Services overview Air Freight Sea Freight Road FreightRoad freight for domestic, European and international shipments where the cargo, route and operating conditions fit. Rail FreightFreightHub Logistics coordinates rail freight for suitable cargo on selected China–Europe and Eurasian routes. Project Cargo Industries overview Industrial & manufacturing logisticsKeep the production requirement at the centre of the freight decision. A missing component may need a different route from a planned machinery shipment; a large piece of equipment needs its weight and handling requirements understood before a schedule is agreed. Automotive logistics for production and aftermarket supplyA production-critical component and a planned shipment of replacement parts can travel through the same supply chain but serve different deadlines. FreightHub Logistics helps automotive businesses select transport around the cargo, receiving schedule and operational requirement rather than treating every parts shipment as an emergency. Healthcare & medical logisticsThe product's transport requirements should lead the freight plan. A diagnostic device, packaged clinical supplies and temperature-sensitive cargo need different handling information, documentation and routing decisions before collection is arranged. High-tech & electronics logisticsElectronics freight decisions need more than a carton count. Component availability, equipment value, fragility and battery content can all change the appropriate route and handling plan. FreightHub Logistics helps technology businesses bring those requirements into the shipment brief before transport is confirmed. Food and perishables logisticsFood freight starts with the product's requirements. A dry packaged shipment and a chilled consignment may need different transport, storage and handling arrangements, even when they share an origin and destination. The available shelf life also matters when comparing routes. Chemical logisticsA chemical shipment needs a clear product description before the freight options can be compared. Classification, packaging and handling requirements affect which routes and carriers can accept the goods. Some chemicals can travel as non-dangerous cargo; others require dangerous-goods documentation and specific transport arrangements. Renewable energy logisticsRenewable energy equipment may travel as standard containerised freight or as a shipment that needs individual project planning. Dimensions, weight and the delivery schedule determine the starting point. A consignment of electrical components and a larger item of project equipment should not be quoted on the same assumptions. Fashion and retail logisticsA collection launch and a routine stock delivery put different demands on freight. The receiving date may be fixed, while supplier readiness and shipment volumes still need confirmation. FreightHub Logistics helps fashion and retail businesses bring those details into a transport plan before choosing a mode. Consumer goods and FMCG logisticsRegular replenishment, promotional stock and larger inventory shipments each need a freight plan that reflects when the goods will be ready and where they must arrive. FreightHub Logistics supports consumer goods and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) customers through its Netherlands, Germany and China offices. E-commerce freight and inventory logisticsGetting stock from a supplier to the right receiving warehouse is a separate task from fulfilling individual customer orders. FreightHub Logistics supports international inbound freight and agreed inventory movements for e-commerce businesses, with dedicated e-commerce industry capability in the Netherlands and China.

Recorded facts

Recorded outcome: FreightHub Logistics reports door-to-door delivery to Mumbai in 48 hours.
Services involved: Air freight
Offices involved: Italy, the Netherlands and Germany · Mumbai

FreightHub Logistics’ assignment was to send car spare parts from suppliers in Italy, the Netherlands and Germany to Mumbai. The shipments were brought together in Frankfurt before air transport. The receiving point mattered: this consignment needed to reach Mumbai's courier terminal rather than the cargo terminal.

Consolidating the European collections

The team consolidated the supplier shipments in Frankfurt, reducing shipment preparation time and shipping costs.

The cargo weighed 107 kg.

Preparing the export and selecting the receiving terminal

FreightHub Logistics completed EX1 export clearance and selected Lufthansa for the air transport.

For this consignment, arrival at the courier terminal was necessary to avoid the delays and additional customs-clearance costs associated with arrival at the cargo terminal.

The reported result

FreightHub Logistics reports door-to-door delivery to Mumbai in 48 hours.

Preparing a consolidation enquiry

List each supplier's collection address, goods-ready date, package dimensions and weight. Include the car-part descriptions, commercial documents, recipient details and required delivery date. If the consignee or its broker has specified a receiving terminal or clearance arrangement, provide that instruction with the enquiry so it can be checked before booking.
