What is the route from the Czech Republic to Luxembourg?
We reach Luxembourg through Germany. From Prague the route follows the D5 via Rozvadov and the A6 via Nuremberg, Heilbronn and Mannheim to Saarbrücken, then the A8 to the border at Perl and Schengen, or via Trier on the A1 – about 740 km in total, roughly 960 km from Brno.
Luxembourg is small, about 80 km from north to south, so unloading anywhere in the country is only a short detour. The border lies inside Schengen and the shipment usually reaches the consignee 1–2 days after loading.
Where we go in Luxembourg – industrial centres
We most often head to these cities and industrial areas with manufacturing and automotive companies:
- Luxembourg – finance, ArcelorMittal
- Esch-sur-Alzette – steel, industry
- Differdange – steel
What do we transport to Luxembourg?
To Luxembourg we carry machine parts and consumables for the steelworks in the south (Esch-sur-Alzette, Differdange), components for tyre and glass production, building materials for the busy construction around the capital and shipments for air cargo at Findel airport.
Air cargo shipments must make the air freight forwarder's cut-off, so we plan the airport delivery time with a buffer.
Which tolls and rules apply in Luxembourg?
- Tolls: Germany charges a distance-based toll for vehicles over 3.5 t. Luxembourg uses the time-based Eurovignette for trucks from 12 t.
- Driving ban: the German Sunday and holiday ban for vehicles over 7.5 t applies on the way. We plan Friday loadings so that the truck crosses Germany by Saturday.
- Fuel: diesel in Luxembourg is traditionally cheaper than in neighbouring countries, so many trucks refuel here and motorway stations are busy.
- Receiving hours: many companies in Luxembourg accept goods only on weekday mornings, so we agree the unloading time in advance.
What do we transport from Luxembourg to the Czech Republic?
From Luxembourg to the Czech Republic we mainly carry steel sections and sheet, tyres, flat glass and shipments arriving via the Findel air cargo hub. We load anywhere in the country and often combine the load with imports from Belgium or Saarland.
