60 years of partnership with continental driving efficiency across Europe
For more than six decades, Royal Den Hartogh Logistics has worked in close partnership with Continental to strengthen fleet performance and support operational efficiency across Europe. Building on this long-standing collaboration, the company is now introducing the latest generation of Conti Eco Gen 5 tyres throughout its European operations.
With a fleet of more than 900 vehicles operating daily across the continent, Royal Den Hartogh Logistics continues to navigate growing demands around safety, cost efficiency, and sustainability. As the transport sector advances through the energy transition, the company is investing in innovations that improve operational performance while supporting emissions reduction goals.
A key focus area has been the implementation of rolling resistance optimised tyres, designed to reduce energy consumption and improve fuel efficiency. According to Peter Rodenburg, Senior Technical Manager at Royal Den Hartogh Logistics, rising energy costs make efficient energy use more important than ever, with tyre performance playing a critical role in achieving those efficiencies.
Early results from the rollout have delivered measurable benefits across operations, including:
- Up to 8 percent improvement in fuel consumption
- Strong initial results in tyre wear and overall performance
- More efficient energy usage throughout the fleet
The partnership also extends beyond tyre technology. Through smart monitoring systems and data-driven operational insights, Royal Den Hartogh Logistics continues to optimise fleet performance while building a more efficient and sustainable supply chain.
As the logistics industry continues its transition toward lower-emission operations, the company remains focused on continuous improvement alongside trusted partners. While the pace of change may differ across markets and technologies, the long-term direction remains clear: improving efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and driving sustainable progress across the supply chain.
