Hegelmann Special Transporte has successfully coordinated the transportation of three massive tanks, each measuring 10 meters long, 4.45 meters wide, and 4.35 meters high – total of 193.575 cubic meters. This ambitious project involved smooth collaboration with a skilled carrier and the Lithuanian manufacturing company “Traidenis”, delivering the cargo to a client in Hungary.

As Saulius from Hegelmann Special Transporte shares:
„Our company acted as the forwarding agent for this complex shipment, partnering with a skilled transport company from Poland. They provided their own trucks to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of these massive loads. In photos you can see my colleague and me, with loaded trucks in the background together with proudly displaying our company flags as they hit the road. A big thank you to everyone involved for making this journey a success!”

LTL and FTL Services for Your Business Needs 

When it comes to shipping goods, businesses often face the decision between LTL (Less than Truck Load) and FTL (Full Truck Load) services. Each option has its unique advantages depending on the volume and specific needs of the shipment.  

What is LTL? 

LTL, or Less than Truck Load, is a shipping option designed for companies that do not require a full trailer for their cargo. This service allows your shipment to share space with other goods, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution for transporting smaller loads. Instead of paying for an entire truck, your business only pays for the space your cargo occupies. This shared approach not only reduces transportation costs but also maximizes efficiency by utilizing available truck space. 

By choosing LTL services, you join a community of businesses that have embraced more sustainable shipping solutions. 

What is FTL? 

FTL, or Full Truck Load, is a shipping service where your cargo occupies the entire space of a truck. Unlike LTL, where multiple shipments share the same space, FTL dedicates an entire trailer to your goods. This method is particularly beneficial for businesses with large, high-volume shipments or time-sensitive cargo that requires direct transportation from the origin to the destination. 

Types of Trailers for LTL  

Depending on the nature of your cargo, different types of trailers are available to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of your goods: 

  • Mega Trailers: Ideal for large and oversized items that require more space. 
  • Thermo Trailers: Designed for temperature-sensitive goods, ensuring that products like food or pharmaceuticals are kept at the correct temperature throughout the journey. 
  • Curtainsider Trailers: Offer easy access from the sides, making them perfect for versatile loading and unloading processes. 

These options ensure that your specific shipping needs are met, no matter the size, temperature requirements, or loading preferences. 

Benefits of LTL Shipping 

LTL services offer several advantages, particularly for businesses with smaller shipments: 

  • Lower Shipping Costs: Since you only pay for the space your cargo occupies, LTL is often more cost-effective than FTL. This is especially beneficial for companies that do not regularly ship large volumes. 
  • Ideal for Small Shipments: LTL is perfect for businesses that ship small to medium-sized goods, allowing them to avoid the expense of booking an entire truck. 
  • Specific Delivery Addresses: LTL services can cater to precise delivery requirements, ensuring that your goods are delivered to the exact location specified, rather than a general drop-off point. 

By opting for LTL, businesses can enjoy a tailored transport solution that meets their specific needs without incurring unnecessary costs. 

How to Get Started 

If your business is looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient shipping solution, both LTL and FTL services could be the perfect fit. Whether you need to transport smaller, shared loads with LTL or require a dedicated truck for large, time-sensitive shipments with FTL, our various trailer options can accommodate your specific requirements.

Hegelmann Group is one of the most dynamically developing transport company in Europe

25 years ago, three brothers decided to set up a transport company, starting their business with two used tractor units. Today, Hegelmann Group is one of the most dynamically developing transport groups in Europe. Hegelmann Poland companies have been operating in Poland for 13 years.

Due to its location, our country has always played an important role in international trade and transport. It is no different in the context of the importance of Polish companies for the development of the entire Hegelmann Group. The scale of operations is evidenced by the fact that in Poland, over 1,000 office and service employees are employed to service the operations of the companies to deliver clients’ loads using their own 2100 trucks and over 1,500 semi-trailers.

