What L. Transport does

L.Transport S.p.A. is an Italian privately held transport and logistics company headquartered in Pescara, founded in 2000 by Luciana Ferrone and operating across Europe with a fleet of more than 150 vehicles. The company offers an integrated portfolio spanning Full Truck Load (FTL) and Less than Truck Load (LTL) road transport, intermodal road-rail-sea services (including a 2025 intermodal rail connection between Interporto d'Abruzzo and Terminal Saletti/Cepim di Parma), 24-hour express distribution within Abruzzo, and inbound/outbound warehousing with picking, kitting, and pick & pack capabilities. It serves enterprise clients primarily in the DIY, gardening, and manufacturing sectors, with additional exposure to e-commerce/retail and international trade via customs assistance services.

The company's technology stack centers on a proprietary Transport Planning Software that calculates optimal routes, distances, tolls, and real-time delivery phases, paired with GPS-based vehicle tracking and a computerized warehouse management system that interfaces with customer ERPs. Revenue is generated on a per-shipment, custom-quoted basis for transport services, with managed-service contracts for warehousing and ancillary fees for All Risk insurance, customs assistance, and assembly services. Go-to-market is enterprise sales-led, supported by a 24/24 customer service center, a self-service online quote portal, and a reserved customer area for shipment and warehouse management. Industry leadership is leveraged extensively — CEO Luciana Ferrone holds national and regional Vice Presidency roles in CNA FITA and chairs the Chamber of Commerce Transport and Logistics Commission — providing regulatory and network access that complements direct B2B relationship selling. The company is family-owned, with second-generation family members joining the management team, and has three wholly owned subsidiaries (L.Transport Immobiliare, L.Transport Logistica, MODUS Logistica).
