What kvdpro does

Kvdbil (formerly Kvdpro) is a Swedish online marketplace operator specializing in the buying and selling of used heavy vehicles and machinery, including trucks, trailers, excavators, wheel loaders, dumpers, agricultural tractors, and forestry equipment. The company runs a self-serve auction platform at kvd.se where users browse listings, place bids, and complete transactions digitally; both auction bidding and fixed-price purchase options are offered, with a standardized documentation protocol applied to every listing to ensure transparent condition reporting. The business is geographically anchored in Sweden through 13 physical storage and pickup locations spanning from Helsingborg to Örnsköldsvik, enabling buyers to inspect and collect vehicles in person, and it supports international buyers through dedicated export services.

The company monetizes via three primary streams: transaction commissions on successful auction sales, fixed-price sales of listed vehicles, and adjacent professional services including transportation, export documentation, and corporate fleet management. Its customer base is diversified across transport and logistics operators, construction and excavation contractors, agriculture and forestry operators, corporate fleet buyers, and international export customers, with a primary go-to-market emphasis on product-led, direct-to-consumer self-service supplemented by enterprise sales channels such as the Fleet Manager platform and the Corporate Portal. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Stockholm with a registered office in Göteborg, Kvdbil is a private company employing 11–50 people and operating under Swedish registration number 556746-1180. The business has recently transitioned its public identity from Kvdpro to Kvdbil to broaden positioning beyond construction machinery into the wider used-vehicle market.

Direct peers

• BCA Marketplace: European vehicle remarketing auctioneer with strong digital platform. Comparable in auction-based vehicle transactions and B2B buyer base, particularly in Northern Europe.

• Euro Auctions: Auctioneer specializing in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and commercial vehicles. Directly comparable in product category and auction distribution model.
• Auto1 Group: European online marketplace for used vehicles connecting professional buyers and sellers. Directly comparable target market (B2B vehicle remarketing) and digital transaction model.

Regional players

• Blinto: Swedish online auction platform specializing in vehicles and specialty items. Comparable Swedish online auction mechanics, though smaller and broader in category mix.
• Catawiki: European online auction platform for specialty and collectible items. Comparable online auction mechanics, though different product category (collectibles rather than heavy vehicles).
• Tradera: Swedish online auction and marketplace owned by PayPal/Etsy. Comparable Swedish online auction model, though Tradera serves broader consumer goods rather than heavy vehicles and machinery.

Broad incumbents

• Copart: Global online vehicle auction platform with significant presence in Europe. Comparable online auction mechanics; primarily serves salvage/total loss but operates in the same online remarketing channel.
• Adevinta (Schibsted): Operator of European online classifieds marketplaces including vehicle verticals. Comparable online marketplace model for used vehicles, though operating at the classified-listing layer rather than full auction execution.
• Manheim (Cox Automotive): One of the largest vehicle remarketing companies globally, operating auctions and digital channels. Overlapping marketplace model for used vehicles, though broader in scope than Kvdbil's heavy-vehicle focus.
