Our newest addition: innovation in special transport!

Friday 11 July 2025
At MJ van Riel, we continue to innovate in special transport and heavy haulage. Our latest investment is a MAN truck with a Janssen Hydrive self-propelled system. Thanks to this technology, the truck can be remotely controlled, ideal for moving road plates and dragline mats safely and efficiently.

What does this self-driving system entail?

Thanks to the advanced cooperation of various hardware and software, this vehicle can be controlled with extreme precision. The system can fully proportional (de-)accelerate, allowing us to gradually speed up or slow down the truck or brake gently. Thanks to sensors at the front of the truck, safety is ensured: as soon as an object is seen, the truck brakes itself.

The remote control is compact, logically constructed and easy to use. The joysticks allow driving and steering, the automatic centre position straightens the wheels at once, and the start-stop system saves fuel.

Want to know more?

With this innovative MAN, we strengthen our services in special transport and exceptional transport. M.J. van Riel offers reliable and cost-conscious solutions for every transport issue.
