The company OnTruck<\/a>a transport technology platform, has raised \u20ac25 million in Series B funding, which will enable it to finance its expansion in Europe and consolidate its position in the UK and Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The round is led by global private equity fund Cathay Innovation<\/a>a Venture Capital fund specialising in technology companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fundada en 2016, es una de las numerosas empresas emergentes que est\u00e1n intentando \u00abdigitalizar\u00bb el mercado de las mercanc\u00edas, que hoy en d\u00eda sigue siendo un sector bastante tradicional y opaca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OnTruck describe su tecnolog\u00eda como la automatizaci\u00f3n del cotejo de las cargas con los camiones y el seguimiento por GPS en tiempo real de todos los env\u00edos. Los algoritmos de la empresa tambi\u00e9n intentan despachar el trabajo de manera que se reduzcan considerablemente los viajes en vac\u00edo, lo cual es un problema particularmente com\u00fan para el mercado regional y de corta distancia al que OnTruck se dirige. \u00abEl transporte regional es donde los expedidores y los camioneros sufren m\u00e1s ineficiencia, con m\u00e1s del 40% de los kil\u00f3metros recorridos en vac\u00edo\u00bb, dice el director general de OnTruck, I\u00f1igo Juantegui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OnTruck's customers include large multinationals such as Procter & Gamble and Decathlon, as well as more than 400 medium-sized companies in the UK and Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Series B financing round has enabled OnTruck to raise \u20ac25 million in funding. The transaction was led by the private equity fund Cathay International and also involved new investors, such as GP Bullhound, as well as existing shareholders Atomico, Idinvest Partners, All Iron Ventures, Total Energy Ventures, Point 9 Capital andSamaipata Ventures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Juantegui, the new funding will be used to consolidate its market positions in these two countries, and to expand into more countries in Europe, such as France and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnTruck, innovation and technology in the logistics sector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
