Ontruck Targets More Expansion with Netherlands Launch

Spanish based palletised goods platform Ontruck is to open a Netherlands office. The company will deploy its activities in five principal cities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Breda, offering short and medium transport coverage in the areas with the highest demand, concentrated around the large urban centres. To pave the way for the launch, Ontruck has already signed up hundreds of hauliers in the Netherlands to further build out its growing network of drivers across Europe. This network consists of vehicles of all types, giving particular importance to light vehicles such as vans and rigid trucks.

“Our objective is to position ourselves as the largest network for freight transport in Europe. We are incredibly excited to roll out Ontruck in what constitutes our 4th market to date after the UK and France. The domestic trucking industry in the Netherlands transports 100 million tonnes of palletised goods annually, adding major potential for our services across Europe. From a geographic perspective, the Netherlands is a natural territorial extension for Ontruck, allowing us to connect more hauliers and shippers across a broader road network in the heart of Europe. We’re excited to be covering an extra 9,000KM2 and improving the service for shippers and hauliers alike,” ensures Iñigo Juantegui, CEO and co-founder of the company.

Having closed 2018 with a turnover of €9 million, the company expects to triple this by finishing 2019 with a turnover of €27 million.
