Used-vehicle transport for traders
Bring in your used-vehicle stock bought anywhere in Europe — cross-border purchases, online platforms and professional auctions — with HTL as the contractual carrier and a tracking link per shipment.

Spedition HTL GmbH (Düsseldorf, founded 2014) moves cars and light commercial vehicles on open car carriers across Europe; on every consignment HTL remains the contractual carrier, liable under the CMR, including when a certified partner drives.
Logistics for used-vehicle traders
Used-car trader, agent or cross-border dealer: you buy vehicles across Europe and must bring them back fast, without hurting your margins or your vehicles.
Spedition HTL has driven its own car carriers since 2014. You deal with the contractual carrier, at a clear price and with reliable lead times — HTL answers under CMR on every consignment, and no broker takes a cut of your margin.
On a used car bought abroad, the delivery cost weighs all the more when the margin is tight: that is where grouping collections makes the difference.

Why used-vehicle traders choose HTL
Contractual carrier, not a broker
47 trucks on our planning every day, with certified partners we know by name. Either way HTL remains the contractual carrier and answers under CMR; five of them are car carriers of our own and run with our own drivers. A broker passes your transport to a third party and steps out of the contract.
A family business since 2014
A family tradition in car transport since 2014, on the DE, FR, BE, NL and DK corridors. Native French-German team: with a German seller we speak German, with no translation in between.
Remote purchases handled end to end
You buy in Germany, the Netherlands or Italy without travelling: our team contacts the seller in their language, arranges collection and picks the vehicle up with power of attorney. You just take delivery.
The price drops with volume
On the same corridor, the cost per vehicle drops from the second vehicle onwards, and keeps falling as the truck fills up. Grouping your purchases into the same week remains the most effective lever on your delivery cost.
Tailored to your trading business
From a single vehicle to large volumes, we bring your stock back from your European sources.
Cross-border purchases
Repatriation of vehicles bought from peers, private sellers or professionals in another EU country.
Platforms & online auctions
Pickup of vehicles bought on B2B platforms and auction sites, directly from the seller.
Vehicle grouping
Lower your cost per vehicle by grouping several units on a single open car carrier.
