Best Transport is a leading supplier of time-critical logistics services including distribution, IT-logistics and last-mile home delivery to both consumers and the business-to-business market. Best has approximately 550 vehicles across its network and operates across Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
The company’s history dates back to 1976 when the founder Bengt Alm established “Benkes Budbilar” (Benke’s Delivery Vans). Since then, the company has shown significant organic growth combined with market consolidation through several acquisitions. The ambition is to be the “Nordic leader within time-critical transport and logistics services”.
Best Transport has operations in Sweden (Stockholm, Uppsala, Gothenburg, Malmö, Växjö, Jönköping), Norway (Oslo) and in Denmark (Copenhagen). Through its network of franchisees and partners, Best is also active in approximately 20 additional Swedish locations and is thus able to deliver to approximately 70 percent of the Swedish population.

Investment background
Best has a leading position in an attractive market driven by urbanization, growing e-commerce and an increasing demand for same-day delivery. Best has good potential to become the Nordic leader within time-critical transport and logistics solutions as well as an established platform for both continued Nordic expansion and international roll-out.
Fossil free deliveries
Best Transport’s climate report (in accordance with the GHG protocol) shows that 95 percent of its climate impact comes from the transport assignments they perform. The main focus in its environmental work is therefore the conversion to fossil free fuels such as HVO100, electricity or biogas.
Milestones in the conversion to fossil free fuels:
- In 2020, Best converted vehicles that perform home deliveries in 275 Swedish locations to fossil-free.
- In 2021, Best converted 146 new vehicles to fossil free fuels.
- As of January 1, 2022, all deliveries performed by Best’s approximately 550 own vehicles (fully-owned or through carrier agreements) were fossil free.
