Client Cases

Optimal business decisions require rigorous market intelligence. For over 20 years we have been speaking partners with hundreds of clients of all sizes. Our datasets and expertise offer valuable input to all participants in the road transport ecosystem, but our clients typically fall into one of the five categories above.

Road Transporters

Road carriers and freight forwarders are the backbone of any modern economy, where usually more than 70% of all goods volume is transported on the road. The European market for road transport is highly fragmented, with hundreds of thousands of mostly small companies.

In order for you to make well-informed and well-timed decisions you need, among other things, the most reliable and timely data on actual and forecast freight capacity and freight rates. Our data and models help you answer questions like: What road freight capacity will be available in a specific region of Europe in the coming quarters? As a consequence; where are freight rates heading?

“We operate in an extremely competitive market. There is a strong need for Rementum’s real- and precise market data on developments in costs and freight rates”

- Large road carrier; headquartered in Eastern Europe

Truck, Bus and Trailer OEMs

As companies supplying capacity to road transporters, all OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) share some commonalities; trying to understand, predict and manage the ups and downs of their respective business cycles. When it comes to the inner workings however, the specific dynamics vary greatly between the markets for trucks, buses or trailers.

In order for you to make well-informed and well-timed decisions you need, among other things, the most reliable and timely data on actual and forecast customer investments: Our data and models help you answer questions like: What scenarios are likely for road transport equipment registrations in Europe next year?

We received information from a local sales team that customers had reduced truck investments due to a lack of drivers. Such information needs to be fact-checked by an independent company with documented expertise in this area before we can act on it.

Component Suppliers

The focus of a company supplying parts; such as tyres, wheels, brakes, axles, gearboxes, etc. tends to be different from their OE customers’. Usually less interest in the end-users and more attention to the dynamics within and among the five main European truck- & bus OE groups. With more specific knowledge of the individual component markets, one rapidly meets a vast spectrum of information demands.

In order for you to make well-informed and well-timed decisions you need, among other things, the most reliable and timely data on actual and forecast OE truck-, bus- or trailer production: Our data and models help you answer questions like: What volume of road tractors is likely to be built for export from Europe next year?

“What we really like about the services from Rementum is that they are so detailed. Some of the competing offers just provide you with tons of forecasts "as is". We need a more reasoning and analytical approach for our internal discussions. That is where Rementum excels.”

- European brake systems supplier

Industry Associations

Clearly our most diverse category of clients; the smallest common denominator can be described as the search for facts. Members or stakeholders of these clients need detailed information on issues which are relevant to their decision-making and marketing management.

In order for you to make well-informed and well-timed decisions you need, among other things, the most reliable data on external effects from the European road transport markets: Our data and models help you answer questions like: What is the yearly value of the European market for truck parts and services?

“Our members need to have facts from Rementum on the developments within their industry. Otherwise we come less well prepared to discussions with other interests and that usually ends badly”

Financial Companies

Just as fundamental as road transporters for the infrastructure of a modern economy; banks and leasing companies provide vital capital for investments in all the other categories of our client universe. This also makes their research needs highly complex and service-intensive.

In order for you to make well-informed and well-timed decisions you need, among other things, the most reliable and timely data on investment trends in the European commercial vehicles markets: Our data and models help you answer questions like: What accumulated credit losses are to be expected from our lease portfolio in the coming 18 months?

“In the financial industry we are constantly bombarded with vast amounts of information. We need market experts to help us evaluate this information by putting it into a context. Preferably in a very timely fashion”
