Norsk Biltransport

What Norsk Biltransport does

Norsk Biltransport AS is a Norwegian specialty logistics provider that transports cars on behalf of both private customers and businesses. Founded in May 2014 by brothers Patrick and Philip van der Werve and headquartered in Minnesund, the company runs a nationwide network of nine terminals across Norway and a regular car transport route between Oslo and Göteborg with on-demand service to other Swedish cities. Service tiers include consolidation transport (Samlasting), express dedicated-truck transport (Ekspresstransport), and time-specified transport (Tidsbestemt), complemented by a Kundepanel web portal that delivers GPS tracking and photo documentation at pickup and delivery.

Operationally, Norsk Biltransport uses a fleet of custom-built car transport trucks each carrying up to 10 vehicles, supported by an in-house logistics platform, GPS-based position tracking, and an online price calculator and booking system. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and Fair Transport certifications and was recognized as a 2019 Gasellebedrift by Dagens Næringsliv. Performance disclosures include a 0.1% damage rate and a 5-day nationwide average delivery time (7 days for southern Norway routes). Subcontractors supplement core fleet capacity during peak demand, and partnerships with Falck, Viking, and NAF Veihjelp enable home delivery of vehicles to customer addresses.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on car transport orders, with ancillary fees for winching non-operational vehicles (4,375 NOK), attendance (1,200 NOK), cancellations (600 NOK), and extended loading/unloading time (1,500 NOK per hour beyond 15 minutes), as well as parking fees at terminals (100 NOK per day). Private customers prepay via Norwegian netbank or Vipps, while business customers can be invoiced subject to credit assessment. Cross-sell relationships include Billagring car storage and Understellsbehandling underbody treatment through partner sites.

Broad incumbents

• DSV: One of the world's largest transport and logistics companies, headquartered in Denmark with deep Nordic and European operations. Offers dedicated automotive logistics solutions (finished vehicle transport, yard management, sequencing) as part of a much broader portfolio, directly overlapping with Norsk Biltransport's dealer and fleet transport work but at global scale.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global logistics giant with a substantial automotive vertical covering finished vehicle logistics, dealer logistics, and yard operations. A typical 'broad incumbent' peer — overlapping capabilities positioned against a much wider supply-chain portfolio.
• Höegh Autoliners: Norwegian-founded global leader in finished vehicle ocean transport (RoRo vessels). Adjacent rather than direct — sea-based rather than road-based — but serves the same automotive customer set (OEMs, dealers, leasing companies) and demonstrates what's possible at scale in vehicle-only logistics.
• DB Schenker: Global logistics provider (part of Deutsche Bahn) with a dedicated automotive logistics unit covering finished vehicle transport, dealer logistics, and yard operations. Comparable on the auto-carrier side, but typically bundled with much larger warehousing and supply-chain contracts.

Direct peers

• Girteka: Lithuanian-headquartered, one of Europe's largest road transport operators with 9,000+ trucks; runs a substantial automotive transport operation moving cars for dealers, leasing companies, and manufacturers across Northern and Eastern Europe. Directly comparable model — asset-heavy road transport of finished vehicles with similar B2B customers — but at vastly greater scale.

Regional players

• Bring (PostNord Norge): Largest Norwegian domestic parcel and logistics carrier, owned by PostNord. While primarily a parcel/light-freight carrier, Bring also operates heavier logistics services including automotive transport for dealers and corporate fleets, making it the closest Norwegian peer by geography and customer overlap.
• Blue Water Shipping: Danish-headquartered logistics provider with a strong Nordic footprint and dedicated automotive logistics team. Comparable as a Scandinavian-headquartered multi-modal logistics firm competing for the same dealer and fleet customers, though with broader service breadth.
• PostNord: Sweden-based postal and logistics group operating across the Nordics. Provides road transport and logistics including finished vehicle services to commercial customers in the same geography Norsk targets for its Sweden extension, representing a likely future competitor across the Oslo–Göteborg corridor.
