics axis and Hamburg's port channels Northern European cargo southward. These industrial heartlands are steady sources of return-leg pallets for trucks routing back via Strasbourg and La Jonquera.
Plan on 4–6 days in transit for groupage. The band is symmetric with our forward Spain→Germany corridor — road distance is the same in either direction (around 1,450 km via Strasbourg and La Jonquera).
Send us the pickup point, pallet count and weight via the quote form. Because reverse loads ride the return leg of a scheduled Spain→Germany departure, capacity is offered on request and confirmed once we have return-leg space — it is not a fixed reverse timetable.
No. Germany and Spain are both in the EU customs union, so this is intra-EU transport moving on a CMR consignment note only — no import/export clearance, no customs broker.
One pallet or around 500 kg. Below that, parcel carriers are usually cheaper; above a few pallets we consolidate it as part-load groupage on the return leg.
No. SAVA is ambient road freight only — we do not operate reefer or temperature-controlled equipment on any lane, including return legs.
Automotive and machinery parts, industrial and electrical equipment, and general manufactured goods from the Rhine-Main, Baden-Württemberg and Bavarian belts make up most of it. Everything travels as ambient LTL groupage — palletised dry freight consolidated onto the returning trailer.
Send us your pickup point, pallet count and weight — we'll check return-leg space and come back with a price.
