What they do
Their core work
Jan de Rijk Logistics is a Dutch logistics company specializing in European road transport and multimodal freight solutions, headquartered in Roosendaal. In H2020 projects, they contributed real-world logistics operations and data for testing digital platforms, data-sharing architectures, and Physical Internet concepts across European supply chains. Their role centers on being an industry end-user that validates research innovations in live logistics environments, particularly around freight efficiency, CO2 reduction, and intermodal transport optimization.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
Logistics data exchange
Recent focus
Data-driven multimodal logistics
Jan de Rijk's H2020 participation spans a narrow window (2016–2020), making it difficult to identify a strong evolution. Their earliest project (AEOLIX, 2016) focused on logistics data exchange infrastructure, while their later projects (TT and CLUSTERS 2.0, both starting 2017) moved toward big data analytics, predictive tools, and Physical Internet concepts. The trajectory suggests a shift from basic data-sharing platforms toward more intelligent, data-driven logistics optimization.
Moving from logistics digitization toward predictive analytics and Physical Internet concepts, signaling interest in next-generation supply chain intelligence.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: infrastructure_providerReach: European19 countries collaborated
Jan de Rijk joins projects exclusively as a participant, never as coordinator — consistent with their role as an industry end-user providing operational validation rather than driving research agendas. With 127 unique partners across 19 countries, they operate in large European consortia typical of transport RIA/IA projects. This breadth of connections suggests they are well-networked in the European transport research community but serve as a use-case provider rather than a consortium hub.
Connected to 127 partners across 19 countries through three large transport consortia, giving them broad exposure to the European logistics research ecosystem. Their network spans research institutions, technology providers, and fellow logistics operators across Western and Central Europe.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
Jan de Rijk brings something many transport research consortia need: a mid-to-large commercial logistics operator willing to open its real operations for testing and validation. Unlike research institutes or tech startups, they offer live freight routes, operational data, and practical constraints that ground research in reality. For consortium builders, they are a credible industry partner that can demonstrate real-world impact of transport innovations.
Notable projects
