The Ideal Solution for 5 – 10 Pallet Loads

Express Lorry is a transportation model designed for loads that exceed minivan capacity but don't fill a full TIR. With a capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes, it fills the gap in the mid-segment; delivering a fast solution at the right cost without unnecessarily booking a large vehicle.

There is no groupage consolidation waiting time. The moment your cargo is ready, the vehicle moves door-to-door.

Unmatched Flexibility at Border Crossings

Heavy vehicle restrictions do not apply to Express Lorry vehicles. They can operate independently of weekends, night hours, and special country regulations. Instead of the queues where large trucks wait at border crossings, they pass quickly through light vehicle lanes.
