Selected
commercial customers
I agree and think that "commercial customers" is an elegant solution to "Kunden aus der gewerblichen Wirtschaft". :-)

I think they are talking about truck drivers and institutions... which are commercial customers (as opposed to private persons). If you think that this may give the wrong impression, you could use \"customers in/from the commercial sector\" (a bit cumbersome, but it works).
