Smart combining, maximum savings

From partial lots to cost-efficient logistics

Less Than Truckload (LTL) to Italy require a keen eye on both cost and speed. Neele-Vat combines your freight between 5 and 24 pallets into one efficient transport flow. You pay only for the space used, while we direct the complex consolidation and necessary customs clearance at the border.

  • Optimize your transportation budget by cleverly combining shipments without losing quality.
  • Monitor the integrity of your goods by merging only compatible loads.

Your business in motion

Flexible, fast and in full control

With LTL transport, you only pay for the cargo space your shipment takes up. Ideal for larger partial shipments that do not require a full truck.

Is your shipment smaller? Then groupage is an appropriate and cost efficient solution. For full loads, urgent transport, tailored road transport or the transport of dangerous goods (ADR), we also offer FTL and specialized transport solutions.

Whatever form of transport your cargo requires, we provide a professional and smoothly directed transport route 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.