Such a large team is needed to meet the requirements of our clients from various industries: automotive, food, chemical, FMCG, industrial production and factories, e-commerce, trade, electronics and pharmacy. These are only examples of the largest business groups with which Hegelmann cooperates throughout the European Union.

“- Each past year has presented us with difficult challenges. 2023 promises to be no different. However, I believe that thanks to our great team, business environment, our partners and business strategy, we are able to meet them. This year our group celebrates 25 years of existence, which coincides with the opening of one of our key investments in Poland – Hegelmann Hub in Żarska Wieś. I am glad that such a great jubilee will be marked in history by the opening of our modern transport base” – says Fedir Yurkevych, president of Hegelmann Poland.

An extensive base is being built in Żarska Wieś near Zgorzelec, which will provide services of a high standard, ensuring safe driving and comfortable rest for drivers. The Hegelmann Hub complex consists of office space, a hotel offering accommodation adapted to the needs of drivers, a workshop and vehicle diagnostic station, a paint shop, a car wash adapted to the dimensions of trucks and a warehouse for spare parts and tires.

Although finishing works are still underway in part of the facility, the company belonging to the group, HT Trucks & Parts, operating in this area, has opened its doors to Hegelmann trucks and other companies, not only cooperating with the company on a daily basis. All types of vehicles are serviced here, from passenger cars, through delivery vans to full service of trucks.

An equally important aspect as business growth is its quality expressed in activities related to sustainable development. Hegelmann Poland has 160 trucks powered by LNG and CNG in its fleet. Intermodal services are also being developed that reduce the carbon footprint, but at the same time are an interesting alternative for customers. In the case of taking care of the environment, it is also important that the Hegelmann Poland fleet operates tractors with an average age of 2-3 years, which is not without significance in the context of striving to reduce environmental pollution.

Hegelmann Group partners with carbon accounting specialists Emitwise to accelerate carbon neutral transition

The multinational heavy asset carrier Hegelmann is working with Emitwise, the carbon accounting platform, to increase the accuracy of their emission data to enable carbon reduction.

Founded in 1998, the Hegelmann Group have offered a wide range of transport and logistics services for nearly 25 years, serving customers from practically every industry,engineering and manufacturing, pharma and healthcare, consumer and fresh food ,electronics and high value.

The sector, responsible for around 11% of global emissions, has increasingly been under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint.

In response, Hegelmann launched its Mission Green programme in 2021 to become carbon neutral by 2045. So far, its focus has been switching to renewable energy and transitioning its large fleet to greener options. 

Andreas Schmidt, CEO of Hegelmann Express GmbH, states, “Effective emissions monitoring in the transportation logistics industry not only increases accountability and transparency, but also allows businesses to identify areas for improvement and implement carbon-cutting strategies. The industry can work toward a more sustainable future and play an important role in mitigating the effects of climate change by tracking and adjusting emissions on a regular basis. It’s also phenomenal to be on this journey with Emitwise.”    

However, to accelerate their transition, Hegelmann needs accurate and transparent data to drive business decisions. Emitwise’s carbon accounting platform is renowned for its granular approach to calculating emissions across all three scopes. This level of accuracy substantiates the steps Hegelmann will take to achieve its low-carbon targets. 

„It’s fantastic to work with companies that understand the importance of digitalizing their carbon strategies,” states Mauro Cozzi, CEO and Co-founder of Emitwise. „Hegelmann has ambitious reduction targets, and they can only achieve the accuracy needed to make decisions and confidently take action through technology. Logistics sit at the heart of every global supply chain, and we’re thrilled that lowering Hegelmann’s emissions will significantly reduce those of their customers too.

