The selection of Trucknet and Fridman, according to the Trust, reflects the broad narrative celebrating past and present leaders, including the future King of Britain, Prince Charles, who is a keen supporter and activist in the area of sustainability
St James’s House, part of the SJH Group of world-leading media companies, together with the History of Parliament Trust, will mark the 300-year history of the British Parliament with the publication of an elegant book, that will include the selection of Fridman and others. A prestigious ceremony marking the history will be held in September in London on the steps of Westminster Abbey
According to Mr. Hanan Fridman, CEO and founder of the company: “It is a great honor for me and for Trucknet to be selected as one of the leading companies in the area of sustainability, and the only company in the field of logistics that was chosen to participate in this impressive event. Trucknet celebrates the future every day, working determinedly to improve efficiency and profitability for companies in their daily operations in the world of transport. We hope to create a greener future for us and for our children in the generations to come
“Following recovery from the COVID 19 pandemic, we must all mobilize to return to a routine lifestyle that will be greener, more resilient and sustainable. This is a golden opportunity for us, as well as for other organizations from different industries, to take part in the change and to design a reality without an ecological collapse and to transition to a low carbon global economy”
A green recovery, with the help of smart technology, will contribute to the global economy and push forward the necessary change. “This vision is gaining momentum in light of the change in existing policies of many governments around the world, including the Biden Administration in the United States, that is aiming for zero emissions by mid-century”

The Company
Trucknet Enterprise provides a green, cloud-based ALL-IN-ONE digital platform that enables transportation and logistics companies to reduce transport costs and save resources by optimizing shipments across all modes of transportation, through artificial intelligence (AI), business intelligence (BI) and ML machine learning). The platform includes an online tool for calculating CO2 emissions from vehicle fleets and offers smart automatic matching between trucks and cargo, based on location. In addition, an easy and fast payment solution is available for the B2B market
Trucknet’s platform enables transportation and logistics companies to significantly minimize empty rides through automatically prioritizing available vehicles with other transport and logistics companies. Based on location, the system carries out smart matching between empty trucks and available cargo
Trucknet’s solution enables full automation and optimization for land transport for companies managing commercial vehicle fleets and for customers of logistics services. The system assists companies to significantly lower service costs and improve efficiency and profitability through reduction of the number of empty trucks on the roads. This results in a reduction of air pollution and GHG emissions, traffic accidents involving trucks as well as less damage to the environment
Data from the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics show that in 30% of traffic accidents heavy-duty vehicles are involved and 23% of the pedestrians killed in urban areas are from heavy vehicles (trucks and buses)
The Company aims to establish a unique professional system in the area of shared transport. Trucknet’s software platform interfaces with all leading work scheduling systems, TMS and leading telematics systems. Transport companies can improve and optimize vehicle fleet management and sharing of resources, by mutual use of digital documents (without the need to print). Trucknet has developed user-friendly interfaces for the driver and for the end customer offering complete connectivity, monitoring and transparency as well as providing solutions for payment through the system.
Trucknet operates in the international transportation and logistics market, which is assessed at about $19.36 trillion. As of 2020, the Company has approximately half a million trucks connected from roughly 4,000 companies. Some data from the world about trucks that travel empty (without cargo): in Europe 27% of trucks on the roads run empty, in the United States 36% and in Asia 46%
Trucknet conducted a joint pilot project with the Renault Group during October 2020, in which a connection was made to Renault’s Bid system that tenders each work order. Through the system, contractors were identified on the basis of their location in relation to Renault’s requests. The pilot proved that connection to Trucknet’s platform led to improvement in the efficiency and profitability of logistics services by 17%; savings achieved were up to €115,000 in two weeks for 268 trips out of a total of 371 (68% success rate)
The results of the pilot demonstrated the platform’s ability to improve efficiency and save transportation costs for logistics companies. This is due to the fact that the Trucknet platform adjusts shipping orders for (transport) contractors, based on their geographical proximity to the location of cargo, thus, allowing them to submit lower price proposals and save costs
The Company, established in 2016 by CEO Mr. Hanan Fridman, employs approximately 40 people spread across offices in the world. Trucknet has signed agreements and pilot projects with leading companies in and outside Israel, including DSV, La Poste, DPD, ChronoPost, Allcargo, Israel Post and more
