Emilia-Romagna is the corridor's industrial and food heartland: Bologna sits about 1,210 km from our Castellar del Vallès hub via the A1 and the A21/A26 toward the coast. SAVA collects the region's Spain-bound freight and routes it onto the corridor's return leg, reaching Spain in 3-4 days, arranged on request and subject to available backhaul space.

The region combines three heavyweight verticals: the Motor Valley around Modena and Bologna (automotive and motorsport suppliers), the packaging-machine capital on the Parma–Bologna axis (industrial machinery), and one of Europe's densest food-processing belts — Parmigiano, ambient cured meats and balsamic. Palletised LTL groupage consolidates these loads for Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia.
As both countries are EU members, the lane is intra-EU: CMR only, no customs or duties. Capacity is ambient/dry LTL — no temperature-controlled freight — and full-trailer volumes are quoted case by case.
Bologna, Modena, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Piacenza and Rimini are the region's collection points along the Via Emilia — the freight spine feeding the Spain-bound return leg within the 3-4 days band.

Spain-bound loads in Emilia-Romagna are collected from the Bologna Interporto and the Piacenza logistics hub, fed onto the A1/A21 corridor toward the coast and the west. The Parma food-valley distribution centre and the Emilia logistics corridor provide cross-dock consolidation for palletised LTL consignments before they join the return leg to our Castellar del Vallès hub.

Yes — outbound components and sub-assemblies from the Modena–Bologna Motor Valley and its Tier-1 ring are a standard Spain-bound flow. We coordinate first-mile dock bookings with the consignor and consolidate the palletised loads through the Castellar del Vallès hub.
Loads from Bologna reach Barcelona, Madrid or Valencia in 3-4 days over roughly 1,210 km via the A1 and the coastal route, carried as return-leg backhaul on the scheduled Spain–Italy corridor. Capacity is arranged on request and tracked end to end.
No — there is no standalone reverse timetable. Italy→Spain moves as return-load capacity on the scheduled Spain→Italy departures; we confirm space on the next suitable return leg when you book and consolidate ambient/dry food and machinery loads through the Castellar del Vallès hub.
