In 2025, public buyers in Netherlands awarded 18 supply contracts for vehicle bodies, trailers or semi-trailers through award notices on TED; the 11 of them that state a value (61.1%) add up to €49.2 million. Netherlands imported €2.7 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to vehicle bodies, trailers or semi-trailers in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8716 and 8707; all buyers, not only public ones), down 15% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 43 companies have won 59 public supply contracts for vehicle bodies, trailers or semi-trailers in Netherlands, in 44 award notices from 26 public buyers.
  • 88.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Netherlands; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Netherlands — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €242 billion in 2025, 20.7% 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.
