TCR Groep

What TCR Groep does

TCR Groep is a privately held Dutch family-owned multimodal transportation group headquartered in Raalte, Overijssel. Founded in 1983 as a taxi operator, the company has grown into a diversified mobility platform operating seven brand lines: TCR Taxi/Vervoer (standard taxi, Wmo social transport, student transport, wheelchair-accessible transport), TCR Tours (touringcar and coach hire from luxury Mercedes Vito Tourers up to 90-person Van Hool double-deckers), TCR Autoverhuur and Camperverhuur Salland (passenger cars, vans, VW T5/T6-based S(m)allander campers), TCR Exclusief Vervoer (executive Audi A8L and VIP coach), TCR Classics (wedding-classic VW T1 Sambas), and the regional RideNow Taxi Deventer brand. The group also retains the Sickman Touringcarvervoer, Sickman Taxivervoer, and Correct Monnereau brands in Vroomshoop and Raalte respectively following acquisitions completed between February 2019 and June 2022.

The company's revenue is generated through six streams: recurring public-procurement contracts for Wmo and learner transport (e.g., Gemeente Raalte and Gemeente Hardenberg), transactional taxi fares including airport and executive trips, touringcar rental for groups and corporate clients, car/camper rental, classic-car wedding hire, and VIP transport. Customers split across municipalities, professional football clubs (Go Ahead Eagles, HHC Hardenberg), the regional education institution Aventus, healthcare dialysis/radiotherapy patients, and individual consumers. Distribution is multi-channel: public procurement (aanbesteding), direct enterprise sales, mobile apps for iOS and Android, web booking portals per brand, and central phone reservations.

Fleet technology and infrastructure form a key strategic axis: 40 new Peugeot E-Expert electric minibuses (March 2025), 60+ green-gas school minibuses supported by a co-developed Orange Gas refueling station in Deventer, the first VW Crafter E-Crafter electric wheelchair bus (2021), Tesla Model 3 taxis and VW ID.3 EVs, 30 Mercedes-Benz Sprinters with advanced driver assistance, 88-person Setra and 90-person Van Hool double-deckers, all recharged in part by 160+ solar panels at the Raalte HQ. In October 2024 TCR became the first Dutch transport operator to deploy the Neone Mobitab CDT cloud-based dispatch system compliant with the ILT Praktijktoets framework. Certifications include ISO 9001 (TCR Tours, audited by Kiwa Register), TX Keur, and ANVR safety compliance. The company is led by third-generation owners Marc and Bas Roescher and operates with no disclosed external institutional investors.
