Austria Freight Forwarding & Logistics – Flexilogistik

Located in the very heart of Europe, Austria is one of the continent’s most important transit countries – and a key link in European trade. At Flexilogistik, we operate across the entire country, transporting all types of goods, from full truck loads (FTL) to less-than-truck loads (LTL), to and from Austria multiple times a day. Our services go far beyond Germany–Austria routes, also covering freight forwarding between Austria and our other European partner countries.

Austria – The Alpine Republic at the Crossroads of Europe

Although Austria is one of the smaller EU member states in terms of land area, its central position and numerous borders give it strategic significance for European logistics. The country shares frontiers with Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, making it a gateway for north–south and east–west transport flows.

​

Over 60% of Austria’s territory is mountainous, dominated by the Alps, which makes route selection and seasonal planning essential for smooth freight operations.

​

Austria’s Role in Trade and Transport

Roughly two-thirds of Austria’s economic output comes from the services sector, but its role in international freight transport is substantial due to extensive foreign trade and its position on major transit corridors. Germany is Austria’s most important trading partner for both imports and exports, which means the Germany–Austria corridor is one of the busiest in Europe.

​

Austria’s motorway network is relatively well developed, but heavy traffic through the Alpine passes can lead to bottlenecks – especially in winter. In fact, four of the five busiest Alpine freight routes are located in Austria. Since 2004, all truck traffic has been subject to a distance-based toll system using the GO-Box, managed by ASFINAG.
