October 2025 saw the highest commercial vehicle sales this year, but figures remain low compared to previous years.
October 2025 proved to be a record month for commercial vehicle sales in the Netherlands. According to figures from Autoreview, more vans were sold in October than in any other month this year. Yet the total number of commercial vehicles sold remains strikingly low.
The record is, according to the industry, a dubious milestone. Despite the October peak, sales figures lag behind expectations and previous years. The commercial vehicle market has been facing headwinds for some time.
Exact sales figures have not been disclosed, but Autoreview describes the level as 'bizarrely' low. It is unclear whether the October increase marks a structural turnaround or is merely a temporary effect.
The October 2025 record is not a sign of a healthy market. Entrepreneurs and freelancers are responding to upcoming changes in BPM (private motor vehicle tax) and motor vehicle tax. From 2025, electric vans will be taxed more heavily as the BPM exemption is phased out. At the same time, BPM for diesel versions will rise sharply due to a stricter CO₂ levy. Many buyers are trying to quickly purchase a diesel van before rates increase further.
The popularity of electric models is growing, but the pace remains behind expectations. Entrepreneurs fear limited range and a lack of charging infrastructure. Nevertheless, this is the moment to keep a close eye on the market, even if you want to sell your current commercial vehicle.
