Our Fleet

The fleet of Van der Haas Transport consists of modern material equipped with state-of-the-art technology: phone, on board computer, track and trace, temperature logging, blind spot detection, and data communication. All our trucks are equipped to provide the desired comfort level, so both driver and cargo can have a safe and pleasant journey.

Because the needs of transport conditions and environmental control are increasingly specific, all our trucks are equipped to keep products under constant temperature and humidity. Van der Haas only uses vehicles and temperature control systems that meet the toughest standards. All our trucks, trailers and semi-trailers have a tail lift so there is no forklift needed for loading and unloading.

Van der Haas chooses to invest in the future. Every year a couple of trucks will be replaced. Van der Haas aims at working with a fleet complying the latest demands in emission and environmental requirements.
