RS Transport

What RS Transport does

RS Transport (legally RS Transports) is a French privately held freight transport company headquartered at 97 Rue Nicolas Jacques Conte, Verneuil-sur-Avre (Eure department, Normandy), founded in 2003 and operating under SIRET 45086917700045. The company specializes in urgent and personalized express freight transport, with a service range covering single parcels through shipments of up to 99 pallets, and serves industrial verticals including automotive, aeronautics, construction/metalworking, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and general non-food industrial sectors. The legal mentions identify Refik Sahin as the publication responsible, consistent with founder/owner-led management and no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership.

The operating model is built on a diversified in-house fleet spanning seven vehicle categories — light commercials (VL 2.2t, VL 3.5t), medium trucks (Porteur 7.4t, Porteur 12t), heavy trucks (Porteur 26t with crane), and semi-trailers (Semi 44t) — with payload capacities ranging from 600 kg to 27,000 kg and volumes from 2.5 m³ to 100 m³. The fleet is Euro 5-6 compliant, drivers are trained in eco-conduite, and the company holds Crit'Air Paris vignettes and authorization for non-hazardous waste transport. A newly launched Manutention-Grutage-Rampe service adds a 26t crane truck with 15m reach and 1.14t-5.7t lifting capability, extending the offering into specialized handling and lifting operations.

RS Transport operates a direct-to-customer, transaction-fee revenue model: customers request quotes via the company website or by phone (02 32 38 13 21) and are charged per shipment based on distance, weight, volume, and service requirements (standard, express, tailgate, crane). Distribution is single-country/domestic, primarily Normandy-based, with no intermediary channels, no app, no API, and minimal digital marketing. The company holds no disclosed patents, partnerships, awards, certifications, or external funding.
