Spain-Origin Export Logistics · Automotive
Automotive logistics from Spain
Spain is Europe's second-largest automotive producer. We move parts, sub-assemblies, battery cells, and CKD kits out of Spain for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers on scheduled LTL and lanes.
Why this sector ships with us
Automotive production on the Iberian peninsula — Volkswagen, SEAT, Renault, Ford, Stellantis, Mercedes, Nissan — creates constant Spain-origin freight flow to Germany, France, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary. Most of it is time-critical: a missed delivery at an OEM line costs far more than the freight itself.
We run scheduled lanes to every European automotive manufacturing cluster from our Castellar del Vallès (Barcelona) hub. Urgent LTL for same-week Tier 1 orders, a dedicated trailer for line-fed deliveries, and ADR capability in-house for battery cells, fluids, and flammable components.
The corridors that matter for automotive — Spain→Germany, Spain→Czechia, Spain→Slovakia, Spain→Hungary — are in our regular rotation, not one-off quotes. Dispatch in Castellar del Vallès knows which plants need which routing and which crossings.

Frequently asked
Can you meet JIT delivery windows?
Yes — on our regular lanes. Time windows below 24 hours generally require urgent LTL or a dedicated trailer with direct routing; we won't promise JIT on consolidated loads where cross-docking is involved.
Do you handle battery shipments?
Yes — lithium-ion cells and packs are within our standard ADR Class 9 capability. Class 1 explosives are not handled.
Are you an OEM-approved carrier?
Our fleet and drivers meet ADR, ISO 9001/14001/45001 and EU EORI requirements. Specific OEM qualification (e.g. a manufacturer-specific approved-carrier list) depends on your procurement setup — send us your OEM approval requirements and we'll confirm fit.
Can you do dedicated (exclusive) trucks?
Yes — dedicated means no consolidation and direct routing. Transit time improves but per-load cost is higher. Right choice for line-feed deliveries.
Business freight: scope and review
For companies shipping their own goods. We do not handle the following requests:
- Private household moves and personal effects
- Temperature-controlled freight
Special or non-standard business loads are reviewed individually. Send goods, dimensions, weight and any handling or documentation needs; availability and acceptance are confirmed after review.
