No. The ELVIS part-load system is a central component, but far from the only one. ELVIS sees itself as a holistic network that combines operational networks, services, consulting and strategic support.

The ELVIS part-load system is a system-driven network for part loads. It bridges the gap between groupage and full loads and enables economical, plannable transport via a central hub.

Partners bring part loads to the central hub in Knüllwald. There the shipments are consolidated and handed over to partners in the respective destination regions. This creates fixed transit times, high efficiency and short transport routes.

Operational networks are specialised transport and service systems within the association, e.g.:

• Part-load system
• International groupage and part-load networks
• Special solutions such as piggyback forklift, crane or sea freight

The ELVIS central purchasing pools the needs of all partners and negotiates central framework agreements and purchasing projects. Partners benefit from discounts, bonuses and top conditions, while retaining full entrepreneurial freedom.

ELVIS partners benefit from, among other things:

• Strong operational networks
• Cost advantages through central purchasing
• Consulting and services from a single source
• Market and industry knowledge
• Personal exchange within the network
• Greater competitiveness

Yes. Through its partner companies, ELVIS gives shippers access to nationwide and Europe-wide transport solutions, supplemented by special services such as piggyback forklift deliveries, international transport or sea freight.

• Partner assemblies
• Regional meetings
• Working groups & benchmarking groups
• Webinars & training courses
• Market reports & newsletters

In addition to the annual ELVIS Partner Assembly, there are regular specialist events, workshops, webinars and exclusive information offerings for partners.
