Automotive

When the line stops, every hour counts.

Direct transports for the automotive industry. We collect missing parts wherever they are and bring them straight to the line, without transhipment. At night, at weekends and across borders.

Collection within 120 minutes
Delivery to the plant gate with pre-advice
Across Europe, also at weekends
Direkt! Kurierfahrzeug

In the automotive industry downtime costs more per hour than an entire special transport will ever cost. If a single part is missing the line stops, and every delay pushes through the whole chain into final assembly.

That is exactly the moment Direkt! exists for. We need no tender and no route planning, just a phone call. While we are still calculating the price, the vehicle is already on its way to collection.

Typical jobs.

Line stoppage

A supplier part is missing and the line has stopped. We set off immediately and drive through to the plant.

Sample parts

Prototypes and test parts between development, tooling and testing, handled confidentially.

Ramp-up

During ramp-up material is rarely missing, but time always is. We bridge the gap at short notice.

Tools and dies

Heavy tools with the right payload, properly strapped and with suitable lifting points.

Why Direkt!

Plant gate, not depot

We know how plant gates work: pre-advice, time slots, safety briefings and ramp allocation.

Discreet on the road

Prototypes travel with no visible reference to the load. A confidentiality agreement is available on request.

One contact person

Our dispatch team follows the journey and gets in touch before you have to ask.

Frequent questions

Automotive in detail.

How quickly can a vehicle be on site during a line stoppage?
We start towards collection within 120 minutes of your booking. In an acute stoppage, call us directly: we dispatch in parallel with the quotation and win valuable time.
Do you deliver straight to the production line?
We deliver to the plant gate or the assigned ramp, depending on plant rules. Give us the pre-advice, time slot and contact person and we will prepare the delivery.
Can you transport prototypes confidentially?
Yes, that is daily business in automotive. The vehicle carries no reference to the load and we sign a confidentiality agreement on request.
Are night and weekend runs possible?
Yes. Stoppages do not respect office hours. Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes are largely exempt from European weekend driving bans, which is a real advantage.
How heavy can a tool be?
Our vehicles handle shipments up to around 1,000 kilograms; for heavier tools we organise larger units. Give us weight, dimensions and lifting points and we will pick the right vehicle.
