Fleetkeur — LEZ-compliant routing for Amsterdam delivery fleets

01The problem is hyper-local

If you run a mixed fleet of EVs and Euro-5/6 diesels in an EU city, every delivery stop is a compliance check. Most routing APIs think about traffic and distance. None of them model the specific street, time window, and vehicle-class combinations that trigger a municipal fine.

// ROUTIFIC · ONFLEET · GOOGLE

Generic routing, global rules

Generic route optimisers don’t check kenteken status, Euro-class registration date, ZE-zone transition rules, or exemption status before dispatch. Fleetkeur runs every stop through Dutch compliance data first — published fines are €130 (vans/cars/coaches) and €320 (lorries) per illegal entry.

// YOUR DISPATCHER

Memory + PDF + guesswork

Most small-fleet dispatchers are cross-referencing three PDFs, a WhatsApp from the city council, and a memory of which intersection got enforced last month. That’s not a process. That’s a liability.

// ENTERPRISE TMS

€60K/yr + six-month onboarding

TMS systems that model this cost six figures and ship with a dedicated implementation consultant. Great if you’re DHL. Useless for a 15-van fleet with a three-person ops team.

02How Fleetkeur works

You upload (or POST via API) your stops for the day and your fleet’s vehicle-class roster. We return a route assignment that legally enters the zones you’re authorised for and legally avoids the zones you’re not.

03Why Amsterdam first

Building a pan-EU LEZ-routing API on day one is a trap. Every city has different rules, different classes, different exemptions, different enforcement schedules. We pick one dense, high-risk market and make it airtight before expanding.

// 01

Concentrated pain

Amsterdam has some of the EU’s most aggressive LEZ enforcement: published per-entry fines are €130 for vans/cars/coaches and €320 for lorries (Gemeente Amsterdam, 2026). Repeat exposure across a fleet stacks fast.

// 02

Single rule-set

One set of zone rules means one scraping + normalisation pipeline we can maintain daily. That’s the difference between a product and a never-finished research project.

// 03

Sharp ICP

10–50 vehicle fleets serving Amsterdam last-mile. 300+ of them in the registry. Direct-email reachable. We can talk to 20% of them in 60 days.

04Why Fleetkeur, not a generic LEZ overlay

Generic routing engines have started bolting on LEZ avoidance — Route4Me added it in v5.3.2, and similar overlays exist in larger global TMS platforms. They handle the geometry. They don't handle the Dutch reality: RDW kenteken history, Dutch-language ops UI, the central exemption portal, the 30.6% of NL commercial vehicles that fail Amsterdam Centrum on day one. Here's the honest comparison.

Capability	Fleetkeur	Generic LEZ overlay
NL RDW kenteken-snapshot baked in (every NL operator's pre-2014 baseline pre-computed)	✓	–
Dutch-language ops UI at /nl/ — your dispatcher works in their first language	✓	–
Per-city exemption portal automation (Centraal Loket Milieuzones)	✓	–
Pre-flagged 30.6% pre-2014 NL fleet exposure on every onboarded operator	✓	–
EU-wide rerouting (DE, BE, FR, IT, ES, etc.)	–	✓
Pricing	€815/mo Fleet Pro	varies — typically per-stop or per-vehicle

// We deliberately concede EU-wide rerouting. If your fleet crosses borders daily, a generic overlay may serve you better. If your fleet runs NL last-mile, no generic overlay knows your kentekens, your exemption flow, or your dispatcher's morning routine.

05NL coverage — 5 cities live, 11 scheduled

The Dutch national ZE-zone programme expands from the current 5 enforced LEZ cities to 16+ municipalities by Q3 2026. We're scaffolding city-by-city with verified data from RDW, the Centraal Loket Milieuzones (CLM), and individual gemeente ordinances. Where provincial data hasn't been published yet, we mark it pending rather than guess.

// One paid tier kept on purpose. Per-vehicle pricing creates billing friction the ops team doesn't want; we sized Fleet Pro for the typical 10–30 vehicle Amsterdam fleet. Larger fleet? Email us.