TuSimple Partners with Global Logistics Leader, Hegelmann Group

SAN DIEGO, July 19, 2022 – TuSimple (Nasdaq: TSP), a global autonomous driving technology company, has announced its partnership with Hegelmann Group, a major European transport and logistics provider, that operates a fleet of over 5,000 vehicles, including an initial reservation of purpose-built SAE Level 4 (L4) Autonomous International® Trucks for operation in North America.  The trucks will be equipped with TuSimple’s advanced autonomous driving system and will be based on a world-class global vehicle platform developed by Navistar.

Hegelmann’s partnership with TuSimple signals the symbiotic path of both partners to offer innovative solutions that address the ongoing driver shortage while lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving vehicle and environmental safety. Hegelmann’s reservation of factory-production units with TuSimple technology is a primary action in developing a new state-of-the-art logistics network in North America called the TuSimple Autonomous Freight Network (AFN). Early studies show that autonomous trucks in this type of network have the potential to reduce fuel consumption for middle mile transportation.

„TuSimple’s innovations will elevate our ability to compete and prosper in the North American market and are analogous to our stated objective to become a global logistics technology adopter,” said Andrew Jasinskas, Business Development Project Manager – Hegelmann USA. „Undoubtedly autonomous trucks with TuSimple technology are the future of transportation, and Hegelmann’s strategy is to likewise be a standard bearer for innovations that push safety and efficiency to the next era of logistics excellence.”

„We are pleased to add Hegelmann to our rapidly growing fleet partners who wish to adopt, integrate, and scale SAE L4 truck operation in the United States,” said Lee White, Vice President of Strategy. „Hegelmann chose TuSimple as their autonomous vehicle technology partner due to TuSimple’s leadership in the rapidly approaching full-commercialization of autonomous vehicles.”

TuSimple demonstrated its leadership with the industry’s first Driver Out (no human intervention or operator) runs in 2021 which the company plans to continue through 2022 as it prepares for full commercialization. TuSimple’s Driver Out pilot program is the product of a year and a half of work to co-develop a L4 autonomous Class 8 vehicle with Navistar to demonstrate the level of redundancy, reliability, consistency, and safety necessary to remove the driver from the truck.

By the end of 2023, TuSimple plans to carry paid freight operations in high-density freight lanes in the southern US. Driver-out runs have been critical in scaling autonomous trucking operations on the TuSimple Autonomous Freight Network.

BPA Solutions oferuje indywidualne rozwiązania programowe dla SharePoint i Microsoft Office od 2001 roku. Dzięki BPA Solution Builder możemy szybciej i pewniej wdrażać nowe projekty i jeszcze bardziej poprawiać doświadczenia użytkowników dla naszych pracowników i naszych klientów.

Ważnym kamieniem milowym było zarządzanie dokumentami dla zapewnienia jakości. Skupiliśmy się tutaj na restrukturyzacji naszych procesów w kierunku przyrostowego wersjonowania formularzy i innych dokumentów. Ze względu na stale zmieniające się warunki w logistyce, w tym zmiany legislacyjne, takie jak wprowadzenie pakietu mobilności Unii Europejskiej, konieczne jest regularne dostosowywanie formularzy i procesów do nowych warunków. Zarządzanie dokumentami opracowane przez BPA Solutions umożliwia nam również uproszczenie procesów zatwierdzania pomiędzy pracownikami, przełożonymi i dyrektorami zarządzającymi. Dzięki temu możemy pewnie i szybko reagować na zmiany i odpowiednio optymalizować dotychczasowe procesy.

BPA Solutions umożliwia nam również tworzenie quizów e-learningowych i śledzenie wyników pracowników w celu uproszczenia szkoleń cyfrowych i poprawy doświadczeń związanych z nauką.

Szwajcarska firma oferuje wysoki poziom elastyczności i jakości. Dzięki integracji z SharePointem nowe moduły bez problemu wpasowują się w nasz istniejący proces biznesowy. Będziemy kontynuować współpracę z BPA Solutions przy podobnych projektach w przyszłości.

