What ATS Transport does

ATS Transport BV is a private, family-owned Dutch transport and logistics company headquartered in Wijchen near Nijmegen, Netherlands. The company provides an integrated portfolio of services spanning domestic and cross-border parcel delivery, express courier, temperature-controlled and cooled transport, overnight (night) transport, pallet transport, fine-mesh distribution, storage, crossdocking, and full logistics outsourcing. Its customer base is horizontally segmented across B2B clients — including manufacturing, retail, and niche SMBs such as sports-equipment supplier MLA Sporttape — and individual consumers across the Netherlands and eight European countries (Italy, Slovenia, England, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Germany).

Technically, ATS operates a modern, increasingly electrified fleet that includes the first electric Ford motorwagen in the world, CNG-powered vehicles for international routes, controlled-atmosphere vehicles for refrigerated cargo, and HVO-100 fossil-free fuel adopted in Q4 2024. A track-and-trace system provides real-time shipment monitoring. The company has committed to full sustainability by 2028 and is participating in the Stadslogistieke Hub Venlo to support the city's zero-emission zone effective 1 January 2027. Certifications include NIWO (required for international road transport), 2 Lean & Green Stars (October 2024), MVO CSR certificate (2022), ISO standards, and Erkend Leerbedrijf (recognized training company) status.

The business runs on a direct, transaction-fee model: customers contact ATS via phone, email, or an online form, and planners issue custom quotes based on distance, weight, and service level, with no public pricing tiers. Distribution is entirely direct with no resellers or intermediaries. GTM is sales-led with 24/7 availability, emphasizing custom solutions per shipment, transparent pricing, and personal contact across both SMB and enterprise clients in the Nijmegen region and beyond.
