What Hcnp - Hytruck Consult & Partners does

HCNP - Hytruck Consult & Partners is a Dutch cooperative (Coöperatie U.A.) founded in 2020 and headquartered in Reeuwijk, Netherlands. The firm is a five-partner consulting collective of 1-10 employees focused exclusively on accelerating the transition of road freight and adjacent heavy-vehicle sectors to zero-emission powertrains. Its clients are primarily Dutch transport companies and fleet operators navigating the operational, financial and procurement decisions associated with adopting electric trucks and vans, supported by sector bodies and provincial governments as delivery partners.

The company monetizes through a curriculum of structured training and advisory programs rather than software. Its flagship product, ZETA (Zero Emissie Truck Advies), is sold to transport companies at €4,500 per participating company in open cohorts and at SOOB-subsidized in-company rates around €1,000 per employee. Adjacent offerings include ZEVA (van advisory), Inkoop (procurement advisory), and the Zero Emissie Bouw Academy, each priced at €990 per day for advisory formats. There is no platform- or SaaS-style architecture; delivery is partner-led human consulting, classroom training and procurement support.

Since launching ZETA in early 2023, HCNP reports training more than 200 transport companies cumulatively, with 80+ companies and 80+ truck-manufacturer account managers added in the most recent 18 months. The firm's market position is anchored by partner Eric Beers, who is credited with pioneering the first series of electric trucks in the Netherlands in 2012, and by formal partnerships with TLN, Zeeland Connect, Provincie Zeeland, Topsector Logistiek, Stedin, Bouwend Nederland and Impuls Zeeland. No revenue, ARR or funding figures are disclosed in the available material.
