Commercial vehicles in the Netherlands - statistics & facts
Over 1,700 new transport and logistics companies were created in the Netherlands in the second quarter of 2020 despite the economic repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic. This rise in new businesses offsets the dissolutions of that same quarter, which were fewer than 700. These figures showcase a positive evolution for the transportation industry in the Netherlands at the beginning of 2020, after the sector had shrunk in the latter quarters of 2019. As a part of this industry, truck dealerships were estimated to generate some 6.2 billion euros in revenue in 2019. The transportation and logistics industries are projected to grow in 2021, with forecasts predicting the goods road transport sector will rise by a steady 1.3 percent, while post and couriers are expected to increase by two percent.
