Neele-Vat 's ADR process is fully aligned with European directives and consists of six controlled steps.
- Classification and preparation
Each shipment is pre-assessed for ADR class, packaging group and UN number. Neele-Vat takes care of the right one:
- hazard labels and markings,
- Packaging according to ADR chapter 4.1,
- safety data sheets (SDS),
- Transport documentation in accordance with ADR 5.4.
- Certified equipment
All vehicles transporting ADR goods meet European requirements:
- ADR tractors and trailers with fire protection,
- Leak-proof floors and safety kits,
- Gas detection and emergency equipment on board,
- separate compartments in combined transport.
- Qualified drivers
Neele-Vat works exclusively with ADR-certified drivers who are periodically trained in emergency procedures, risk recognition and use of protective equipment. All drivers have the ADR certificate that is recognized throughout the EU.
- Fixed routes and daily departures
ADR transports depart daily from the Benelux countries via fixed corridors to Italy:
- Lombardy: Milan, Bergamo, Brescia
- Veneto: Verona, Padua, Vicenza
- Emilia-Romagna: Bologna, Modena, Parma
Transit time averages 48 to 72 hours. ADR goods are consolidated with other shipments whenever possible to increase efficiency and sustainability.
- Cross-docking and supervised storage
Neele-Vat has ADR-certified transshipment locations in Rotterdam, Venlo and Antwerp. Here goods are temporarily stored, bundled and prepared for further transport to Italy.
- Control, tracking and documentation
All ADR shipments are fully traceable via GPS tracking and eCMR. Customers receive automatic notifications on departure, arrival and any delays. Documents are shared digitally through the customer portal, in accordance with EU data directives.
