Our take
Brenger provides a platform that connects couriers on the road (with excess space in their vehicles that are already on route) with orders for private individuals. Its solution solves two problems; individuals buying large items from online marketplaces can easily get professional transport, and couriers can fill up their trucks more efficiently.
This approach enables couriers to make more money, while also helping to reduce CO2 emissions. A milestone for the company was its partnership with Marktplaats.nl, the largest online marketplace for second-hand items in the Netherlands, which significantly broadened its reach.
Brenger is active in the Netherlands, Belgium and West Germany, with a network of over a thousand partner carriers. Growing steadily, it is well poised to achieve its aim of reducing 20,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, as it shoots for becoming the European sustainable standard for bulky goods delivery.
