FarmPlus meets peak demand with a brand-new tank truck

To maintain reliable deliveries, even during busy periods, FarmPlus was looking for an additional tank truck. TVW Fuel Trucks supplied a new Scania P420, complete with custom-built modifications.

FarmPlus is an agricultural cooperative that includes Agri Go as part of its organisation. Agri Go manages all energy-related activities, ranging from fuels and lubricants to electrification and EV charging stations. With a growing customer base and a fleet of several tank trucks, the company ensures its customers receive their fuel on time.

Additional capacity during peak periods

When Danny de Pooter, Team Leader Transport at FarmPlus, took a closer look at the fleet's operations, he realised that more capacity was needed. “After running some calculations, I realised we didn't have enough capacity to handle certain peaks in demand or supply fuel to some areas.”

Demand for fuel is particularly high during the summer harvest season and fertiliser deliveries. To maintain a reliable service during these busy periods, an additional vehicle was needed.

A fast and straightforward solution

Choosing TVW Fuel Trucks was an easy decision. “I have a background in the oil industry and have known TVW Fuel Trucks for years. I knew who they were and how they worked, so I simply got in touch with them directly,” Danny explains.

The short delivery time was a key deciding factor. “Other suppliers would have taken much longer. TVW Fuel Trucks was able to offer us a brand-new Scania P420 that was available almost immediately.”

The truck arrived at TVW Fuel Trucks' premises, where several custom modifications were carried out. These included installing a larger discharge hose inside the cabinet to speed up the unloading process. TVW Fuel Trucks also handled the RDW (Dutch Vehicle Registration Authority) paperwork.

Smooth cooperation and clear communication

“Everything was handled smoothly and went according to plan,” says Fabian Voogd, Transport Planner at FarmPlus. The direct approach was particularly appreciated. “I like to be straightforward, and that's exactly how things work at TVW Fuel Trucks. If an issue arises, it's resolved. That makes working together easy.”

The new tank truck is now fully operational, helping FarmPlus and Agri Go manage peak demand more effectively while maintaining a reliable fuel supply for their customers.

FarmPlus is very satisfied with how the collaboration went. “If anyone in the industry is looking for a tank truck, we immediately refer them to TVW Fuel Trucks,” concludes Danny de Pooter.
