Belgium is one of the most important trading partners of German industry – with the port of Antwerp-Bruges, one of Europe's largest chemical clusters and a strong pharmaceutical sector. Speed Logistics runs the route as a dedicated direct run via North Rhine-Westphalia: around 600 kilometres, delivery in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent or Liège usually within 24 hours of collection.
As intra-EU transport, the shipment runs without customs formalities. You receive your fixed-price quote within a few hours, and our dispatch team is personally reachable around the clock – even when a load has to go out today at short notice.

Process: from quote to delivery in Belgium
You give us the collection point, dimensions, weight and date – we reply within a few hours with a fixed price. After you place the order we dispatch the right vehicle, collect the goods anywhere in Germany and drive directly to the consignee. As Belgium is an EU member, customs papers are not required; a delivery note and CMR consignment note suffice. During transport you receive status updates, and delivery is confirmed with proof of receipt.
Target regions and transit times in Belgium
From the Ruhr region or the Rhineland we often reach Liège and Antwerp the same day, Brussels and Ghent the next day. We also serve West Flanders with Zeebrugge and the Walloon industrial locations along the Charleroi–Mons axis daily. For deliveries to the port of Antwerp we factor in slot times and terminal requirements so that the vehicle does not stand in the queue.
Typical shipments on the Belgium relation
The shipment spectrum reflects Belgium's industrial structure: pharmaceutical and laboratory products for the Brussels area and Walloon Brabant, chemical intermediates and packaging for the Antwerp port cluster, machinery and plant parts for industry along the Ghent–Liège axis, as well as high-value consumer goods for retail. Also frequently in demand are trade-fair transports to Brussels with fixed set-up and dismantling times, and urgent spare-parts deliveries that prevent a line stoppage – classic assignments for the Sprinter direct run overnight. For recurring needs we set up scheduled services with fixed departure days and conditions, such as weekly deliveries to a Belgian plant. Return loads from Belgium to Germany we arrange on the same axis – that shortens response times and optimises your freight costs in both directions.
Equipment and characteristics of the Belgium relation
Belgium levies a distance-based truck toll (Viapass), which we show transparently in the fixed price – there are no additional charges afterwards. For the Antwerp chemical region we deploy drivers with ADR (dangerous goods) training and appropriately equipped vehicles; for pharmaceutical shipments we run temperature-controlled vehicles with a recorder log. Inner-city deliveries in Brussels we plan with an eye on the low-emission zone (LEZ) and the consignees' time windows. So the short route stays what it should be: fast, plannable and without surprises.
