Delivery · Namur
Our partner couriers in Namur load your goods at the warehouse, the central kitchen or the wholesaler and hand them to your customers, whether they run a shop on the rue de Fer, a restaurant in the centre or a business in Gembloux, Andenne or Sambreville.
Namur’s pedestrian zone opens to deliveries at only three times of day, and cameras read the number plates there. From the moment you book, we place each handover in the window its address allows; if none can be kept, we tell you straight away and the handover moves to the next morning.
Namur’s rules
On 26 April 2024 the Walloon Parliament repealed the low-emission zone that was to cover the whole region. A Namur LEZ could only come from a proposal by the municipality, put to the Walloon Government, and no low-emission zone restricts which vehicles can enter Namur. When your round loads in Brussels, Antwerp or Ghent, we send a vehicle allowed into that city’s LEZ, with no pass.
Loading and unloading in the pedestrian zone is allowed only from 5am to 7:30am, from 9am to 11:30am and from 5:30pm to 8pm, seven days a week, hours set around the times students fill the streets. Outside those windows, ANPR cameras have read number plates since 20 September 2022, and the owner of an unauthorised vehicle receives an administrative fine.
The city is extending the pedestrian zone street by street, on a timetable that runs until the works end, expected in late 2029; the rue de Fer and the 4 Coins crossroads are scheduled for 2028. The added streets keep the same three windows, and when a street is closed by the works, deliveries are made from an existing or temporary loading bay as close to the site as possible.
You can unload wherever stopping and parking are allowed, including the zones painted red, reserved for stopping from 7:30am to 11:30am. The purple zones also take deliveries with a free 30-minute ticket, two a day at least an hour apart, and the centre’s 15 drop-off zones can be used for loading as well as unloading.
Six loading bays are reserved for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, at any hour, on the one-way loop roads around the centre: rue J. Saintraint, place Saint-Aubain, two on the rue de Bruxelles, avenue F. Golenvaux and rue Pepin. A vehicle longer than 12 metres does not enter the city centre without permission from the police and the Mobility department, as there is no room to turn.
The city centre has been a 30 km/h zone since 2011, and in the pedestrian zone the limit is 5 km/h. Over short distances, those speeds and the windows are what set the length of a round; our planning and routing algorithms allow for them when they fix the time of each handover.
Local rules checked in October 2026.
Namur and its district
In Namur, the question is hardly ever distance. The district is compact, but its pedestrian zone takes deliveries at set times: three windows a day, cameras reading number plates outside them, a 30 km/h zone all around, and a pedestrian zone gaining new streets until the works end, expected in late 2029. There is no low-emission zone, though. So in Namur, a delivery succeeds or fails on its timing.
Your goods never pass through a depot or a sorting centre: the vehicle we reserve for you loads them at your premises and keeps them on board until handover. In Namur, that might be a warehouse in Gembloux restocking shops in the centre, a wholesaler supplying the city’s restaurants, or a part a workshop in Andenne or Sambreville is waiting for.
Your jobs almost always have several addresses. We bring them together in a multi-drop round whose order follows the windows: the pedestrian-zone addresses while it is open to deliveries, the others in between. That is also how our same-day delivery works, with a vehicle chosen for your volume, from a van to a 20 m³ lorry.
Most of what we do is refrigerated transport, chilled or frozen, and almost always as a round. Central kitchens, food wholesalers and caterers produce at night; restaurants, shops and supermarkets want their deliveries before they open to the public. Our night deliveries collect as production ends, and Namur has a window made for them: the pedestrian zone opens to deliveries from 5am.
A street closed by the pedestrian-zone works, a shop still shut at the planned time, a recipient nobody can reach: our team deals with it, tells whoever needs to know and finds the fix. For your staff, the real cost of a delivery is that follow-up, far more than the journey; we keep it on our side. Someone answers from 6am to 10pm, every day of the week.
Namur is as much a starting point as a destination: a warehouse in the district supplying the city, or a round that loads in Namur and carries on to Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent or elsewhere in Wallonia. We deliver anywhere in Belgium.
What we do in Namur
Same-day delivery and refrigerated transport each have a page for Namur: the first because an order placed today has to find one of the pedestrian zone’s three windows, the second because refrigerated rounds leave at night to deliver before opening time. Our other services run here as they do in the rest of Belgium.
An order placed in the morning is handed over within the day: between 9am and 11:30am or between 5:30pm and 8pm when the address is in the pedestrian zone.

No. In 2024, before it came into force, Wallonia repealed the low-emission zone that was to cover the whole region, and no low-emission zone restricts which vehicles can enter Namur. If a rule were ever to apply, it would come from a proposal by the municipality to the Walloon Government.
When the collection is in Brussels, Antwerp or Ghent, the vehicle we send is allowed into that starting point’s LEZ; there is nothing for you to arrange.
From 5am to 7:30am, from 9am to 11:30am and from 5:30pm to 8pm, every day, including in the streets the city is adding to the pedestrian zone. When you book, we choose the right window for each address and tell you which it is. If none can be kept the same day, the handover is set for the next morning, and you know before you confirm.
It unloads at one of the six bays permanently reserved for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, on rue J. Saintraint, place Saint-Aubain, rue de Bruxelles, avenue F. Golenvaux and rue Pepin. Anything longer than 12 metres needs specific permission to enter the city centre, so we pick a vehicle that suits every address on the round.
Yes. We collect at night or before dawn from the wholesaler or the central kitchen, and the round enters the pedestrian zone during its first window, from 5am to 7:30am: your customers there are delivered before they open to the public.
