Overview
Trucktrade is a Swiss used-commercial-vehicle trading company. It describes itself as "the used vehicle trading company for commercial vehicles from Switzerland," dealing exclusively in used trucks, tractor units, tippers, trailers, semi-trailers and construction machinery. The company does not sell new vehicles; its model is built on reuse, reconditioning and worldwide export. Trucktrade's business spans three main activities. First, it buys vehicles: it purchases trucks, tractor units, trailers, semi-trailers and construction machinery from sellers, offering fair valuation and fast processing, and it also provides trade-in and buyback offers for fleets and leasing returns. Second, it reconditions every vehicle it buys at its own reconditioning center in Jestetten, where cleaning, repairs and paint touch-ups are carried out in-house before a vehicle is put back on display. Third, it exports: the company handles customs, transport and paperwork itself and delivers to 84 countries across Europe, Africa and Asia, including container loading and overseas shipping. The company operates three locations in Switzerland and Germany and typically keeps over 200 vehicles in stock. Its inventory covers a wide range of makes, including DAF, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Scania, Volvo Trucks, Iveco, Renault, Volkswagen, Krone, Schmitz, Fliegl, Kögel, Liebherr, Hitachi, Kubota and others, across categories such as trucks, tractor units, semi-trailers, truck trailers, vans, construction machines, passenger transport vehicles and accessories. Listings show detailed specifications such as year, mileage, horsepower, axle configuration, emission class and features like tail lifts, cranes and retarders, with guide prices often quoted in EUR and CHF. Trucktrade positions itself as a one-stop partner for used commercial vehicles, from purchase to export. It emphasizes speed — inspecting, paying and taking away a vehicle within a day, including customs support — and sustainability, framing its work as giving good trucks a second life rather than scrapping them. It also offers neutralization services for compliance purposes, market research and valuations for buyback positions. The company is privately held and is not listed on a stock exchange.
History
Trucktrade is a Swiss used-commercial-vehicle trading company. Public information about its founding and early history is limited; its own materials describe a business built over years around a single focus: purchasing used commercial vehicles, reconditioning them in its own center and delivering them worldwide. The company states that "for years we have been doing nothing else," indicating a long-standing specialization rather than a diversified vehicle dealer. The business model centers on reuse. Trucktrade does not sell new vehicles; it buys used trucks, tractor units, tippers, trailers, semi-trailers and construction machinery, then reconditions each unit at its own reconditioning center in Jestetten before putting it back on display. Cleaning, repairs and paint touch-ups are done in-house. This vertical integration — buying, reconditioning and exporting under one roof — is presented as the company's core differentiator. Geographically, Trucktrade operates three locations in Switzerland and Germany and typically holds over 200 vehicles in stock. Its export reach extends to 84 countries across Europe, Africa and Asia, with the company handling customs, transport and paperwork itself, including export papers, movement certificates, container loading and overseas shipping. This makes it both a domestic dealership for Swiss and German buyers and an international exporter. Over time the company has expanded its service offering beyond straightforward vehicle sales. It now provides truck purchase with full, immediate payment; market-based trade-in offers for buybacks and leasing returns; a 100% export guarantee; valuations and market research for buyback positions; and neutralization services with evidence photos for compliance requirements. These services are aimed at fleet operators, leasing companies and sellers who need certainty and speed. Trucktrade's inventory spans many major commercial-vehicle makes — DAF, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Scania, Volvo Trucks, Iveco, Renault, Volkswagen, Krone, Schmitz, Fliegl, Kögel, Liebherr, Hitachi, Kubota and others — and categories including trucks, tractor units, semi-trailers, truck trailers, vans, construction machines, passenger transport vehicles and accessories. Listings include detailed specifications and guide prices in EUR and CHF. The company remains privately held and is not listed on a stock exchange.