Hegelmann łączy ERP z systemem TIMOCOM

Hegelmann Express GmbH stawia na rozwiązania cyfrowe w celu optymalizacji swoich procesów. Interfejs może zaoszczędzić wiele czasu w procesach pracy, co oznacza, że pracownicy mogą być rozmieszczeni jeszcze bardziej efektywnie.

Hegelmann Express GmbH jako działający na arenie międzynarodowej usługodawca transportowy staje przed wyzwaniem dotrzymania krytycznych terminów dostaw przy każdym transporcie. Ponieważ w transporcie towarów wszystkie koła muszą się lekko zazębiać, aby towar niezawodnie dotarł do celu. Dlatego też, aby jeszcze efektywniej spełniać życzenia naszych klientów, stale analizujemy i ulepszamy wszystkie procesy w łańcuchu dostaw. Czas to pieniądz – a możliwe do uniknięcia błędy powodują niepotrzebne koszty. Dlatego zawsze szukamy sposobów i środków, aby usprawnić i zoptymalizować przebieg pracy.

Jednym z wyzwań dla nas, jako firmy rodzinnej, jest integracja różnych rozwiązań cyfrowych z naszym własnym krajobrazem procesowym. Aby rozwiązać ten problem, zintensyfikowaliśmy naszą współpracę z firmą TIMOCOM z branży FreightTech i dostawcą systemów ERP ABONA.

  • Nowy hub powstaje w pobliżu granicy na południowym zachodzie kraju
  • Firma logistyczna odpowiada na zapotrzebowanie na pakiety mobilnościowe
  • Kompleksowy obszar obsługi pojazdów i kierowców
Bruchsal/Żarska Wieś (Polska), 16 lipca 2021 – Grupa Hegelmann buduje pierwszy w Polsce hub dla kierowców ciężarówek. Unikalny w skali kraju projekt powstaje w Żarskiej Wsi, w południowo-zachodniej Polsce w pobliżu granicy z Niemcami, na powierzchni niespełna dwunastu hektarów. Oprócz kompleksowych usług dla spedytorów i pojazdów, centrum operacyjne oferuje również własny hotel i obszerny parking. Jest to również odpowiedź międzynarodowej firmy transportowo-logistycznej na zwiększone wymagania wynikające z nowych regulacji unijnych i pakietu mobilnościowego. Dotychczasowa inwestycja wyniosła około 22 mln euro. Otwarcie kompleksu, który będzie sukcesywnie rozbudowywany, planowane jest na połowę 2022 roku. 'Dzięki hubowi budujemy optymalny kompleks usług dostosowany do potrzeb naszych kierowców i pracowników. Ponadto wykorzystujemy go do wspierania mniejszych firm przewozowych w spełnianiu wymogów pakietu mobilności’ – mówi Siegfried Hegelmann, udziałowiec Hegelmann Group. Hegelmann jest pierwszą firmą z branży transportowo-logistycznej, która utworzyła w Polsce zintegrowane centrum operacyjne. Obiekt jest podzielony na kilka stref: Strefa serwisowa dla samochodów ciężarowych o powierzchni około 7000 metrów kwadratowych obejmuje warsztat, zakład diagnostyczny, lakiernię i myjnię dla samochodów ciężarowych. Ponadto znajduje się tu magazyn części zamiennych i opon o powierzchni prawie 6.000 metrów kwadratowych. 'Cały zakres usług pozwala nam zoptymalizować czasy napraw i zapewnić wydajną działalność’, mówi Hegelmann. W przyszłości ma tu powstać kolejny oddzielny kompleks logistyczny i centrum magazynowe. Oprócz własnej powierzchni biurowej na ogromnym terenie do dyspozycji firm zewnętrznych jest około 60 dodatkowych biur. Częścią rozbudowanej bazy jest również hotel z ponad 750 miejscami noclegowymi. Kierowcy wracający z tras europejskich mogą w nim spędzić obowiązkowy czas odpoczynku. Kolejną zaletą hubu Hegelmann jest wydzielona, wysokiej jakości powierzchnia handlowa dla partnerów handlowych, spedytorów i innych firm transportowych. Obszerne parkingi wokół biur, hotelu, powierzchni usługowych i magazynów zapewniają ponadto miejsce dla 220 samochodów ciężarowych i 450 samochodów osobowych. 'Hegelmann Hub w Polsce to baza transportowa, która pod wieloma względami została zaprojektowana do optymalnego funkcjonowania’, mówi Hegelmann. Otwarcie Hegelmann Hub Poland w połowie 2022 roku będzie miało również pozytywny wpływ na region. W samym centrum operacyjnym ma być zatrudnionych około 200 osób. 'Kolejne miejsca pracy zostaną utworzone przez naszych partnerów biznesowych i inne firmy’, mówi Hegelmann.

