Using the positive experience, Bertschi again chooses the new generation DAF
The Bertschi Group proudly received its 1,500th DAF. This new generation DAF XF 480 FT 4×2 tractor unit joins the international Bertschi fleet, ensuring the timely distribution of chemicals throughout Europe. Based on extensive experience with new generation DAF vehicles, Bertschi chose the DAF XF for its outstanding efficiency, safety and driver comfort.
Founded in 1956 in Dürrenesh, Switzerland, Bertschi is a family-owned company and the European market leader in the combined transport of chemicals by rail, road and water. In addition, it is a well-known global supplier of ISOtank transportation and additional logistics services for the chemical industry. The company owns more than 46,000 tanks and bulk containers and operates a fleet of 1,000 trucks, most of which are DAF.
“Reliable and efficient truck”
The 1,500th DAF truck ordered by Bertschi will have routes throughout Europe. Hans-Jörg Bertschi, Executive Chairman of the Bertschi Board of Directors, expressed his enthusiasm for the DAF XF. “These DAF trucks play a critical role in ensuring efficient first and last mile delivery within Bertschi’s intermodal operations, complementing the company’s focus on sustainable and integrated transport solutions. The new generation DAF has proven itself to be reliable and highly efficient. Our drivers appreciate luxurious and comfortable cabs.” Hans-Jörg Berchi continues: “In addition, the complete suite of state-of-the-art safety systems perfectly meets our highest standards for safe transportation. In addition, the new generation DAF can run on HVO and biodiesel. This is extremely important as it gives us greater flexibility to use renewable fuel sources, supporting our efforts towards a more sustainable future.”
“DAF is a long-standing reliable partner of Bertschi. We are proud that this leading chemical transport company has chosen our DAF XF to ensure on-time deliveries,” says Bart Bosmans, DAF Trucks Marketing and Sales Director and Board Member. “We offer the most efficient, safe and comfortable trucks on the market, and we also focus on excellent customer service. We are honored that Bertschi recognizes our commitment to these principles.”
