Scheduled LTL groupage and full-truck departures from Spain to northern Italy via the Ventimiglia crossing. Fashion, automotive parts and industrial machinery are our highest-volume verticals. Intra-EU — CMR only, no customs.
Italy is our busiest Mediterranean corridor after France — the Ventimiglia coastal crossing puts Barcelona within 2-3 day FTL reach of the entire Po Valley industrial belt. No customs clearance since both are EU single market; paperwork is CMR, commercial invoice and packing list.
Three verticals carry most of this lane: fashion and textiles into the Milan/Lombardy retail clusters, automotive Tier 2 components into the Turin/Piedmont supplier parks, and industrial machinery plus ambient food into the Bologna/Verona distribution hubs.
Spain-side pickup from our Castellar del Valles hub. Italian deliveries into Milan, Turin, Verona, Bologna, Padova and Florence via our long-standing Italian distribution partners. One file, one dispatcher, documents closed on delivery.

Italy restricts trucks over 7.5t on Sundays and public holidays (08:00 to 22:00) plus additional bans on summer weekends on Autostrada A1, A14 and coastal routes. We plan Friday pickups to arrive Friday night or resume Monday morning. For the Christmas and Easter windows, an extended ban schedule applies — we publish the dates in advance.
