Slovakia is one of the densest automotive locations in Europe – and for German suppliers and machine builders a market where transit times count. Speed Logistics runs the Germany–Slovakia route as a direct run via the Vienna–Bratislava corridor: around 700 kilometres from Berlin, delivery in Bratislava usually within 24 hours, Žilina and Košice on the first to second working day.
As an EU transport, the shipment runs without customs formalities – no border clearance, no waiting times. You send us the key data, we reply within a few hours with a fixed-price quotation and dispatch the right vehicle, from the van for the urgent pallet to the articulated truck for the full load.

Just-in-time for the automotive industry
Around Bratislava, Trnava, Žilina and Košice, vehicle manufacturers and hundreds of suppliers produce in a clocked rhythm. Our dispatch team plans deliveries to the exact time window: collection at the supplier in Germany, direct run without transhipment, delivery with advance notice to the plant gate. In case of line-stoppage risk we dispatch express vehicles with a double crew around the clock – also at night and on weekends, because our dispatch team is personally available 24/7.
Process and transit times
After your enquiry with the collection point, delivery address, weight and dimensions, you receive our fixed-price quotation. The main leg runs via the Czech Republic or Austria; Bratislava lies directly beyond the Austrian border and is reachable from most German regions within 24 hours. For central and eastern Slovakia (Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Košice) we calculate one to two working days. Delivery is made with proof of delivery; your fixed point of contact keeps you informed of the shipment status.
Typical shipments on the Slovakia route
We run series parts and sequence goods for automotive plants, machinery and spare parts for mechanical engineering, electronics components for high-tech manufacturing, and trade goods in both directions. We also integrate return collections – for instance empties, load carriers or returns from Slovak plants – into the tour planning, which noticeably lowers your freight costs on the route.
Process: from enquiry to the ramp
You send us the collection point, delivery address, weight, dimensions and desired date – by email or telephone. Within a few hours you receive our fixed-price quotation, and for express needs much faster. After order placement we dispatch the vehicle, give advance notice to the loading point and collect the goods; delivery in Slovakia is made on time with proof of delivery. About delays – for instance due to the traffic situation in the Vienna/Bratislava border area – we inform proactively, not only on request.
For recurring needs we set up fixed traffic: the same departure days, well-practised loading points, framework conditions. Empties and load-carrier returns from Slovak plants we integrate into round trips – this way the route becomes economical in both directions. On request we additionally handle packaging advice and transport insurance for high-value shipments – a point that regularly saves real money for electronics and tool transport.
