Road transport Slovakia
Slovakia has a developed economy, the most important component of it is the industrial one. According to the official website of the European Union, in 2020 the industrial sector accounted for 24.1% of Slovakia’s economy, followed by wholesale and retail trade, transport and food service industry. The main industry is automotive, accounting for over a quarter of Slovakia’s exports.
This has created the premises for an accelerated development of logistics and transport. The transport of goods is mainly by road.
The majority of Slovakia’s exports are within the EU (79%). Slovakia also exports to countries outside EU, such as United States, the United Kingdom and China. 80% of Slovakia’s imports are from EU countries, but they also import from countries outside the EU (South Korea, China and Russia).
Europa Expeditie has developed, in the over 25 years of activity, a vast network of partners in carrying out import/export transports to/from Slovakia. Thus, we can come up with a transport solution regardless of the location of loading/delivery, the size of the goods, or their type.
We offer you profitable transport solutions on Romania – Slovakia route, but we are not limited to this. We can also provide you with import or export solutions from the Netherlands with a loading or unloading point in any other country in the European Union or even outside the EU (for example Ukraine, Turkey, or England).
The trucks used by Europa Expeditie offer a wide range of FTL or LTL transport daily to various destinations in Slovakia. We know from our experience that the loading of the export or import goods from Slovakia can usually be combined with other loadings. Whether we are talking about groupage transport, refrigerated transport, oversized transport, or ADR transport, we will offer you an individual solution according to your transport needs.
1. Transport routes Slovakia - Romania
Europa Expeditie organizes FTL or groupage shipments on Slovakia – Romania route to most major cities or logistics centers such as Bratislava, Kosice, Presov, Zilina, Banska Bystrica, Nitra, Trnava, Martin etc.
We can also add your destination to this list.
2. Shipping prices to/ from Slovakia
Prices for transporting goods from/to Slovakia depend on the type of transport you need, volume, weight, distance, and delivery time, but also on additional services such as transshipment of goods, and permits in the case of oversized goods, special transport conditions, additional insurance, etc.
It is well-known, that the price also depends on the volume of goods and, implicitly, on the transport demand in the market, the presence or absence of capacity in the transport market, etc. Given that Slovakia is a highly industrialized country, the demand for transport is always high, which also attracts a very important transport capacity in this market.
Since every transport request is unique and customers’ needs are diverse, you can contact us to get customized solutions to your transport needs.
3. Types of transport Slovakia-Romania / Romania-Slovakia
3.1. FTL transport
Dedicated transport for a single customer. It involves renting a full truck to transport goods from one point to another. In most cases, the price is based on the payment per kilometer traveled by truck. There are also exceptional situations where additional costs may occur, but they are brought to the attention of customers.
3.2. LTL transport
This means that one truck transports goods from several customers. It is also called groupage. Compared to the FTL regime, for groupage shipments, the customer pays per pallet (if the goods are on pallets) or per floor space occupied in the truck (if the goods are not on pallets).
