What Trøndelag Bilhjelp AS does
Trøndelag Bilhjelp AS is a Norwegian roadside assistance and vehicle recovery company operating under the Redgo brand (formerly Falck redning) with five branches across Trøndelag county — Trondheim, Orkanger, Stjørdal, Verdal/Levanger, and Steinkjer — providing 24/7/365 service. The company was founded around 1993 and has built a 30+ year track record in vehicle recovery, including heavy convoy and truck rescue using a modern fleet of MAN, Volvo, Scania, and Mercedes vehicles with capacities up to 30 tonnes, 8x8 and 6x6 off-road recovery units, air cushion recovery systems, and TMA buffer vehicles for high-speed road safety. Beyond core vehicle recovery, the company operates a diversified service portfolio including boat rescue, vehicle impoundment for police and municipalities, an animal shelter cooperating with Mattilsynet, home security and lockout services, lost property handling, and wildlife patrol for Malvik municipality.
The business generates revenue primarily through per-incident transaction fees under channel-partner agreements with NAF (Norges Automobil-Forbund), SOS Veihjelp, and Redgo — the company's parent entity and data controller — which dispatch the company for their members. Secondary revenue streams include direct consumer calls via 24/7 on-call phone lines, police and municipal contracts for impoundment and wildlife services, insurance company referrals, and government contracts such as the Mattilsynet animal shelter cooperation. The company holds a wholly-owned subsidiary, Trøndelag Bilhjelp Trondheim AS, and operates as a private Norwegian limited company (AS) under Org.nr 886 768 052. GTM is hybrid: channel-partner-led for the majority of demand, with direct-to-consumer fulfillment via phone and online booking form for non-member customers.

Trøndelag Bilhjelp AS competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Statens Vegvesen (Norwegian Public Roads Administration): Government roads authority that contracts towing and incident-management services and regulates roadside operations. Sets the regulatory environment in which Trøndelag Bilhjelp operates and is a comparable buyer of road-incident services.
- Gjensidige Forsikring: One of Norway's largest insurers with roadside assistance programs for policyholders. Acts as both a customer referral source and an indirect competitor via preferred-provider networks for vehicle recovery.
- If Skadeforsikring: Major Nordic insurer that arranges roadside assistance for policyholders. Not a direct operator but a key buyer of vehicle recovery services; shapes demand flow and competes indirectly through in-house or preferred-provider arrangements.
Direct peers
- Viking (Viking Redningstjeneste): Major Nordic roadside assistance and vehicle recovery provider operating across Norway. Directly competes in the same core product category (towing, accident recovery, roadside aid) with similar 24/7 dispatch model and similar club/insurance partnerships.
- NAF (Norges Automobil-Forbund): Norway's largest automobile association and a primary channel partner to Trøndelag Bilhjelp. Operates its own roadside assistance program and dispatches to member-clubs, overlapping directly in service category and customer base even though it also acts as a partner.
- SOS Veihjelp: Roadside assistance provider associated with NAF that dispatches rescue work to Trøndelag Bilhjelp in some areas. Offers the same product (vehicle recovery dispatch) to Norwegian motorists, making it a direct functional competitor despite the partnership overlap.
Broad incumbents
- Falck Danmark / Falck A/S: Larger European emergency-services and roadside assistance operator that historically ran Norwegian operations under the Falck redning brand before transitioning to Redgo. Provides the same category of service at much broader geographic and operational scale.
- Redgo Norway AS: Parent company of Trøndelag Bilhjelp and the national brand under which it operates (formerly Falck redning). Operates across Norway with overlapping rescue capabilities; broader geographic footprint and resources, but functions partly as channel partner rather than pure competitor.
