Maantie Trans: Quality pays off in the long run
Maantie Trans’s latest investment from Närko is a 15.5 meter ADR EXIII-classified semi-trailer. Närko was selected for several key reasons: high quality, excellent service, and strong durability.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Maantie Trans is a transport company specialized in air freight. Its fleet currently comprises 32 units.
“In the past, we have mainly acquired dollies from Närko, and they have stayed in excellent condition for many years. That is why I decided to purchase both a semi-trailer and a box truck from Närko this time. Recently, I haven’t been entirely satisfied with the quality offered by competitors,” says Juha Nykänen, owner and CEO of Maantie Trans.
In March 2026, Närko delivered a long, ADR EX III-classified semi-trailer to Maantie Trans. The company serves numerous clients in the defense industry, and the vehicle is custom-designed to meet the specific requirements of this sector. Several factors drove the decision to choose Närko.
“I appreciate Närko’s personalized service—you are treated as an individual, not just a number. I am glad to pay for good service and high quality because it pays off in the long run through greater durability and operational reliability,” Nykänen explains.
Optimal design
The ADR EX III semi-trailer is designed to optimally meet Maantie Trans’s operational demands:
- The 15.5-meter length provides extra capacity, increasing the fill rate and delivering more environmentally friendly transport.
- The vehicle is equipped with a foldable tail lift.
- The interior features a clear height of 3 meters and a full opening side.
- Thanks to its ADR EXIII classification, the trailer can transport explosives and other dangerous goods.
Maantie Trans is growing rapidly. This past summer, Närko delivered another vehicle to the company—this time an 8.5-meter box truck.
“We don’t transport standard goods, which means our equipment must be high quality, versatile, and flexible. As an entrepreneur, my time is limited, so I chose a supplier that understands our needs and manages the ordering process efficiently,” concludes Nykänen.
“I appreciate Närko’s personalized service—you are treated as an individual, not just a number. ” says Juha Nykänen, owner and CEO of Maantie Trans
