What GT Solutions does

GT Solutions is a French transport and logistics company founded in 1946 and headquartered in Bassens near Bordeaux, specializing in industrial vehicle rental with professional drivers. The company operates a fleet of approximately 1,900 vehicles, including 1,600 heavy goods vehicles and more than 150 alternative-energy vehicles (BioGNV, electric, B100/HVO), organized around three core service lines: GT Solutions Dédié (dedicated transport outsourcing tailored to client flows), GT Solutions Réseaux Spécialisés (specialized networks for products with specific volume, regulatory, or handling constraints), and GT Link, a proprietary digital platform for traceability and operational reporting. Supporting these is the in-house École du Conducteur driver training school (founded 1987, operated with AFTRAL) and the LUCIE internal driver app for eco-driving performance tracking.

GT Solutions serves enterprise and mid-market B2B clients across eight verticals: automotive, construction materials distribution, food distribution, agri-food, industry, healthcare, ready-mix concrete/major works, and furniture delivery and assembly. Its go-to-market is primarily direct field sales with a website-driven inquiry funnel, augmented by 24-48h rapid driver deployment as a key differentiator addressing France's chronic driver shortage. The company is privately held, family-owned (95% family shareholders, 5% employees via a share program dating to 1993), and reports revenue of approximately €230M as of March 2025, employing roughly 1,900-2,100 people across France.

The business model is asset-heavy managed services: clients outsource vehicle-and-driver capacity on quote-based pricing that varies by vehicle type (19T, 26T, semi-trailers, crane, refrigerated, flatbed, vans), duration, amplitude, and zone. Revenue is generated through dedicated long-term outsourcing, short-term reinforcement, one-off missions, and full transport outsourcing. The company has invested in sustainability (targeting 15% CO2 reduction across the fleet by 2025, ESG and EcoVadis labels) and digital tooling (GT Link and LUCIE) to differentiate, and it is actively positioning for fleet decarbonization via ADEME subsidies and European hydrogen corridor projects.
