About us
Your specialists in trucks cartel compensation
Our purpose: to let haulage, logistics and construction businesses recover the margins unlawfully taken from them between 1997 and 2014.
Restoring financial fairness for hauliers
For fourteen years the leading truck manufacturers agreed to inflate gross list prices artificially and to pass the cost of environmental standards on to buyers. That collusion drained the cash and investment capacity of European small and medium businesses.
We take the view that the EUR 3.8 billion administrative sanction is not enough. Real economic justice runs through civil reparation. Our structure exists to rebalance the relationship between isolated hauliers and automotive multinationals, by pooling claims and absorbing the whole procedural risk.

A presence across the 27 member states
Because the cartel struck the whole single market, our work spans Europe. Whether the case is known as Lkw-Kartell in Germany and Austria, Vrachtwagenkartel in the Netherlands and Belgium, Cártel de los camiones in Spain, Lastbilskartellen in Sweden or the Trucks Cartel in Ireland and Malta, our lawyers know the procedural specifics and limitation periods of every national jurisdiction.
We handle files for hauliers operating in any member state, including the subsidiaries of groups established elsewhere in Europe.
How your claim is calculated
The original overcharge is only part of your claim. The decisive lever is the compounding of statutory late payment interest, accrued over twelve to twenty-eight years.
Our engagement model is simple: no upfront fee, and remuneration consisting solely of a commission charged on success, once the funds have reached your account.
