Romania imported €392 million 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 37.9% from 2023.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Romania — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €47.7 billion in 2025, 12.5% 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.
