Direct transport Germany – Italy
The Germany–Italy lane is one of Europe's key trade corridors. CityFreight runs this route as a dedicated direct transport: your vehicle is loaded once and travels straight to the consignee – no transhipment, no groupage stops, no detours – with GPS tracking across the entire journey.
From a Sprinter van for urgent part loads to an articulated truck with 33 pallet spaces, we select the vehicle that matches your consignment. You receive a fixed price and a realistic delivery date up front – no surprises, no hidden surcharges.
On the Germany–Italy corridor, the Alpine crossing takes center stage — usually via the Brenner, alternatively via the Gotthard or Tauern. Cargo ranges from machinery and industrial goods heading south to fashion, tiles, food, and wine from northern Italy. At the Brenner, block clearance and sectoral driving bans must be expected, affecting transit time; we plan for these bottlenecks. The industrial focus lies in Lombardy and Veneto around Milan, Verona, and Bologna, from where we connect further south as needed.
How long does a direct transport from Germany to Italy take?
On the Berlin–Mailand lane (approx. 1.150 km), pure driving time is approx. 1.5 driving days. As a direct run without transhipment, your shipment arrives considerably faster than by groupage – with a two-driver crew running non-stop on request.
How much does a direct transport Germany–Italy cost?
The price depends on vehicle size, timing and availability on the corridor. We quote you a binding fixed price up front – with no hidden surcharges. Simply request a quote with your key shipment details.
