Czechia imported €1.06 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8607, 8603, 8606, 8601, 8604 and 3 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 35.5% from 2023.

  • 95.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Czechia; the most frequent foreign origin is Slovakia.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Czechia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €50.5 billion in 2025, 14.5% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
