The multi-country road transport required precise coordination, specialized handling, and close collaboration with medical equipment partners
Kopf & Lübben GmbH, a Coop member in Hamburg, Bremen, and Frankfurt, Germany, recently completed a complex door-to-door transport of five fully equipped Toyota Landcruiser ambulances to Tbilisi, Georgia. The airfreight export team took over to organize this shipment. While the route itself was demanding, the mission behind it made the project especially significant: delivering lifesaving medical solutions to where they are urgently needed.
Each ambulance was outfitted with advanced medical technology, and the vehicles carried critical onboard systems, including ventilators, defibrillators, patient monitors, and other emergency-response equipment designed for immediate deployment in the field.
Although airfreight would normally be the preferred mode, the team took a solution-first approach. “While we’d usually prefer cargo flying, we wanted to make sure that our client receives the best solution possible, and in this case, it was taking it on the road,” explained Adam Hoffmann, Project Manager at Kopf + Lübben.
The ambulances themselves were professionally converted by Royax, the specialist manufacturer responsible for transforming the Toyota chassis into fully functional emergency vehicles. Coordinating multiple stakeholders across borders required precise planning, reliable partners, and constant communication. What truly set this project apart was collaboration. By leveraging strong relationships with local specialists and trusted partners along the route, Kopf + Lübben ensured smooth execution from pickup to final delivery in Tbilisi.
“This project shows what’s possible when logistics expertise, local knowledge, and the right partnerships come together,” Mr. Hoffman noted. “It’s about more than transport, it’s about enabling healthcare where it matters most.”
Congratulations to Kopf + Lübben for this remarkable achievement and all the best for their future endeavours!
