From Pécs and the rest of South Transdanubia we deliver to the Czech Republic usually in 2–3 days from loading; Brno is about 540 km away and Prague about 740 km, so Moravia and Slovakia are the quickest destinations.
What gets loaded in Baranya, Tolna and Somogy
- Villány and Siklós – red wines from Hungary's southernmost wine region, bottles in cartons on pallets.
- Szekszárd – wines from the slopes above the Danube, often smaller lots for wine shops and restaurants.
- Pécs – porcelain and ceramics from Pécs, products from the industrial zone on the edge of town.
- Kaposvár – meat and food processing, both chilled and ambient goods.
- Mohács – a Danube port serving grain, maize and sunflower farms; seed and animal feed in bags.
The route out of Pécs: M60 and M6 along the Danube, then Bratislava
From Pécs the M60 joins the M6, which runs north along the right bank of the Danube past Szekszárd and Dunaújváros to Budapest. The truck takes the M0 ring onto the M1 towards Győr and enters Slovakia at Rajka/Čunovo. After Bratislava it follows the D2 via Břeclav to Brno and the D1 on to Bohemia. Loads from Kaposvár can also head north to the M7 at Lake Balaton. Austria is not on the way. Hungary restricts trucks over 7.5 t at weekends and on public holidays, so we plan Friday collections with a margin. The Hungarian HU-GO toll and the Slovak and Czech tolls are included in the price we quote.
Packing wine, food and porcelain from South Transdanubia
| Goods | How to pack | What matters in transit |
|---|---|---|
| Villány and Szekszárd wine | cartons with dividers, pallet stretch-wrapped, corner boards | summer heat and winter frost – an insulated or reefer trailer when needed; the excise document is the shipper's job |
| Porcelain and ceramics from Pécs | each piece cushioned, rigid boxes, nothing overhanging the pallet | no stacking, marked fragile; for valuable series a dedicated vehicle without cross-docking |
| Meat and chilled products from Kaposvár | crates or cartons on pallets | reefer set to the temperature the shipper specifies |
| Seed and feed from around Mohács | bags or big bags on pallets, wrapped | dry curtainsider, protected from moisture |
Bottled wine is heavy: on a full load the roughly 24 t weight limit is usually reached before the 33 euro pallets.
Requesting a quote from Pécs
Send us the loading address (Pécs, a winery in Villány, a warehouse in Kaposvár…), the number of pallets, weight, type of goods and the delivery point in the Czech Republic or Slovakia. For wine, tell us whether you need a controlled temperature. You get the quote within 30 minutes in office hours, and we usually arrange the vehicle within 24 hours of confirmation.
