About us
Route42 makes transport companies ready for the future! A future in which data and technology are crucial to driving sustainably, efficiently, and safely. Fueled by data, driven by intelligence is the motto of this high-tech startup from Breda. And it is hitting the spot! Since 2015, smart transporters in the Netherlands have been getting more out of their fleets with the help of technology from Route42. The growth is unstoppable. That is why we are looking for reinforcements in all areas of the organisation to help us achieve our growth ambitions in the coming years.

The young and ambitious team at Route42 consists of around 20 people with varying experience and backgrounds. But what they all have in common is passion. Passion to make a difference. Passion to be innovative in a traditional market. Passion for moving themselves, Route42 and the customer forward. Although results are central to the DNA of Route42, the culture is nice and loose. There is also passion for a little fun, a drink and a party.
