About Austria
Situated right between Eastern and Western Europe, Austria serves as a crucial transit hub for transporting goods across the continent. Thanks to huge focus on reconstruction and expansion of infrastructure in the 20th century, Austria now prides itself on over 200,000 km of well-maintained road network. Around 62% of Austria’s landscape is mountainous or hilly terrain. This challenge led to great infrastructural innovations, such as tunnels, viaducts, and mountain passes. Austria is also one of the leading European countries in green logistics and sustainable transportation. Austria’s main logistics hubs are located in Vienna, Linz, and Graz.

Frequently Asked Questions
Refrigerated vehicles tend to consume more gas and are more expensive to maintain, so refrigerated transportation costs can be substantial. With Spotos, you are in charge of your transportation budget.
Spotos offers two types of pricing for shipping your temperature controlled goods:
- Smart price is based on a dynamic pricing algorithm that applies after a customer submits a desirable rate range. It’s your opportunity to save, but be reasonable! If the chosen rate range is too low or irrational, you risk not finding a refrigerated courier.
- Fixed price is a specific rate determined by recent market trends. It guarantees 100% freight delivery.
Refrigerated transportation is the base of food logistics – meat, seafood, dairy, and frozen food all need rigorous temperature standards for transportation. It also serves pharmaceuticals, fine art, and cosmetics industries. With the help of temperature-controlled transportation, moving goods from spot A to spot B is now more efficient and safe.
To ship refrigerated items, such as food for pharmaceuticals, you need to book refrigerated vehicles that ensure insulation and temperature stability. If the temperature is controlled at all stages, your perishable goods will stay intact.
Reputable refrigerated transport services like Spotos will do their part to ensure that your chilled products will keep value during delivery. This is what you can do to ensure foolproof freight safety:
- Prepare your shipment. Keep your chilled shipment in a refrigerated environment before the shipment.
- Keep clear communication. Ahead of shipment, inform the receiver of the delivery time. Confirm the responsible person’s availability to accept and store the goods in a refrigerated environment.
- Pack precisely. Secure your shipment and ensure your freight is packed with thermal protection: foil, foam, or bubble wrap. A standard pallet with a liner is enough to keep chilled product quality during shipment.
- Keep the shipment secure. Your insulated box or pallet should withstand the forces of loading and unloading during transportation.
- Seal and send. Close and seal off the top of your insulated pallet.
