Strasbourg: an economic region on the Upper Rhine
Strasbourg combines its role as the seat of European institutions with a diverse industrial hinterland. Alsace is home to food and beverage producers, chemical and pharmaceutical sites, machine builders and automotive suppliers. Its defining feature is the close integration with the Baden side of the river: together with Kehl and the Ortenau, the city forms one of Europe's most active cross-border economic regions, in which plant and supplier traffic rolls in both directions every day. The Rhine port is one of France's most important inland ports and additionally links the region to the Rhine corridor and the North Sea ports.
Typical use cases for direct transport
- Near-border plant and supplier traffic between Alsace, the Ortenau and the Karlsruhe technology region
- Food and beverages for retail, catering and processing businesses
- Congress and event logistics with fixed build-up and dismantling dates
- Intermediate products and finished goods for chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sites in the region
- Machinery and plant components for industrial businesses on both sides of the Rhine
Connection and particularities
The toll-free A35 bundles north-south traffic in Alsace, while the Europe Bridge at Kehl connects Strasbourg directly to the German A5. Border formalities do not apply within the EU, so vehicles cross without stopping. For deliveries into the city area, the French low-emission-zone system with the Crit'Air sticker must be observed – our dispatch team ensures that the vehicle used meets the zone's requirements.
How we plan your Strasbourg transport
Whether procurement from Germany or distribution into Alsace: you receive a binding fixed price including all toll costs in advance. From Berlin, Strasbourg is reachable in nine to ten hours of pure driving time, so that loading in the morning generally allows delivery early the next day. From southern and western Germany, same-day deliveries are even realistic. Throughout the journey you see the vehicle's position in GPS tracking, and our team is reachable around the clock for queries and short-notice changes.
Frequently asked questions
Are there formalities at the border between Germany and Strasbourg?
No. France and Germany belong to the EU and the Schengen area; there is neither customs clearance nor systematic controls. The vehicle crosses the Rhine bridge at Kehl without stopping. You only need the usual freight documents; our dispatch team takes care of tolls and vehicle requirements.
What applies to deliveries into central Strasbourg?
French cities regulate emissions via the Crit'Air sticker and low-emission zones. For inner-city deliveries we use vehicles that meet the applicable requirements, and we clarify access and the unloading situation with the recipient in advance. That way your goods arrive without delay – even at cramped delivery points in the centre.
How fast is a direct transport from Berlin to Strasbourg?
The route is around 770 kilometres with about nine to ten hours of pure driving time. With loading in the morning, delivery the next morning is the norm; with a two-driver team it goes non-stop. From Baden-Württemberg or the Rhine-Main area, same-day direct runs to Strasbourg are easily feasible.
