Corridor Hannover–Paris

France sits within the EU single market – without customs clearance, but with its own cross-border logic. The Hannover–Paris corridor forms the backbone from which TB LOG opens up south-west corridors (Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse) and JIT supplier transport as a system.

The Hannover–Paris France corridor at a glance

Around 880 kilometres connect the Hannover area with the Paris metropolitan region. As transport within the EU single market, customs clearance is not required – making the axis fast, but one that must be planned as a cross-border corridor with its own rules.

EU single market & cross-border rules

No customs, but not without regulations: toll systems, posting rules and cabotage rules are taken into account in tour planning. The corridor runs as a clocked system rather than an improvised one-off trip.

South-west corridors & JIT supplier transport

Beyond Paris, TB LOG opens up corridors into the French south-west (Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse) – regions with a strong automotive and aerospace industry. For Just-in-Time supplier transport, fixed delivery windows and consistent drivers are what count.

System corridor instead of spot market

Recurring France transports can be planned as fixed corridors and are superior in unit-cost terms – compared to one-off trips bought freshly on the spot market each day with no capacity guarantee.
