Scheduled LTL groupage and full-truck departures from Spain to northern Italy via the Ventimiglia crossing. Fashion, automotive parts and industrial machinery are our highest-volume verticals. Intra-EU — CMR only, no customs.
Italy is our busiest Mediterranean corridor after France — the Ventimiglia coastal crossing puts Barcelona within 2-3 day reach of the entire Po Valley industrial belt. No customs clearance since both are EU single market; paperwork is CMR, commercial invoice and packing list.
Three verticals carry most of this lane: fashion and textiles into the Milan/Lombardy retail clusters, automotive Tier 2 components into the Turin/Piedmont supplier parks, and industrial machinery plus ambient food into the Bologna/Verona distribution hubs.
Spain-side pickup from our Castellar del Valles hub. Italian deliveries into Milan, Turin, Verona, Bologna, Padova and Florence via our long-standing Italian distribution partners. One file, one dispatcher, documents closed on delivery.

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.
