Tırtaş Strengthens Its European Operations with Strategic Investments
Hazar Şahin, Chairman of the Board and third-generation representative of Tırtaş Uluslararası Nakliye, which has left 45 years in the logistics sector behind it, told Kamyonum about the company’s European operations and investment plans.
Şahin said that since its founding Tırtaş has made international road transport its main field of activity, and that establishing a permanent operational structure on European lines, strengthening its own fleet, moving into intermodal transport and building an operational network based in Europe have been important milestones for the company. He emphasised that with their office and warehouse set-up in Trieste they offer customers a more sustainable and integrated operation.
With a high operational volume in Western and Central Europe, above all in Italy, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, Tırtaş launched new intra-European routes with intermodal connections as of 2025. The share of Euro 6 vehicles in the fleet was increased, and investments in swap body and container-compatible equipment were accelerated.
“Swap body and container systems reduce delays at border crossings, balance costs and lower environmental impact. Thanks to these systems we gain flexibility and make effective use of rail integration in Europe.”
Şahin announced that over the next five years they aim to increase intermodal capacity, strengthen the intra-European operational network, make the fleet greener, deepen digital processes and accelerate investments in trailers and swap boxes.
