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.

The transport partner for import agents

You source vehicles abroad for your clients. Transport and the language barrier with the seller are two sensitive points that can delay delivery.

Spedition HTL has driven its own car carriers since 2014, delivers directly with no storage yard, and our native French-German team handles communication and paperwork with the seller — in German, French and English. One contact, from seller to client.

Germany is the leading origin of our transports to France. Electric vehicles need adapted strapping: flag them in your request, it is planned at loading.

Why import agents choose HTL

Contractual carrier, not a broker

More than 40 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.

German purchases handled in German

Most of your sources are German. Our native German-speaking team deals directly with the dealership or platform: appointments, paperwork, power of attorney. You never have to run that exchange.

Regular flows, reserved capacity

An import agent buys continuously, not occasionally. On our German routes, announcing a weekly volume gets you a slot in the operating schedule instead of depending on what is left.

Solutions tailored to importing

Single vehicle, partial load or full load: we adapt the service to your import pace.

Import from across Europe

Moving vehicles bought from dealers, auctions or trade sellers — Germany, Benelux and beyond.

Communication with the seller

Our EN/DE/FR team handles contact, scheduling and documents (CMR, invoice) with the foreign seller.

Direct delivery to the client

The vehicle is delivered directly to you or your end client, with no intermediate storage.

Regular grouped flows

Planned rotations and grouped transport for higher-volume import agents.
