Smart trucking: we use efficiency and technology to reinvent Europe’s trucking industry.
Ontruck was founded in order to make trucking simple and transparent, giving back control to shippers and carriers by developing technologies that will make the road freight experience smooth and efficient.
We do this by drastically reducing the amount of empty kilometers travelled by goods vehicles, therefore optimizing their use and occupancy. Thanks to our product, hauliers secure loads more easily and companies who send shipments can do so quickly and comfortably. All this while contributing to conserving the environment by reducing CO2 emissions and creating a World Without Waste.
Ontruck is backed by French, British, German and Spanish investors, who are looking to reinvent the freight transport sector.
Awarded by Bloomberg for the BloombergNEF Pioneer 2021, we are the first Spanish company to ever receive this award and the only European company in the rankings this edition.
