ERTLog has completed the first phase of a 20-vehicle fleet investment with Renault Trucks as part of its growth strategy. The Ankara-based logistics company has added 4 T 520 and 3 C 520 6x4 tractors to its fleet, delivered at Koçaslanlar Hadımköy facilities. Operating since 1995, ERTLog serves public institutions and private sector clients, with 30% of operations dedicated to international transport alongside domestic services.
The company maintains a wide service portfolio spanning defense industry projects to heavy haulage operations. It transports defense equipment for public sector clients while serving food, automotive spare parts, and construction materials logistics in the private sector. ERTLog Board Member Berk Ertuş stated that fuel efficiency, after-sales service infrastructure, and operational advantages of Optifleet technology influenced the investment decision. T 520 models will handle long-haul transport, while C 520 6x4 units will transport machinery and armored vehicles.
The Optifleet system manages fleet operations by providing access to real-time and historical location data and technical information. The system monitors fuel consumption for each vehicle and analyzes driving styles. Ertuş noted, "With Optifleet, we can manage operations much more efficiently. We can compare drivers and improve fuel consumption." The vehicles also feature next-generation Optidriver transmission for faster gear shifts.
The company selected the Excellence Predict contract for after-sales support. This predictive maintenance service analyzes data from vehicles to detect potential failures before they occur. Ertuş explained, "We're talking about business models where no disruption can occur. Renault Trucks' rapid service infrastructure provides confidence for uninterrupted operations." The system prevents unplanned downtime and supports operational continuity.
ERTLog's growth plans extend beyond vehicle investment. The company forecasts 100% fleet growth in 2026 and is training qualified drivers through its in-house driver academy. With a job-guaranteed training model, ERTLog is also developing projects to increase female driver employment. Operating nationwide with focus on Eastern and Southeastern regions, the company continues investments aligned with operational efficiency and sustainable growth objectives.