Hegelmann Group rozszerza swoją działalność w USA

Międzynarodowe przedsiębiorstwo transportowo-logistyczne rozpoczyna działalność w Ameryce Północnej jako Hegelmann USA. Centrala w Chicago rozpocznie świadczenie usług transportowych i logistycznych z początkiem stycznia przyszłego roku. W ciągu pierwszych trzech lat planowana jest inwestycja w rozwój nowego oddziału amerykańskiego w wysokości około dziesięciu milionów euro. W przyszłości Hegelmann planuje otwarcie kolejnych rynków Ameryki Północnej i Środkowej. Pierwszym celem będzie Kanada. Kontynuowany ma być wzrost międzynarodowy. W pierwszym roku w USA ma powstać co najmniej 15 nowych miejsc pracy. Flota będzie początkowo składać się z dziesięciu standardowych ciężarówek. Później flota zostanie rozbudowana o ciężarówki zasilane LNG lub energią elektryczną. 'Już wcześniej rozważaliśmy ekspansję w USA do końca 2019 roku. Chcemy stać się globalną organizacją, która oferuje swoje usługi na kontynencie europejskim, północnoamerykańskim i azjatyckim. Wierzymy, że dzięki ciężkiej i uczciwej pracy możemy stać się odnoszącym sukcesy, ambitnym i stale rosnącym graczem na rynku amerykańskim i północnoamerykańskim’ – wyjaśnia Andrew Jasinskas, Head of Business Development w Hegelmann Group, który jest odpowiedzialny za ekspansję w USA. Hegelmann ma już powiązania z rynkiem amerykańskim. 'Oferujemy usługi logistyczne dla naszych amerykańskich partnerów w Europie i dlatego jesteśmy już dobrze połączeni’, mówi Jasinskas. W pierwszym roku ekspansji Hegelmann planuje zainwestować około dwóch milionów euro w rozwój strategiczny i operacje. Kolejne osiem milionów euro ma nastąpić w drugim i trzecim roku. Planowane są między innymi zakupy naczep 'dry van’, naczep termicznych, platform, silosów i naczep do przewozu samochodów. 'Chcemy bardzo szybko zaoferować w USA taki sam zakres usług jak w Europie. Jesteśmy globalną i silną firmą’ – podsumowuje Jasinskas. Odwiedź naszą stronę w USA Visit our US page

Hegelmann Group nabył ciężarówki zasilane LNG

Hegelmann Group nabył pięć ciężarówek zasilanych LNG (skroplonym gazem ziemnym). Ciężarówki te nie tylko zmniejszą zanieczyszczenie środowiska, ale także przyczynią się do zwiększenia efektywności działań firmy. Oczekuje się, że do 2025 roku będą one stanowić co najmniej 20 procent całej floty pojazdów firmy, która obecnie liczy około 4 000 ciężarówek.

W ramach podążania w kierunku ekologii firma stara się również zwrócić uwagę na problem lasów w Europie z powodu suszy i zmian klimatycznych i planuje zasadzić 7000 drzew w Europie – jako część pracowników Hegelmann Group.
