History

  • 1973

    HT Transport was founded by Henning Toftlund Hansen in Hovedgaden, Billund. HT started with freights moving from Jutland to Zealand (more specifically on the West Jutland-Copenhagen freight route, which was acquired by haulier Villy Thomsen). In 1973 our fleet consisted of 7 trucks and we employed 10 drivers. Henning Toftlund Hansen had previously worked as a freight forwarder at Brødrene Larsen in Vejle.

  • 1976

    HT Transport moved to its current location at Kløvermarken in Billund. The reason being the old premises had become too small and that we wanted to expand the business with the addition of a warehouse.

  • 1982

    The company added its own workshop for servicing its fleet. The service centre would be located on Thorsvej in Grindsted - where it still continues to service HT Transport's fleet right until this day.

  • 1989

    HT Transport's application for export driving is approved, which would mark the start of HT's specialisation in transportation to the area in and around Switzerland.

  • 1997

    HT Transport transforms into the public limited company HT Transport & Spedition A/S, in line with a generational change within the company.

  • 1998

    HT Transport celebrates its 25th anniversary

  • 2010

    Jørgen Poulsen is appointed Chief Operating Officer subsequent to Henning Toftlund Hansen passing away after a short illness.

  • 2013

    The freight part of Danske Fragtmænd gets sold off. This came as part of the hauliers' structural changes and as a recognition of the fact that this part of the company was no longer profitable.

  • 2014

    The ownership changes such that Casper and Marianne Toftlund Hansen each own 50% of HT Transport & Spedition A/S.

  • 2018

    HT Transport moves its administration into new offices while the old premises are renovated and furnished for the drivers, the warehouse office and canteen.

  • 2020

    Niclas Toftlund starts at HT Transport and three generations now work under the same roof within the company. Jørgen Poulsen chooses to retire, but continues in the company as chairman of the board. Marianne and Casper Toftlund Hansen become the new directors of the company.

Environmental and Social Responsibility

At HT Transport & Spedition A/S, we place a strong emphasis on our social responsibility and, as a workplace, we take our responsibility for our employees and the impact we have on society very seriously. We prioritise forming long-term, mutually-beneficial relationships with our clients, suppliers and other partners.

Environment
We work purposefully to reduce our fuel consumption and, in doing so, limit CO2 emissions. When buying new trucks, the focus is on a high Euronorm, as well as low fuel consumption, with the result that 97% of our fleet is EUR5 or higher. Our drivers' fuel consumption is monitored electronically and the drivers are taught how to drive in an environmentally-friendly way. On top of that, we place a strong focus on optimising our day-to-day planning, to reduce fuel consumption.
We have sensors installed in our warehouses to switch the lights on and off automatically and we are in the process of replacing all our sources of light to LED. Our forklifts are for the greater part, being replaced with electric forklifts. Where possible, we try to recycle all by-products.
We, naturally, comply with all applicable legal requirements pertaining to environmental matters in the countries in which we operate.

Employee Relations

We try to offer our employees a good and safe workplace, where everyone treats each other with respect. We try to offer our employees other work tasks if they are unable to carry out their normal work during certain periods. There is no upper age limit for the employees and new recruits are continuously being trained.

Ethics

We comply with all international and national laws and regulations, and we distance ourselves from corruption in every form.

Service Centre

All HT vehicles are serviced and repaired at our own service centre, located in Grindsted. Whether our fleet includes Scania, Volvo, Mercedes or other brands, we are able to service our vehicles. We've had our own workshop since 1982, and in 2019 our service centre was expanded by 300 m2 and also modernised, so that both our employees and vehicles could enjoy the most optimal conditions. By having a workshop under our own roof, we can offer a 100% guarantee that the vehicles we send out on the roads are in order and comply with every applicable legal requirement.
In addition to servicing and repairing vehicles in our workshop, we also have the possibility to wash our trucks and trailers at our own washing station.
