Known and respected as one of Europe’s leading specialist express delivery companies, Priority Freight helps clients meet complex and urgent international transport challenges. With offices in the UK, Europe and Moscow, Priority Freight’s experienced multilingual staff are available 24/7, 365 days a year, to meet your time-definite transport needs, often beating seemingly impossible deadlines.

Since 1996, the automotive sector has been core to our continued success. Our services are tailor-made to support the complex logistical demands of automotive production and aftermarket support.

Our Moscow office is staffed with native Russian and European staff and it offers the local expertise car companies require to expedite shipments. Providing industry leading transit times for scheduled lines by road, air and sea, Priority Freight offers a refreshing alternative to companies doing business in Russia. Not only has our approach enabled us to reduce costs for transportation, but we also reduce clients’ capital invested in assets whilst in transit due to faster transportation and customs clearance.

The potential for supply chain interruption is always a threat to lean manufacturing, and whether an interruption is caused by industrial action, quality failure, financial stability, sudden demand surge, bad weather or a combination of these issues, it is imperative to have in place a company that can act fast, be pro-active and supportive. That’s where Priority Freight helps. Typically we collect goods anywhere in Europe within 60 minutes, kick-starting an urgent delivery to prevent a supply chain slip-up from becoming a production disaster. That’s why Priority Freight are relied upon by the world’s leading OEMs, and their suppliers for their priority time-definite transports by road and air.

As well as inbound emergencies, car companies choose us to protect their brand image by providing after-market express transport of vital parts to distributors and direct to dealerships. Although there may not be the same downtime costs of lost production, OEMs realise that customer satisfaction in their brand is of huge value, and Priority Freight helps keep OEMs’ promises to their customers, by getting the parts to them on time.

Priority Freight provides door to door transportation globally, utilising multimodal services to provide the highest service level and optimum solution every time. Services provided include:

• Air Charter
• Direct Express Road Transportation
• Express Airfreight
• Intermodal Solutions/Mutlimodal Solutions
• Customs Clearance for Russia and Europe
