Bahn Express: Transforming cross-border used car deliveries
Matias Blomberg and Atte Vesala, founders of Bahn Express.
In a world where almost anything can be delivered within hours, one notable exception remains: cars. Despite the logistics industry being optimized for countless goods, car deliveries have lagged behind, stuck in outdated processes that frustrate dealers and customers alike. That’s the problem Matias Blomberg and Atte Vesala are trying to solve.
Matias and Atte are not your average founders. They’re both driven to extremes - quite literally. Their team includes ultrarunners, special forces operatives, and national-level athletes. Bahn Express isn’t their first venture, either. They previously built a company together, which sharpened their understanding of operations-heavy businesses - the kind of challenges they thrive on.
Delivering cars faster than ever
Bahn Express offers a streamlined solution that reduces cross-border used car delivery times from an industry average of 10-30 days to just 2-5 days and up to €400 in cost savings compared to traditional methods. By efficiently matching drivers with dealerships' delivery requests, the company solves a critical pain point for used car dealerships, which often lose up to 20% of their profits due to delayed deliveries.
Rather than relying on the traditional trucking industry, which has dominated the market for years, Bahn Express is introducing a driver-optimized platform that brings much-needed efficiency and transparency to car transport.
"Over the past year, I've followed Matias and Atte's journey closely. They are not newcomers to entrepreneurship. They've been working together for years and have built a company before launching Bahn Express. Their practical experience and determined approach have enabled them to make rapid progress in a complex, operations-heavy industry. In just one year they have grown from zero revenue to six-figure monthly turnover. Today, they have completed more than 1 000 successful deliveries with a network of over 300 qualified drivers, and have handled 70% of car deliveries to major Finnish dealers such as Kamux, Saka and Veho. I’m confident they have what it takes to build a truly successful company,” comments Zechen Ma, Investor at Wave Ventures, who also led the investment.
Building for the future
Backed by pre-seed funding from Wave, Innovestor, Trind and prominent angels from Wolt and Swappie, Bahn Express is preparing for the next phase of growth. With plans to scale across Europe and further develop their technology, they are on track to redefine car logistics as an efficient, tech-driven industry.
What makes Bahn Express stand out isn’t just the speed of their growth but their founders' clear vision for a better way to move cars across borders. In an industry where innovation is long overdue, they are proving that change is not only possible, it is already happening.
