  1. Variety of models: Germany offers a wide range of truck models with different features and equipment that may not be available in Spain.
  2. Competitive price: Overall, trucks in Germany are cheaper than in Spain, resulting in significant savings.

 

Homologation of the truck for circulation in Spain

 

If the truck has a European homologation code, the registration process in Spain will be simpler. However, if it comes from a non-European Union country, the process may be more complex and require additional procedures.

Importing a truck from Germany can offer numerous advantages in terms of variety and price, but it's important to consider the additional costs and homologation procedures before making a final decision.
