Vehicle transport for car dealerships
Your logistics partner for moving new, used and electric vehicles between your locations and customers, across Europe — with our own fleet, HTL remains the contractual carrier, CMR-covered.
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.
Reliable logistics built for car dealerships
Brand dealer, multi-brand showroom or distribution group: you need to move vehicles between locations, from suppliers or to customers, on time and without surprises.
Spedition HTL has driven its own car carriers since 2014. You deal directly with the carrier performing the service — not a broker, not an intermediary. That means a single point of contact, controlled lead times and a long-term relationship.
In practice, most of our dealership deliveries run on the Germany–France axis and the Benelux corridors, grouped together. When a vehicle reaches the showroom it must not have changed truck since loading — that is the point we do not compromise on.
Why dealerships choose HTL
Contractual carrier, not a broker
Five car carriers are ours and run with our own drivers; the rest of the planning — around a hundred trucks depending on demand — goes out with certified partners we know by name. Either way HTL remains the contractual carrier and answers under CMR. 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.
Delivery to the dealership, not to a yard
We deliver straight to your site or to your end customer, with no detour through a storage yard. Less handling, less risk of damage on arrival in the showroom.
New and electric vehicles
Transport of new, demo and electric vehicles on open car carriers — the industry standard. Strapping adapted to the lashing points of EV models, which are heavier and sometimes lack a conventional towing eye.
Solutions tailored to your business
From a single vehicle to large volumes (FTL), we adapt the service to your volumes and vehicle types.
New vehicles
Careful delivery of new cars from your suppliers or between your sites, on open car carriers — the industry standard for dealership flows.
Used vehicles
Moving your used-vehicle stock bought across Europe, including trade-ins and purchases on professional platforms.
Electric vehicles
Transport of EVs and hybrids with the right precautions (state of charge, handling), for all vehicle types.
