The Bertschi Group has proudly welcomed its 1,500th DAF truck into its fleet – a New Generation DAF 480 FT 4×2 tractor, set to reinforce the company’s reputation for timely, safe, and efficient chemical distribution across Europe. The DAF XF was selected for its high efficiency, advanced safety features, and driver comfort, qualities that Bertschi has valued from its extensive experience with the DAF brand.

Founded in 1956 in Dürrenäsch, Switzerland, Bertschi is a family-owned market leader in intermodal transportation of chemicals by rail, road, and water, as well as a global provider of ISOtank and value-added logistics services for the chemical sector. With a robust fleet of 1,000 trucks, including 46,000 tank and dry-bulk containers, Bertschi has long trusted DAF trucks to support its complex logistics network.

The latest DAF truck will operate throughout Europe, enhancing Bertschi’s ability to deliver first and last-mile solutions within its intermodal network. “These DAF trucks are vital to our commitment to sustainability and integrated transport,” said Hans-Jörg Bertschi, executive chairman of Bertschi’s board of directors. “The New Generation DAF XF is both reliable and efficient, with state-of-the-art safety features that align with our highest safety standards. Our drivers also appreciate the comfort of the cabins, and the truck’s compatibility with HVO and biodiesel is key to our sustainability goals.”

DAF’s long-standing partnership with Bertschi reflects the mutual commitment of both companies to safe, efficient, and environmentally conscious transport solutions. “We are honoured that Bertschi, a leader in chemical transport, has once again chosen DAF trucks for its operations,” said Bart Bosmans, DAF Trucks’ director of marketing & sales. “Our goal is to deliver top-tier trucks with unmatched customer service, and we’re proud to support Bertschi’s mission of safe, timely, and sustainable logistics.”

The addition of the 1,500th DAF truck to Bertschi’s fleet is a testament to the company’s dedication to innovation and excellence, fortifying its role as a leader in European chemical logistics.
