Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments to Romania require a keen focus on both cost and speed. Neele-Vat combines your freight—between 5 and 24 pallets—into a single efficient transport stream. You pay only for the space used, while we manage the complex consolidation process and the 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 a suitable and cost-effective solution. For full truckloads, expedited transport, Tailored solutions, or the transport of ADR, we also offer FTL and specialized transport solutions.
No matter what mode of transport your cargo requires, we ensure a professional and smoothly managed transport route to Romania.
Neele-Vat provides international road transport to and from Romania, a key trade destination in Southeast Europe. From the Netherlands, we transport goods to economic hubs such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Brașov, and Constanța, as well as to other destinations throughout the country.
Depending on the shipment, we offer full truckloads (FTL), LTL, and groupage. Thanks to daily departure options, we can flexibly respond to various transportation needs. In our planning, we take into account Romanian driving bans, busy transit routes, and local traffic restrictions.
