Lithuanian transport and logistics company, Girteka, has secured Europe’s largest truck deal of 2025 by ordering 2,000 new heavy-duty vehicles from Volvo Trucks. This massive purchase, to be delivered throughout the year, is central to Girteka’s strategy of maintaining a modern, efficient fleet capable of meeting evolving customer demands. The new fleet will enhance reliability and flexibility, particularly for time-sensitive and temperature-controlled cargo.
Despite a 16.6% drop in heavy truck registrations across major EU markets in Q1 2025, Girteka’s investment underlines its commitment to providing stable, flexible road transport solutions. The deal is supported by Volvo Financial Services and includes Volvo Blue service contracts, ensuring optimal vehicle performance and uptime.
Drivers benefit from upgraded comfort and safety in the new Volvo FH and FH Aero models. Features like electric parking coolers and improved cab aerodynamics (capable of boosting fuel efficiency by up to 5%), are complemented by Volvo’s Camera Monitor System, enhancing visibility and reducing accident risks. Each truck is digitally connected, enabling proactive maintenance and faster response to issues, fostering a safer, more reliable driving experience.
“Girteka runs one of the largest asset-based logistics networks in Europe, and this fleet renewal will help the company maintain and scale its service in key sectors, including food & beverage, FMCG/retail and high-value goods,” the release explains.
Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks, underlined: “These trucks represent the latest in performance, fuel efficiency and safety. We are excited to see them support one of Europe’s largest transport companies.”
Edvardas Liachovičius, CEO of Girteka Group, explained: “Every delivery matters to our customers and us. It means every truck needs to perform. This renewal gives us the efficiency and reliability we need to keep our promises today and tomorrow, staying ahead in the market. Our customers rely on us to deliver on time, across borders, and in perfect condition. With this investment, we’re reinforcing that promise with the most modern and efficient fleet.”
