Road freight Calabria → Spain
Calabria is the toe of the Italian boot: Catanzaro sits about 1,950 km from our Castellar del Vallès hub, at the far end of the A2/A3 autostrada run south of Napoli. The distance places the region well beyond the corridor's central band — SAVA collects the region's Spain-bound freight as return-leg backhaul reaching Spain with transit by delivery zone, arranged on request and subject to available backhaul space.

Postal codes covered
Export freight from Calabria is led by the region's own food sector — citrus, olive oil and processed specialities such as 'nduja — which generates outbound ingredient and packaging flows alongside consumer goods for the wider distribution networks. Palletised dry stock consolidates for Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia, with pricing quoted on request for this southern region.
As an intra-EU lane, only CMR documentation applies — no customs clearance, no duties. Capacity is ambient/dry LTL — no temperature-controlled freight — and full-trailer volumes are quoted case by case.
Catanzaro, Reggio Calabria, Cosenza and Lamezia Terme are the region's collection points along the A2/A3 spine — the southernmost collection axis on the Italy corridor, feeding the Spain-bound return leg.
