Terberg Tractors Belgium

What Terberg Tractors Belgium does

Terberg Tractors Belgium BvbA is the authorized Belgian dealer and service entity for Terberg Special Vehicles, a division of Royal Terberg Group. The company sells, services, and supplies spare parts for Terberg terminal tractors (YT series, including electric variants YT203EV and YT201EV), RoRo tractors (RT series, including RT253EV electric), body carriers (BC203EV), container carriers, and road rail tractors across Belgium. It operates from a facility at Belgicastraat 8, 9042 Gent, and is constructing a new 10,000 m² building in the port of Ghent to expand local capacity. Beyond its direct dealer role, Terberg Tractors Belgium co-distributes with Konecranes Lift Trucks under a distribution agreement to extend reach into the Belgian industrial and port market.

The underlying product platform relies on Terberg Special Vehicles' proprietary technology: a Drive-by-Wire architecture integrated with ISO 13849-1/2 safety levels that enables automation and teleoperation, LFP battery systems (310/236/155 kWh variants) with thermal management for global climate suitability (ECE-R100 revision 3 certified), the Ergoturn 180° swivelling seat for operator ergonomics, and Terberg Connect telematics for fleet monitoring, remote diagnostics, and battery charging optimization. At the parent level, Terberg has co-developed Level-4 autonomous driving kits with Embotech AG, validated by TÜV SÜD and CE-marked, deployed at APM Terminals Maasvlakte II.

Terberg Tractors Belgium generates revenue primarily through hardware sales (new vehicles and OEM spare parts), supported by maintenance and repair services, vehicle rentals (diesel and electric), and recurring telematics subscriptions via Terberg Connect. Customers span ports and maritime terminals (e.g., via global parent references such as APM Terminals, DP World, Marsa Maroc), distribution and logistics (Van Moer Logistics operating 14 Terberg units for Delhaize), and waste and recycling (PreZero at its Gent sorting facility). The Belgian entity operates within a broader parent network of Service Companies and distributors covering over 100 markets globally.
