Trucknet is a logistics and transportation company that has developed an intelligent transport optimization platform to improve fleet management for companies.
Trucknet Enterprise was chosen by the prestigious international Logistics Tech Outlook magazine and website as one of the ten leading technologies in Europe in the field of logistics and transportation for 2021. Founder and President Hanan Fridman tells the magazine that there are about 46 billion miles of empty truck rides every year on the roads in the world, which highlights the significant inefficiencies in the traditional freight management system. Trucknet’s platform aims to address this issue by reducing empty truck rides and improving the efficiency of logistics operations.
Trucknet’s intelligent transport optimization platform improves fleet management for companies by using a bidding system to fill empty trucks with efficient trips. This reduces empty truck rides and lowers the number of vehicles on the roads, which in turn reduces CO2 emissions. The platform also provides complete documentation digitization, professional navigator, tracking consignment, scheduling, and security warnings, making it a one-stop shop for logistics companies.
Trucknet was founded in Israel in 2016, and it started its business development in France with the help of seed funding from Capital Nature Investment. Within two years, the company had half a million trucks registered in the system from about 4,000 transport and logistics companies.
Fridman anticipates that the world of logistics will become autonomous in the future, and Trucknet is well-positioned to lead the way in this new era, as well as having a significant contribution to sustainability. Reducing the number of trucks on the roads reduces the amount of emissions, unnecessary fuel consumption, air pollution, and greenhouse gases. The system can serve as a milestone on the way to decarbonizing the sector, considering that 20% of global GHG emissions come from the hard-to-abate transport sector.
