Heavy goods transport between Europe and Armenia: Everything you need to know
Armenia is an important economic location in the South Caucasus and plays a crucial role in international trade between Europe and Asia. Due to its geographical location and mountainous infrastructure, heavy goods transport to and from Armenia presents particular challenges.
Here you will learn what you need to pay attention to, which regions are particularly frequently served, what costs may arise and why we are your ideal partner for heavy transport in Armenia.
What do you have to pay attention to when transporting heavy goods between Europe and Armenia?
Transporting heavy and oversized cargo to Armenia or from Armenia to Europe requires precise planning, especially due to the country's geographical characteristics. Key aspects include:
Cross-border logistics: Armenia is not an EU member, so customs clearance and import and export formalities are necessary. Furthermore, there is no direct connection to European countries, so transport takes place via third countries such as Turkey or Georgia.
Challenging infrastructure: Due to the mountainous landscape and sometimes narrow roads, special routes must be chosen for heavy-duty transport. Not all roads are suitable for heavy and oversized loads.
Required permits: Special transport permits are required for oversized and heavy loads in Armenia. This applies to both the vehicle size and the permissible total weight.
Selecting the right means of transport: Due to the difficult topography, special vehicles such as modular heavy-duty low-loaders or cranes often have to be used to transport heavy goods safely to their destination.
Frequently visited regions for heavy goods transport in Armenia
Heavy-duty transport is particularly required in Armenia for industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects. Key target regions include:
Yerevan: The capital and economic center of Armenia is an important location for machinery deliveries, construction projects and industrial facilities.
Gyumri: As Armenia's second largest city, Gyumri is often supplied with heavy transport for construction and infrastructure projects.
Vanadzor: An important industrial center, especially for mechanical engineering and metalworking, which is regularly supplied with heavy transport.
Energy and infrastructure projects: Armenia is investing in hydropower plants, road construction projects, and industrial facilities, increasing the need for heavy transport to remote regions.
How much does heavy goods transport between Europe and Armenia cost?
The cost of heavy transport to or from Armenia depends on several factors:
Distance and route: Since Armenia has no direct connection to the EU, transport often goes via Turkey or Georgia, which can incur additional transit costs.
Size and weight of the cargo: Oversized or particularly heavy cargo requires special vehicles and special permits, which affects costs.
Customs and transit fees: Due to the complex border clearance, import duties, customs fees and transit fees must be taken into account.
Road conditions: Some regions of Armenia require road repairs or alternative transportation methods, which may affect transportation costs.
Depending on the route and type of freight, the costs for a heavy transport can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of euros.
