We arrange road freight on the Prague → Vienna route – pallets, part loads and full truckloads, in both directions. A vehicle is usually ready within 24 hours.

How does the Prague → Vienna route run?

We use two routes from Prague to Vienna. Via the D1 to Brno, then the D52 through Mikulov and the Austrian A5, it is about 330 km and a truck needs 4–4.5 hours. The shorter route via Jihlava and Znojmo, crossing at Hatě–Kleinhaugsdorf and continuing on the S3 expressway, is around 300 km.

We choose the route according to current traffic on the D1 and the unloading point – for northern Vienna and the Weinviertel, the Znojmo route is the better option.

In and around Prague we load at the logistics parks in Rudná, Jažlovice, Úžice and Zdiby and in the industrial zones around Kladno and Mladá Boleslav. In Vienna we unload at the Freudenau port, in the industrial areas of Wiener Neudorf and Vösendorf, in Gerasdorf, Stockerau and at Vienna-Schwechat airport.
