BLG LOGISTICS offers one-stop automotive logistics—from transportation and terminal handling to warehousing and technical services, all the way through to distribution to dealers, locations, or end customers. Depending on your needs, we can handle individual services or the entire end-to-end process. This reduces interfaces and ensures more stable processes, shorter turnaround
BLG LOGISTICS works with vehicle manufacturers, importers, shipping companies, leasing and fleet companies, car rental companies, remarketing providers, and dealers. In addition to new and used vehicles, we also handle heavy, rolling, or complex vehicles and units in the high-and-heavy sector. For fleets and remarketing, we also manage the entire process—from vehicle return through reconditioning and transport to remarketing.
BLG LOGISTICS combines road, rail, ocean, and inland waterway transport to create multimodal transportation solutions. The modes of transport are selected based on the route, volume, transit time, costs, and customer requirements. A network of seaport and inland terminals integrates transportation, handling, technical services, and further distribution—for both existing markets and new market entries.
At its own technical centers, BLG LOGISTICS provides a wide range of value-added services—including pre-delivery inspections (PDI), vehicle checks, cleaning, smart repairs, paintwork, tire and wheel services, software updates, and modifications. This ensures that vehicles are specifically prepared for delivery, onward transport, or resale.
For an initial assessment, please provide details on vehicle volume and types, pickup and drop-off locations, the desired time frame, required services, and any special requirements regarding handling, documentation, or delivery. Based on this information, BLG LOGISTICS will evaluate the most suitable solution. Even short-notice or fluctuating volumes can be evaluated depending on the location, vehicle type, scope of services, and available capacity.
The logistics involved in transporting vehicles—from the manufacturer to dealers in the destination countries—require the highest level of reliability, safety, and an adequate network. BLG LOGISTICS is a leading expert in automotive logistics in Europe and operates seaport terminals as well as inland terminals with connections to inland waterways and railways. A modern truck fleet, five inland waterway vessels, and state-of-the-art auto railcars ensure optimal handling and transport of your finished vehicles. In addition, at our automotive logistics locations and terminals, we offer storage capacity and a comprehensive range of value-added services at our in-house technical centers.
Our customer portfolio includes manufacturers, shipowners, rental companies, leasing companies, fleet operators, remarketing companies, and dealers.
