You’ll encounter them all over Europe, the brightly colored long-distance trucks from Convoi. The company from Maastricht (NL) specializes in exceptional transport, including delicate high-tech equipment for hospitals, semiconductor factories, and the biopharmaceutical industry. Goods must be delivered at exactly the right moment and usually require extra attention upon delivery. “Our customers demand maximum flexibility and reliability from us. That’s why we choose DAF trucks. We can rely on them.”
Convoi's fleet consists of 100 rigids and tractors, almost all of which are DAFs – many of them from the latest generation. The relationship between DAF and Convoi has been exceptionally strong for decades. And there’s a reason for that. Convoi is not a regular transport company; it moves special equipment and installations, often with time-critical schedules.
“The favorable fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions of the vehicles are important. But reliability is truly essential. And DAF never lets us down. The vehicles are exceptionally reliable, the dealer network is solid, and customer support is excellent. Just as we are always there for our customers, DAF is always there for us.”
Leon Spronken, owner of Convoi
“Our drivers are not just drivers. They are so much more than that. Our people ensure that complex, often expensive high-tech solutions are delivered and installed just in time at the right location. They consult with engineers about potential obstacles at the destination, build temporary platforms, and load and unload sensitive equipment themselves with Convoi colleagues. But they also coordinate with third parties and position MRI scanners down to the millimeter with our self-developed movers. That combination requires skills.”
“There’s nothing better than my truck. Sometimes I can’t wait over the weekend. I might even go to my DAF on Sunday. We often go on long trips for challenging assignments at Convoi. My truck is fantastic. The space. The bed. The way it drives. The comfort. The visibility all around. The power. Nothing beats a DAF. Even when the stress increases, I feel at home in it.”
