Urgent Freight Transport to {country}

Just like the dedicated van, the Dedicated Box Truck is the definitive solution when time is the most critical factor but at the same time, the goods have a larger volume than that of a van. In a box truck, a larger volume of goods can be loaded, making it the ideal vehicle for tall pallets for example.

The box truck transports exclusively your goods from the point of origin directly to their destination in {country}, without intermediate stops or sharing the vehicle with other loads. This ensures a direct shipment, minimizing delivery times and offering total control over your urgent cargo.

Dedicated Box Truck to {country}: Exclusivity, Absolute Speed and Greater Cargo Volume

This urgent transport modality is the definitive solution when time is the most critical factor. A dedicated van or industrial taxi transports exclusively your goods from the point of origin (whether Spain, Portugal or a third country) directly to their destination in {country}, without intermediate stops or sharing the vehicle with other loads.

This ensures a direct shipment, minimizing delivery times and offering total control over your urgent cargo. It is ideal for samples, prototypes, spare parts or any goods whose arrival in {country} is crucial to maintain Just-in-Time production or avoid operational stoppages or unnecessary setbacks that one cannot afford.

Dedicated Van or Industrial Taxi to {country}: Exclusivity and Absolute Speed

You will receive clear delivery times for your express shipment to {country}, allowing you to plan with precision.

Defined Delivery Times

Although express shipments focus on speed, the dimensions and weight of your goods will continue to influence the rate and the most suitable modality (dedicated van vs. urgent groupage).
