Maximum capacity, direct delivery

From logistical complexity to complete control

Full Truck Load (FTL) to Italy requires rock-solid direction and in-depth knowledge of local customs laws. Neele-Vat links your business directly to the European market by eliminating unnecessary links. You benefit from a closed chain without transshipment, allowing you to maintain full control over your vulnerable or time-critical goods flows.

  • Monitor your shipment real-time via our centralized control for total transparency.
  • Eliminate damage risks through sealed transport from loading point to final destination.

Your business in motion

Flexible, fast and in full control

With FTL, you choose a transportation solution without compromise. Your cargo stays in one vehicle for the entire journey, which reduces transit time and minimizes risks at transshipment and border crossings.

Is your shipment smaller than a full load? Then we also offer efficient LTL and groupage solutions to Italy. For urgent shipments, customized transport or the transport of dangerous goods (ADR), you can also count on our expertise.

Whatever form of transport your cargo requires, we provide a reliable and professionally directed solution to Italy.

Transit times Italy

Neele-Vat operates to Italy every business day. Full truckloads (FTL) reach their destination in two to three business days, less-than-truckloads (LTL) in up to four business days, and groupage shipments in up to seven business days; the exact transit time depends on whether the destination is in northern or southern Italy. This difference is significant: Milan is approximately 1,050 kilometers away, while Rome and Naples are 1,700 to 1,900 kilometers away, with a crossing of the Alps en route. In addition, vehicles weighing 7.5 metric tons or more are subject to Italian driving bans on Sundays, which we factor into our planning.
