TLON Wim Luijten BV

What TLON Wim Luijten BV does

TLON Wim Luijten BV operates a comprehensive transport and logistics education business from a single facility at Wouwbaan 133 in Roosendaal, Netherlands. Founded in 1990 by Cor Luijten as a small driving school and now led by his son Wim Luijten as Algemeen directeur with grandson Beau Luijten being groomed for succession, the BV is privately held with no external investors. The product portfolio spans the full EU driving license taxonomy (AM moped, A motorcycle, B car, BE car-with-trailer, C1 light truck, C truck, CE/C1E truck-with-trailer, D bus, T tractor) for individual learners, complemented by approximately 20 Code 95 professional development modules for working drivers covering VCA safety certification, ADR dangerous goods, digital tachograph, eco-driving, cargo securing, LZV long vehicles, BBS behavior-based safety, and specialized equipment operation (forklift, reach truck, aerial work platform, mobile crane, terminal tractor). The company also offers medical examinations for license renewal, TCVT-certified vertical transport training, and Klein Vaarbewijs boating license preparation launched in February 2023. Service delivery is predominantly in-person and instructor-led at the Roosendaal location, with limited e-learning components (notably a 4-hour home study unit within the Schadepreventief Rijden course) and a webshop distributing theory training materials for self-study purchasers of AM, A, B, and T license preparation.

The business operates primarily on a direct-to-consumer professional services model: revenue is generated through per-course and per-lesson fees paid by individual learners and corporate sponsors, with quote-based pricing (specific figures not publicly disclosed) and no usage-based or subscription pricing observed. Distribution is omnichannel at the marketing layer (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube) but concentrated physically in Roosendaal, augmented by referral flow from CBR and RDW as an officially authorized training provider and by event channels such as the annual DoeDag open day and 2Wieler Experience. TLON is CCV Erkend (officially recognized by Centraal Bureau CCV) to deliver Code 95 qualifications under EU Directive 2003/59/EC, and is registered as a CRKBO-recognized professional education provider; it accepts SOOB (transport/logistics sector) and Cumela/Colland Arbeidsmarktfonds subsidies (up to €1,100 for T-rijbewijs) for eligible trainees. Reported performance metrics include 521 cumulative graduates, an 81% pass rate, a 95/100 customer rating, and 314,971 km of recorded student driving distance. The company is exploring geographic expansion through a franchise offering and operates a structurally adjacent DTL Feenstra staffing partnership (co-owned by team member Emilie Feenstra) that channels trained candidates into transport/logistics job placements.

Direct peers

• Rijschool.nl: Dutch nationwide driving school brand focused on car (B) license training with online theory and instructor matching. Comparable to TLON's private-license stream, though narrower in scope (no heavy-vehicle or Code 95).
• Verkeersschool.nl: Dutch driving school comparison/booking platform that aggregates local driving schools. Comparable as a competing channel for the same Dutch consumer driving-school demand that TLON serves.
• ANWB Rijopleiding: Largest Dutch driving school network, offering license training across categories similar to TLON's B/AM/A and truck/bus categories. Directly comparable as a multi-region driving school competitor; TLON differentiates on local Roosendaal focus and breadth of professional transport training.
• Opleidingscentrum voor het Wegvervoer: Dutch sector training center for road transport, delivering Code 95 nascholing and professional driver certifications. Direct peer to TLON's Beroepsopleidingen / Code 95 portfolio and competes for the same employer-funded training budget.
• Bak Rijopleidingen: Dutch driving school delivering license categories including car and truck/trailer combinations. Direct competitor for TLON's private and professional license streams in the broader Dutch market.

Broad incumbents

• NTI: Major Dutch distance-learning provider covering vocational, professional and hobby tracks. Comparable as an alternative channel for theory-product revenue (TLON's webshop) and adjacent professional certifications, though NTI is digital-first and national.
• NCOI: Large Dutch professional education provider offering MBO/HBO-adjacent vocational and certification programs. Overlaps with TLON on Code 95 and transport-adjacent safety certifications, but operates at much larger scale and broader scope.

Regional players

• Van den Berg Rijopleidingen: Established regional Dutch driving school focused on car and trailer license categories. Comparable offering to TLON's private license business though concentrated in a different Dutch region rather than Roosendaal.
