      Our guide to European trade via road transport post Brexit  

      According to new data from Transporeon’s Transport Market Monitor (TMM), Brexit has had a dramatic impact on the European road freight capacity.

      “We predicted rising prices and falling transport capacity at the end of 2020, and our data has confirmed such a development,” said Oliver Kahrs, MD of Tim Consult, a Transporeon subsidiary.

      “While this may be normal for the end-of-the-year season, it cannot entirely be explained by the Christmas period. Transport capacity levels have dropped extraordinarily between the European continent and the UK, while prices on this corridor are soaring. Brexit is obviously having an impact.”

      Road freight capacity is however expected to recover within the first quarter of 2021 so its important to plan ahead in your transport planning. Don’t forget the benefits it offers!

      One of the key benefits to using road transport as an international business is the flexibility it offers, particularly when trading within the EU. This is due to the motorway network alongside the efficiency and speed of crossing national borders.

      Other advantages to road transport include:

      • Relatively low cost in comparison to air or sea freight, offering a low capital cost which makes it easy for new entrants.
      • Extensive road networks allow for scheduled delivery days and next day delivery service, allowing for door to door service in local neighbourhoods and across borders.
      • Transport can be scheduled to suit your business, with the ability to track the journey of goods.
      • It allows security and privacy for consignments.
      • Packing goods is cheaper in relation to other modes of freight transport.
      • There is a daily import and export service throughout mainland Europe.

      We offer multiple cost-effective forms of deliveries including express, standard, and economy across our reliable networks in the countries listed below:

      Austria / Belarus / Belgium / Bosnia/ Bulgaria / Croatia / Czech Republic / Denmark / Estonia / Finland / France / Germany / Greece / Holland / Hungary / Ireland / Italy / Latvia / Lithuania / Macedonia / Norway / Poland / Portugal / Romania / Serbia & Montenegro / Slovakia / Slovenia / Spain / Switzerland / Sweden / Ukraine.

      When transporting via road in the UK, our strong links with UK haulage companies allows us to provide you with competitive prices, passing on these low costs for distribution of FCL, part load LCL, across the UK both importing and exporting. Our same day collection and delivery services are subject to space and vehicle availability.
