Operating continuously since the mid-1990s, the Elmex Group manages an effective fleet of nearly 550 vehicles covering more than 3.5 million kilometers monthly. Its systematic investment in bioLNG, HVO100, and digital fleet management — anchored by a 15-year partnership with Eurowag — has positioned it as a reference point for operational resilience and decarbonization in European commercial road transport.

Poland’s road transport sector has faced rising costs and declining freight rates, though recent data signals stabilization. Demand on routes to and from Poland has increased — the Denmark–Poland corridor recording a 97% rise, Germany–Poland up 25%. Some 54% of Polish transport companies plan digitalization investments, a 14 percentage-point increase from 2023. The vacancy rate in Poland’s transport and logistics sector has reached record levels, 44% above the national average.
Serving demanding industries — from automotive and FMCG through agriculture to temperature-controlled cargo — across virtually all of Europe requires both operational breadth and environmental accountability. Elmex needed to scale its fleet while transitioning to low-emission operations, manage subcontractor relationships without compromising quality, and maintain cost discipline in a sector where margins are under constant pressure.
Eurowag serves as a key partner in Elmex’s green transport expansion. Drivers access a network of stations offering bioLNG and HVO100 through the Eurowag fuel card network. The company has maintained a 15-year collaboration on the Marcos TMS system, which supports payment monitoring and transport order profitability assessment. Co-owner Krzysztof Potok states: “Modern telematics, artificial intelligence supporting operational processes, and a 15-year collaboration with Eurowag on the Marcos TMS system — which helps monitor payments and assess the profitability of transport orders — are all examples of solutions helping Elmex cut costs and be more efficient.”
Alternative fuels now account for half of Elmex’s total refueling volume. The bioLNG fleet has grown to 130 vehicles. Clients receive certificates confirming emission reductions, providing a competitive edge in tenders requiring low-emission fleets. The company operates its own LNG station in Rzepin accepting Eurowag cards, has equipped trucks with photovoltaic panels, and powers its entire operations base from its own solar panels.
Elmex’s stability is built on long-term contracts and direct client cooperation. To address the driver shortage, the company has established a structured international recruitment program with its own agency and global training centers. Potok’s assessment: “Fewer sudden regulatory shifts, a more stable environment, and we’ll handle the rest ourselves. Competitiveness is in our DNA.”
