<strong>KRONE</strong> Auflieger erleichtern<br />
Mitarbeitern den Alltag und<br />
finden sich häufig bei TCH<br />
<strong>KRONE</strong> trailers make things<br />
easier for the employees and<br />
are often found at TCH<br />
Why does the fascinating story sound so<br />
unspectacular? Perhaps because the<br />
person who is telling it was born with the<br />
businessman’s gene and not as an<br />
eloquent storyteller. When you talk to<br />
Dieter Hauser, the story of the Dieburg<br />
entrepreneur and <strong>KRONE</strong> partner who<br />
worked his way up from driving his own<br />
lorry to heading one of the leading<br />
commercial vehicle rental businesses,<br />
sounds as sober as the stock market news.<br />
In 1968 Hauser started out with a licence<br />
and a truck and mainly did trips within<br />
Germany. Within a short time he had<br />
several branches, with a constantly<br />
growing fleet, although no-one was yet<br />
talking about the rental business, which<br />
wasn’t legal in Germany at that time, a<br />
fact that has almost been forgotten.<br />
Good weather<br />
Hauser adapts his business continuously<br />
to the latest requirements, sends his lorries<br />
abroad and buys refrigerated trailers. He<br />
has also started dealing in second-hand<br />
commercial vehicles. The company grows<br />
to a respectable medium size but there’s<br />
still some way to go.<br />
At the end of the 80s, he just seemed to<br />
sense “there was something in the air”, he<br />
says today about the new area of business<br />
– but it couldn’t have been that easy to<br />
foresee, otherwise more companies would<br />
have started renting out commercial<br />
vehicles.<br />
Dieter Hauser is one of the first to start up<br />
a rental company after the change in the<br />
goods traffic laws in 1990. Today the Truck<br />
Center Hauser (TCH) with 2,700 vehicles,<br />
800 of which are tractor units, is playing<br />
in the Premier League. In the meantime,<br />
Hauser still found time to race trucks with<br />
his brother Jürgen.<br />
His son Michael, who looks after the dayto-day<br />
business at TCH, also followed in<br />
his father’s footsteps to become the<br />
youngest pilot. In 1999 “Fritz-K” in the red<br />
TCH-MAN truck ran away with the<br />
European Championships – and Hauser<br />
again sensed changes. He did not like what<br />
he sees so he gives up truck racing to<br />
concentrate on the business. Hauser tells<br />
the story with little emotion, a quality<br />
which fits this business, especially when<br />
it’s as complex as renting out commercial<br />
vehicles. TCH managed a second place<br />
“VerkehrsRundschau” image ranking. <br />
