Freight forwarder in Leganés: direct road freight from the UK to the south-west of Madrid
Companies in Leganés depend on reliable supply from abroad, including from British manufacturers and distributors. As a freight forwarder in Leganés, DAGO Express sends one vehicle for each consignment. It is loaded directly at your site in the UK and delivers straight to the business park, workshop or store in Leganés without a transfer at a groupage depot. Because your goods are handled only twice – when they are loaded and when they are unloaded – the risk of damage is much lower.
A vehicle typically reaches your UK address 60 to 120 minutes after booking. If you plan your dispatch days in advance, you can also fix a collection time that suits your schedule. Our punctuality rate of 99.5 % helps your customers in Spain to schedule goods-in, installation or resale without guesswork.
Consignments for Leganés
Technology parks and industrial estates in Leganés order electronic components, machinery, tools, spare parts and packaging. Meanwhile, car dealers and workshops in the Ciudad del Automóvil need vehicle parts and accessories on a regular basis. Building materials, furniture, medical devices and e-commerce stock complete the picture. If you are based in Leganés and want to ship to customers in England, Scotland or Wales, the same service works in the other direction.

Logistics in Leganés: technology parks and a university town
Leganés has around 190,000 residents and lies roughly 11 km south-west of central Madrid. Once an agricultural village, it grew rapidly in the second half of the twentieth century and is now one of the larger towns in the southern metropolitan belt. The Carlos III University of Madrid runs its engineering school on a campus in Leganés, which has encouraged technology firms and research-driven businesses to settle nearby. This brings regular deliveries of technical equipment.
The Leganés Tecnológico park, known locally as Legatec, is aimed at innovative companies, while traditional industrial estates such as Nuestra Señora de Butarque, Prado Overa and Puerta de Carabanchel host manufacturers, wholesalers and service providers. The Ciudad del Automóvil gathers car dealerships and workshops in one area, creating steady demand for parts and equipment. Health care is also an important employer, with the Severo Ochoa hospital serving the area and needing regular medical supplies.
Thanks to the dense network of ring roads around Madrid, many distribution businesses have also chosen Leganés as a base for supplying the capital. For British exporters, this means a mix of high-tech deliveries with precise specifications and regular pallet volumes for trade and retail.
The route from the UK to Leganés
Most transports start with the Dover–Calais ferry or Le Shuttle from Folkestone to Coquelles. The drive then leads through western France to Irun, and on the Spanish side the motorways continue via Burgos to the A-1 into the Madrid region. Another option is the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander. From there, the A-67 leads south to Palencia, the A-62 to Tordesillas and the A-6 over the Guadarrama mountains to Madrid.
Leganés is enclosed by the M-40, M-45 and M-50 ring roads, and the A-42 towards Toledo runs along its eastern edge. The M-406 and M-409 link the town with Alcorcón, Getafe and Fuenlabrada, so vehicles can reach the business parks without entering central Madrid.
Customs requirements for Spain
Shipments from Great Britain to Spain cross into the EU, which means an export declaration is required in the UK and an import declaration in the EU. Both the exporter and the importer must hold EORI numbers. When the vehicle reaches Dover or the Channel Tunnel, the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) links the declarations to it with a Goods Movement Reference. Please ask your customs agent to prepare these documents before collection, as DAGO Express does not prepare customs declarations or handle customs clearance.
Collection and delivery in Leganés and the surrounding area
We deliver to the town centre and to all neighbourhoods, including Zarzaquemada, San Nicasio, El Carrascal, La Fortuna and Arroyo Culebro. We also deliver to Legatec, Nuestra Señora de Butarque, Prado Overa and the Ciudad del Automóvil. The neighbouring towns of Alcorcón, Fuenlabrada and Getafe, as well as the Madrid districts of Carabanchel, Latina and Villaverde, can be served in the same way.
If your recipient works with delivery slots, has a goods-in office with limited opening hours or needs goods brought to a specific floor, please tell us when you book so that we can plan the right vehicle and time.
