Spain-origin LTL corridor · Spain → Hungary
Direct road freight from Spain to Budapest and Debrecen, bridging Western Europe and the Central-Eastern corridor.
The Hungarian lane is shaped by the automotive cluster — Audi Győr, Mercedes Kecskemét, Suzuki Esztergom, the new BMW plant at Debrecen and the CATL battery campus next door. We handle the JIT discipline these plants require, including ADR on qualifying classes for battery-cell and automotive-fluid flows.

Hungary is squarely in the European automotive supply-chain map — a heavy share of our weekly volume is Tier-supplier cargo.
Tier 1/2 inbound to Audi Győr, Mercedes Kecskemét and the wider Hungarian OEM footprint.
Machined parts, electronics sub-assemblies and industrial components to Budapest-area plants.
Lubricants, coatings and production chemistry moving under ADR with compliant packaging and paperwork.
Hungary sits on the same transit backbone we use for our flagship Romania service, which means natural overlap with our Central-Europe lanes.

We collect palletized LTL freight from consolidation points across Spain. Every shipment is routed through our Castellar del Vallès hub for optimized groupage loading before departure.
Barcelona · Main consolidation hub
Primary consolidation hub at Castellar del Vallès — all corridors depart from here. Barcelona's ZAL port and El Prat airport cargo provide multimodal connectivity for palletized LTL groupage.
Valencia · Mediterranean port gateway
Mediterranean port gateway — Port of Valencia handles ceramic, automotive, and fresh produce exports. Pickup from Valencia's ZAL logistics zone feeds directly into our Barcelona consolidation schedule.
Seville · Agricultural export hub
Southern Spain's agricultural powerhouse — olive oil, citrus, and marble exports from Seville, Málaga, and Almería. Our partner carriers collect from the Guadalquivir valley for consolidation at Barcelona.
Madrid · Central intermodal hub
Spain's central intermodal hub — Coslada and San Fernando de Henares host Europe's largest dry port cluster. Express pickup connects to our Barcelona consolidation via the A-2 motorway corridor.
Bilbao · Industrial manufacturing corridor
Industrial manufacturing corridor — Port of Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz anchor steel, machine-tool, and automotive component exports. Freight from the Basque Country joins our groupage network via the AP-2/AP-7 axis.
Zaragoza · PLAZA logistics platform
Home to PLAZA — Europe's largest logistics platform. Zaragoza sits at the crossroads of the A-2 (Barcelona–Madrid) and AP-68 (Bilbao) corridors, making it an ideal intermediate consolidation point for LTL freight.
Murcia · Fresh produce export hub
Spain's horticultural heartland — fresh produce, plastics, and furniture exports from the Murcia-Cartagena corridor. Temperature-controlled pickup available for ADR and perishable consignments joining our groupage departures.
Vigo · Automotive & seafood exports
Northwestern Spain's automotive and seafood export powerhouse — Stellantis Vigo and the Port of Vigo drive freight volume. Our partner carriers consolidate at Vigo and A Coruña for eastbound transit via the AP-9/A-2 corridor to Barcelona.
