Terberg Special Vehicles celebrates its 50,000th vehicle

On 22 October, Terberg Special Vehicles celebrated the production of its 50,000th vehicle, more than 50 years after building its first terminal tractor. The milestone was marked at three locations worldwide.

In the Netherlands, vehicle number 50,000 was unveiled and handed over at the factory in Benschop. It was one of six electric 4×4 Ro-Ro tractors ordered by Gothenburg RoRo Terminal. The ceremony was attended by distributor N.C. Nielsen. In the US, vehicle number 50,001 rolled off the production line, while in Malaysia, vehicle number 50,002 was ceremonially handed over to customer Northport.

Dutch family-owned company Terberg produced its first terminal tractor in 1973, after Govert Terberg and Joop Boumans, then Head of Development, recognised the potential of the emerging container transport market. Since then, Terberg has expanded into a global business, with production facilities in the Netherlands, Malaysia and the US. It also operates after-sales hubs in Miami, Houten, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur, supported by a network of more than 60 distributors worldwide. Terberg owns nine of these distributors.

At the Benschop celebration, speakers highlighted the company’s three-pillar commitment: Built to Last. Charged to Perform. Supported for Life. This reflects its focus on vehicle durability, performance and long-term after-sales support through dedicated service and lasting customer relationships. “The first 50,000 vehicles represent the work of generations of colleagues who have turned ideas into reliable terminal tractors. They also reflect the trust and loyalty of customers and distributors around the world. The milestone belongs to everyone who has contributed to Terberg’s journey,” the company leaders said.
