A note before you read. This is a personal recommendation. I am not an EV Cargo employee, partner, reseller, or affiliate, and I receive no commission, kickback, or compensation of any kind for this post. I'm writing it because the experience has genuinely been good, and I think other people running similar operations would benefit from knowing about them. The contact form below sends an email straight to the EV Cargo team (and copies me in) — that's it.
Why I'm writing this
I spend most of my time in software. The world of physical things — containers, trailers, customs forms, port handling — used to be a black box I respected from a distance. For the past year, the company I work with has leaned heavily on EV Cargo for the unglamorous, mission-critical part of the operation: getting things where they need to be, on time, with the paperwork right[1].
In twelve months, I have not had a single issue. Not one container delayed in customs. Not one missed pickup. Not one quote that came in wildly different from what was actually delivered. That is not marketing copy — that is the actual record.
A lot of that comes down to a friend on the inside who has been the glue, and the wider team behind her. They operate the way good engineering teams operate: they tell you what is possible, what is not, and what it will cost. They surface problems early instead of letting them turn into emergencies. They do not oversell.
For a software studio that occasionally needs physical things to move across borders, having a logistics partner you do not have to manage is genuinely valuable. I get to focus on building. They make the world-of-atoms part feel like the world-of-bits.
Why I think it was the best decision
A few things stand out, in plain terms:
- They pick up the phone. Whatever has gone sideways — a port closure, a customs hold, a sudden volume change — there is always a human at the end of a line, not a ticket queue.
- They cover the whole stack. I do not have to coordinate three different vendors for shipping, customs, and warehousing. One partner, one invoice, one point of contact.
- The technology actually works. Their platform — ONE EV Cargo — is the bit a software person notices first[3]. Tracking, document management, ERP hooks. None of the early-2000s freight-forwarder UX you sometimes get.
- They are properly global. Operations across 25 countries, 100+ locations, serving 150 countries means the answer to "can you handle this lane?" has so far always been yes[2].
That is a year's worth of experience, condensed.
What EV Cargo actually does
Most people hear "logistics" and picture a truck. EV Cargo is significantly broader than that. They publish all of this themselves, but most people do not dig past the homepage, so I have laid it out as tabs below. Click through to see what each part covers, with the actual deep links to their site.
Air & Sea Freight
110,000 tonnes air · 350,000 TEU sea / year
International air and sea freight forwarding with the network and capacity to handle anything from a single pallet to a regular full-container programme. The bit you'd expect from a global forwarder — done properly, with no surprises in the paperwork.
- →Door-to-door air freight, consolidation and charter
- →FCL and LCL ocean freight, weekly sailings on major lanes
- →Multimodal sea-air solutions where speed matters and budget bends
- →Real-time tracking through the ONE EV Cargo platform

Industries they serve
If you are trying to figure out whether your sector is one they actively work in, this is the short version:
- Consumer — including a dedicated Fashion logistics practice, which is rarer than you might think among integrated forwarders.
- Industrial — manufacturing, automotive, heavy goods.
- Specialist — temperature-controlled freight, hazardous goods, project logistics.
