Freight Transport and Luxury Business Travel, Tailored to Your Needs

The founder of Tonic Cargo, Péter Konyári, began his career as a logistics manager, gaining an in-depth understanding of all aspects of logistics and transportation processes—from small packages to large-volume cargo. Over time, he increasingly recognized that the market’s changing needs required more flexible solutions.

Freight Transport Tailored to Individual Needs

“Even back then, it was clear that certain traditional methods in the logistics industry were becoming obsolete. That’s when I realized that with smaller vehicles and faster, more flexible services, we could better meet our partners’ needs,”

recalled Péter Konyári. Based on this idea, he started working with 3.5-ton, 8-9 pallet curtain-sided vans, which enabled the completion of smaller-scale but fast, express transport assignments.

During the first few years, the company exclusively used 3.5-ton vehicles, whose size and capacity were ideal for transporting smaller shipments. The company placed a strong emphasis on ensuring that the type and equipment of vehicles always matched the specific characteristics of the goods being transported.

“Some of our clients needed lightweight but high-volume products transported, while others required the delivery of smaller yet heavier loads. We tailored our fleet to consistently meet these diverse needs,”

explained Péter Konyári to Trade Magazine.

The vehicle fleet has expanded continuously in response to customer needs. Over the years, enclosed box models were added alongside the initial curtain-sided vans, allowing for the secure transport of heavier cargo. The success achieved in express transport was reflected in customer satisfaction, helping Tonic Cargo gain an increasingly stable market position. Around 2010, the growing volume of goods created new demands, prompting further developments at Tonic Cargo. The fleet expanded to include 7.5-ton curtain-sided vehicles for 18 pallets, and later, 12-ton vehicles and XL-code curtain-sided semi-trailers were introduced in 2013. 

Growth did not stop there. The introduction of 18-ton trucks in 2018 brought a new dimension to the services. These trucks were equipped with tail lifts and pallet-handling tools, making cargo handling even more efficient, especially at locations lacking proper unloading equipment.

Luxury Vans and Cars for Business Trips and Vacations

Innovation and a pioneering approach are recurring elements in Tonic Cargo’s history.

“We have always aimed to develop solutions that anticipate market needs,”

stated Péter Konyári. One of the milestones in Tonic Cargo’s continuous development was the introduction of premium-category vans into service. The idea stemmed from frequent client requests for comfortable, high-end vehicles for long business trips or family vacations. 

The vans offered by Tonic Cargo are not just means of transport but complete solutions for maximizing travel experiences. Equipped with air suspension and spacious luggage compartments, they accommodate even larger groups and their luggage comfortably. Features such as standing air conditioning, panoramic glass roofs, heated seats, and leather interiors ensure luxurious travel conditions for passengers. 

The car fleet is also young, consisting of vehicles no older than one year, including exclusive models such as a new Mercedes CLE450 Cabrio. This car is an ideal choice for those seeking unique experiences, whether for weekend getaways or extended trips. The four-seater cabrio offers modern features and luxury comforts, highly appreciated by business clients for summer trips to Lake Balaton or overseas exhibitions and vacations.

“We aim to equip all our vehicles with every necessary extra that clients might expect during a long trip. Additionally, every vehicle is stocked with type-specific oil, snow chains, and reflective vests to ensure renters face no inconveniences on the road,”

said the CEO. Rental fees include all costs—insurance, servicing, and highway passes—leaving renters only responsible for refueling and international tolls. The company also offers additional services, such as home delivery of rental vehicles or arranging vehicle maintenance.

Young, Premium-Category Vehicles

The company’s vehicle fleet exclusively consists of new or nearly new vans. The fleet members are automatic and available in various configurations, such as 7-, 8-, or 9-seat models, with short or long wheelbases. Passenger comfort is ensured by extras like panoramic glass roofs, high-quality sound systems, leather seats, 4×4 drive, and even ventilated or cooled seats.

“Most of our vans can even be equipped with tow bars, allowing renters to transport quads, motorboats, or their favorite caravans. Additionally, thanks to our factory-standard three-unit bike racks, renters can bring their bicycles along,”

added Péter Konyári. 

Fleet Highlights

• Mercedes V300 Exclusive: The flagship of the fleet, embodying all elements of luxury. This 7-seater van features a full leather interior, air suspension, standing air conditioning, all-wheel drive, a panoramic glass roof, and a built-in cooling unit. The front and middle seats are ventilated and cooled, which is particularly advantageous during summer travels.
• Volkswagen Multivan: A high-spec, air-suspended model ideal for long journeys. Its standing air conditioning and all-wheel drive ensure comfort and safety under any conditions.
• Ford Transit Tourneo Titanium: Both practical and comfortable, with a large luggage compartment and flexible seating arrangements.
• Mercedes Vito Tourer: A versatile member of the fleet, available in both basic and premium configurations.

 Long-Term Partnerships

Tonic Cargo also offers unique solutions for its corporate partners. Péter Konyári highlighted that the company has initiated programs allowing businesses to provide vehicle usage as a cafeteria benefit to their employees. For example, in long-term “manager-combi” rentals, clients can switch their rented car for a van for one week per year, enabling employees to enjoy maximum comfort during family vacations.

One of the most innovative services is a gift voucher system designed for corporate partners. This allows them to reward employees or clients with the opportunity to travel in a luxury van for a weekend or even a week. This gift has become particularly popular among long-term partners as a unique way to express gratitude for annual collaborations.

Tonic Cargo provides comprehensive, tailored services ranging from freight and logistics solutions to luxury vehicle rentals, fully catering to its clients’ needs.
