Sweden \u2013 a European car manufacturing hub<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sweden is a major car manufacturing hub in Europe with five production sites spread across its territory, manufacturing both cars and engines. The names are renown like NEVS<\/strong> (National Electric Vehicle Sweden) in Trolh\u00e4ttan, Volvo Car Corporation<\/strong> (GEELY) in Torslanda (G\u00f6teborg), and Koenigsegg Automotive AB<\/strong> in \u00c4ngelholm. Furthermore, engines are manufactured by companies like Volkswagen AG<\/strong> in S\u00f6dert\u00e4lje and the Volvo group.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delivery to Sweden: the challenge of long distances<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sweden faces a major logistics challenge due to its far-flung location compared to the rest of Europe. Express delivery of car parts (parcels, pallets] to that Nordic country can be tricky owing to the long distances to cover.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweden is 1,170 km from Paris, 2,200 km from Madrid\u2026 2,600 km from Lisbon<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thus expect 1,170 km from Paris to Sweden, 2,200 km from Madrid, Spain and up to 2,600 km from Lisbon, Portugal. For logistics emergencies to Sweden, using road transport can take several days as the distances to cover are so long. Resorting to air freight may then be a smart move to drastically reduce delivery time frames in a logistics crisis (supply shortage, line stoppage at the car factory, urgent corrective maintenance, broken industrial mould, avoidance of contractual delay penalties, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n

Road vs air charter to Sweden: transport time to Gothenburg<\/span><\/h2>\n

To illustrate the above statement, the below table compares road and air (air charter) transport times from various European capitals towards Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport<\/a>, Sweden.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

**Average airport – airport flight time (for info only) accounting for: 1-hour technical stop when necessary, 1 hour for loading and take-off, and 30 minutes for unloading. The flight times given do not account for any potential run-in for the aircraft or pre-\/post-carriage.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of time saved with an air charter to Sweden<\/span><\/h3>\n

The previous table shows that air charter can cut delivery time frames by 5<\/strong> on average compared to road transport.<\/span><\/p>\n

A shipment from Prague to Sweden only takes 3 hours by air vs 14 hours by road<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Consequently, a shipment from Prague to Sweden only takes 3 hours by air vs 14 hours by road, thus saving 11 hours. Same findings for transport from Paris: road transport takes more than 20 hours, whereas air charter covers the same distance in less than 4 hours, saving 16 hours on the France-Sweden delivery time frame.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is possible to achieve such swift transit times thanks to turboprop charter planes like the Metroliner, which offers an average payload of 6 Euro Pallets (EPAL 6) or 1 gross tonne.<\/span><\/p>\n
