European haulage professional, Vos Logistics, is set to continue its near decade long collaboration with Continental. The firm, which has 35 locations in Europe and regularly operates throughout the UK, is benefiting from the Conti360Âș Fleet Solutions tyre management programme.
The contract extension comes in part due to its high level of satisfaction with the services and tyre portfolio. “In order to maintain our high level of service in this cost-sensitive market, the operational reliability of the vehicles is of crucial importance to us,” says Pieter Derksen, Purchasing Manager at Vos Logistics. “Thanks to data-driven maintenance, our tyres are always ready for use, which allows us to focus on our core business. With Continental, we are also working with a partner that shares our values of efficiency and sustainability.”
Vos Logistics is an expert in a wide variety of customer-specific logistics services. The company handles transportation from bulk goods to end-customer deliveries. Since mid-2024, the provider has relied on the Conti360° Fleet Solutions tyre management system for its entire fleet of more than 1,100 vehicles. In particular, the close network of more than 7,000 Continental partner workshops in 25 European countries ensures optimum fleet reliability for the company. The average downtime after a flat tyre in 2024 was just two and a half hours across Europe.
“The cooperation with Vos Logistics is characterised by mutual trust and shared values,” says Jessika Hoeflich, Head of Fleet Solutions EMEA at Continental. “With our customer-oriented Conti360° Fleet Solutions service offering, our broad tyre portfolio and our individual consulting concept, we can optimally meet the complex requirements that Vos Logistics faces in the transport business. We work closely together and support our customers in developing their business sustainably.”
With the Conti360° kilometre contract and customer-specific reporting, Vos Logistics benefits from full cost transparency and the advantages of predictive maintenance. The freight forwarder uses a broad portfolio of premium tyres to individually equip its fleet for the very different operational requirements in regional and long-distance transport. This enables Vos Logistics to achieve the greatest possible operational safety, use the full-service life of the tyres and reduce the overall CO2 emissions of the vehicles. “When it comes to new developments, we always opt for green logistics services and technologies that reduce both our CO2 emissions and our energy consumption,” adds Pieter Derksen. In addition to fuel-saving tyres from Continental, this also includes alternative drive systems. The first cities in the Netherlands are now exclusively permitting access with zero-emission vehicles. “In regional transport, ten of our vehicles already run on electricity and hydrogen.”
Emission-free city centres are a step towards climate-neutral cities. Continental is aiming for climate neutrality along the entire value chain by 2050 at the latest. Tyres such as the new Conti EfficientPro 5 with increased load index and reinforced belt layers are optimally designed for electrically powered commercial vehicles. “With our
partner Continental, we no longer have to worry about our tyre management,” says Pieter Derksen with satisfaction. “Continental is on hand to advise us on all tyre issues and with Conti360° Fleet Solutions, we are optimally positioned to deal with future tyre-related challenges.”
