Taxi company Uber is bringing its trucking app Uber Freight to
the Netherlands – the first foray into Europe for the two-year-old service.
The
launch will be made in the coming weeks when ‘local carriers and drivers will
be able to book and move their first loads with Uber Freight’, the company
said.
Uber says it plans to expand the service from the Netherlands to other
parts of Europe in the near future. Uber’s European headquarters are in
Amsterdam.
Uber Freight, launched in the US two years ago, is based on an app
which connects trucking companies of any size with suppliers looking to deliver
goods.
Uber Freight has run into difficulty in the US because of a shortage of
drivers and has increased incentives to get more takers. The unit was spun of
into a separate unit within the group last August.
