Non-EU Road Transport — Road Freight Outside the European Union

Alongside our operations within the European Union, we can also assess road freight projects that involve at least one country outside the EU — for example between the EU and Turkey, the Western Balkans or the Republic of Moldova. It is a growth direction and an available capability, coordinated according to the requirements of each route and partner availability.

What is non-EU road transport?

Non-EU road transport refers to road freight projects that involve at least one country outside the European Union — for example between the EU and Turkey, the Western Balkans, the Republic of Moldova or Ukraine.

Key point: it is a road transport operation. It does not include customs services, customs representation, maritime, air or multimodal transport — and it is not a global logistics network. The feasibility of each route depends on the corridor, permits and operational conditions.

Typical use cases

Examples of corridors involving countries outside the EU (illustrative examples; availability depends on the corridor and operational conditions, not an exhaustive list):

EU ↔ Turkey
EU ↔ Western Balkans
EU ↔ Republic of Moldova
EU ↔ Ukraine
EU ↔ Caucasus
EU ↔ North Africa

Operational considerations

Transport involving countries outside the EU entails, at a general level, several factors we consider when assessing each request:

  • Border crossings — corridors leaving the EU involve specific border points.
  • Transit requirements — some routes may involve transit through intermediate countries.
  • Route planning — choosing the corridor according to the goods and operational conditions.
  • Documentation requirements — the documentation required for the transport, depending on the corridor.
  • Permit constraints — permit availability may vary by corridor and by period.
  • Carrier allocation — identifying the right capacity from the network of verified partners.

We handle these matters at a general level and assess them for each request. We do not provide customs, tax or legal advice.

Transport types that can be assessed

FTL — full truck load

Direct transport for full loads. See FTL transport.

Groupage (LTL)

Partial loads, depending on the corridor. See groupage transport.

ADR transport

Dangerous goods, depending on the route. See ADR transport.

Refrigerated transport

Controlled temperature for sensitive goods. See refrigerated transport.

Oversized transport

Bulky goods, dedicated solutions. See oversized transport.

Mega tilt

Extended volume for bulky goods. See mega tilt transport.

Express transport

Urgent, time-critical goods. See express transport.

How the process works

  • Request — you send us the request with the details of the goods and the corridor involving a country outside the EU.
  • Route analysis — we assess the corridor, the type of goods and any specific requirements.
  • Feasibility verification — we verify feasibility according to permits, operational conditions and partner availability.
  • Carrier allocation — we identify the right capacity from the network of verified partners.
  • Execution — we coordinate loading and the movement of the goods along the agreed corridor.
  • Delivery monitoring — we track the transport and communicate along the way, up to delivery.

Dispatch available 24/7. Feasibility, availability and price depend on the corridor, the type of goods and partner availability.
