De Rijke Expands Fleet with 16 New DAF XG Trucks and Transitions Fully to HVO100 

March 4, 2026 - De Rijke is taking another significant step toward modernising and future‑proofing its fleet. With the addition of 16 new DAF XG trucks, we enhance our capacity while improving comfort and safety for our drivers. At the same time, we are transitioning entirely to HVO100, a fully renewable fuel capable of delivering up to 90% CO₂ reduction across the entire chain. 

Investing in Innovation and Reliability

Upgrading our fleet is a strategic choice. The logistics sector is evolving rapidly, and our customers expect efficiency, reliability, and flexibility. The new DAF XG perfectly supports these ambitions. 

Key benefits of the DAF XG include: 

  • More efficient fuel consumption 
    Achieved through improved aerodynamics and an optimised driveline. 

  • Enhanced driver comfort 
    Thanks to a spacious cabin, modern ergonomics, and advanced assistance systems. 

  • The latest safety technologies 
    Including improved blind‑spot detection, intelligent driver‑assistance features, and a wider field of view. 

This investment directly contributes to the quality and continuity of our services across various industries. 

We extend our thanks to our partner Best Trucks for the pleasant collaboration and the timely delivery of the vehicles. 

Full Transition to HVO100: A Major Step in Sustainability

In addition to modernising our fleet, we are taking an equally important sustainability step: our entire truck fleet now runs on HVO100. 
HVO100 (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a high‑quality, 100% renewable diesel alternative that: 

  • delivers up to 90% CO₂ reduction across the full lifecycle 

  • can be used directly in modern diesel engines 

  • offers the same performance and reliability as conventional diesel 

This enables us to combine operational efficiency with substantial sustainability impact—without compromising quality or delivery reliability. 

Ready for the Future

With this dual investment—new DAF XG trucks and the full transition to HVO100—De Rijke reinforces its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering high‑quality logistics services to our customers.
