Oregon is taking a new step at the heart of European transit transport: our Nuremberg authorised consignor facility is now open. Located just 3.6 km from the AS 91 Altdorf/Burgthann exit on the A3/E56 motorway, the facility allows carriers operating on the Turkey–Europe corridor to complete their NCTS transit procedures without deviating from their route.
What Is an Authorised Consignor Facility, and Why Does It Matter?
Authorised consignor (Zugelassener Versender) status allows transit declarations to be opened at an approved facility rather than at the customs office. Vehicles no longer wait in line at customs compounds — T1 and T2 transit documents are issued on site and trucks continue on their way. The result: shorter waiting times, lower operating costs, and predictable trip planning.
Combined with the NCTS infrastructure Oregon has been developing since 2011, this status makes cross-border transport at our Nuremberg facility faster from end to end.
Location: On Europe’s Busiest Transit Motorway
The new facility sits 3.6 km from the AS 91 Altdorf/Burgthann exit on the A3/E56 — Europe’s busiest long-distance transit motorway. With a direct motorway connection, traffic-light-free entry and exit, and infrastructure built for heavy goods vehicles, the site was positioned specifically for truck traffic.
Once on the motorway, you can head in either direction without ever leaving it:
Southeast: The Turkey Corridor
The A3 southeast direction runs via Regensburg and Passau straight to the Austrian border at Suben. From there, the route continues through Hungary, Serbia, and Bulgaria for uninterrupted transit to Türkiye. For vehicles running toward Kapıkule, the facility sits directly on the route.
Northwest: The Netherlands and Benelux
The same motorway extends northwest via Frankfurt, Cologne, and Düsseldorf to the Dutch border at Elten. The Arnhem–Amsterdam corridor provides single-motorway access to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Three Strategic Connection Points
1. AS 91 Altdorf/Burgthann — 3.6 km
The facility’s main connection. Direct entry to and exit from the A3 puts vehicles on the transit corridor within minutes.
2. AS 90 Altdorf-Nord — 3.4 km
A full two-way interchange on the A3 with entry and exit ramps in both directions. The ramps connect to the St 2239 state road running beneath the motorway, providing direct access to Altdorf bei Nürnberg and the Feucht & Nuremberg settlements.
3. Kreuz Nürnberg-Ost (A3 × A9) — 15.2 km
Just 15.2 km of uninterrupted motorway away, the Nürnberg-Ost interchange features an overfly viaduct that transfers heavy vehicles from the A3 Regensburg direction onto the A9 without slowing them down on the ramps. Via the A9:
- North: Berlin, Bayreuth, Leipzig, Potsdam — connections to Poland and Czechia
- South: Munich, Ingolstadt, the Alps, Innsbruck — connections to Italy and Switzerland
A single facility thus offers access to four European corridors: Turkey–Balkans, Benelux–Netherlands, Poland–Czechia, and Italy–Switzerland.
What Does This Mean for Carriers?
- No route deviation: The facility sits directly on the main Turkey–Europe transit corridor; there is no need to detour into the city or a customs compound to open a T1.
- Time savings: Thanks to authorised consignor status, transit declarations are opened on site and vehicles are not held up.
- Built for heavy vehicles: Traffic-light-free entry and exit plus a direct motorway connection eliminate manoeuvring and waiting losses.
- Two-way advantage: Fleets running both southeast (Türkiye) and northwest (Benelux) are served from the same point.
