Europe Convoyage

What Europe Convoyage does

Europe Convoyage is a French vehicle transport and logistics firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Ambacourt in the Grand Est region, operating as a SARL under the legal name GARAGE EUROPE CAMIONS within the Via-Mobilis Group. The company runs four integrated service lines: vehicle convoyage (road transport of all vehicle types across France and the EU), secured vehicle storage on a 20,000 m² compound in Mirecourt, amicable debt recovery, and semi-trailer hauling. Its primary customers are automotive and commercial vehicle dealers, vehicle rental companies, and finance/leasing firms, with secondary demand from body shops, construction companies, freight forwarders, event organizers, and private individuals across France and select EU markets.

The operating model centers on 25 salaried professional drivers distributed across France, all FIMO/FCO-certified and employed full-time rather than subcontracted, supported by a centralized logistics team in Grand Est that ensures 24-48 hour delivery nationwide. The technology layer is a proprietary online tracking portal providing real-time mission monitoring, historical data, CSV exports, and debt recovery case status. A 20,000 m² secured storage facility with 24/7 surveillance and a loading dock anchors the storage service, and the company holds W garage certificates enabling legal temporary registration of vehicles for convoyage — a regulatory capability that materially constrains unlicensed competitors. All-risk insurance coverage up to €500,000 standard and €700,000 extended is provided through a partnership with GRAS SAVOYE/AXA.

Revenue is generated through all-inclusive per-mission pricing for convoyage, per-vehicle-per-period pricing for storage, commission-based fees on successful debt recovery (no upfront payment), and per-transfer pricing for semi-trailer transport. Pricing is quote-based with no published list, supported by a tiered cancellation and waiting-time fee structure. The company handles approximately 5,000 vehicles and 2.4 million kilometers annually, with debt recovery cases exceeding 700 per year at an 87% amicable resolution rate. Distribution is entirely direct (website quote requests, phone, email), with no intermediaries. The Via-Mobilis parent group provides cross-sell infrastructure through its portfolio of classifieds portals (Europe-Camions.com, Europe-TP.com, Europe-Manutention.com, Europe-Agri.com).
