Trunkrs is a Dutch logistics startup founded in 2015, specializing in same-day and next-day delivery services for e-commerce businesses in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium).[1][2][3] It serves medium-sized online retailers in sectors like fashion, food, health, and electronics, solving the challenge of fast, reliable, and sustainable last-mile delivery amid rising customer expectations for speed and eco-friendliness, with a 99% on-time delivery rate powered by an asset-light model using electric vehicles and partner networks.[1][2][5] Having raised over $25M in funding, including a €15M Series B in 2022 from Korys, VP Capital, and SET Ventures, Trunkrs demonstrates strong growth momentum, expanding across the Benelux while prioritizing electrification for zero-emission goals.[3][4][5]
Trunkrs was founded in 2015 in Utrecht (headquartered in Woerden), Netherlands, with a core mission to enhance sustainability in last-mile parcel delivery by leveraging existing trucks and distribution centers rather than building its own heavy assets.[3][4][5] The idea emerged from recognizing pain points in e-commerce logistics—slow, unreliable services clashing with consumer demands for speed and green options—leading to an innovative, software-driven network of courier partners.[2][6] Early traction came from partnering with premium webshops like MediaMarkt, achieving rapid growth (e.g., 500% in 2019) and expanding to Flanders in 2021, solidifying its position as a Netherlands market leader before the pivotal €15M raise to fuel Benelux dominance.[3][4]
Trunkrs rides the explosive growth of e-commerce in Europe, where same-day delivery expectations and regulatory pushes for decarbonization (e.g., EU green mandates) demand efficient last-mile innovation.[3] Its timing aligns perfectly with post-pandemic online retail surges and electrification trends, using Benelux's dense urban markets and cross-border potential to outpace traditional giants burdened by owned fleets.[2][4] By enabling local mid-sized retailers to compete sustainably, Trunkrs influences the ecosystem toward greener logistics, stimulating regional e-commerce and setting benchmarks for software-orchestrated, low-emission networks in supply chain tech.[1][3]
Trunkrs is poised to solidify Benelux leadership, leveraging its €15M+ war chest for deeper market penetration, full electrification, and potential expansion beyond current borders amid e-commerce's continued boom.[3][4] Rising trends like AI-optimized routing, stricter emissions rules, and consumer premium-delivery preferences will propel its growth, evolving its influence from regional disruptor to pan-European logistics enabler. As e-commerce trucking accelerates, Trunkrs' sustainable speed positions it to capture more of the last-mile pie, delivering reliable momentum for investors and partners alike.
Trunkrs has raised $18.6M in total across 2 funding rounds.
