Overview

Trunkrs focuses on same-day and next-day parcel delivery for the ecommerce sector, targeting premium webshops. The company uses existing delivery trucks and distribution centres to reduce its environmental footprint and speed deliveries. It is working to electrify partners' vehicle fleets while keeping its own footprint small. Trunkrs is one of the Netherlands' leading delivery partners to premium ecommerce players; many webshops, including Mediamarkt, use its services. The startup expanded into Flanders in 2021 and plans to strengthen its market leadership in the Netherlands and across the Benelux. The company is pursuing growth while embedding sustainability into its parcel-delivery operations. Founded in 2015, Trunkrs provides same-day, next-day and scheduled delivery services to webshops using an asset-light network of commuting delivery partners. The company emphasizes sustainability, aiming for 100% emission-free parcel delivery by 2022 and using software for dynamic planning and full-chain delivery insights. Trunkrs reports 99% on-time deliveries and the highest Trustpilot score among Dutch delivery providers, and saw 500% growth in 2019 with continued steep growth in 2020. Its model increases existing vehicle utilization by ~30%, making electrification financially attractive, and it has partnerships with Eindhoven University of Technology and Dutch logistics incubators. The business plans to use new funding to further decarbonize operations and expand its services globally.
