P van der Velden

What P van der Velden does

P van der Velden Lease B.V. is a family-owned Dutch commercial vehicle leasing, rental, and export company founded in 1983 by Piet van der Velden and operated since 1996 by his sons Casper and Peter. The firm serves B2B customers—primarily construction firms, transport and logistics operators, waste managers, and industrial equipment users in the Netherlands and selected international markets—with delivery vans, tractors, tippers, crane trucks, and concrete mixers. Revenue is generated through operational leases (where P van der Velden retains ownership and covers maintenance), financial leases (where the customer becomes economic owner), short-term rentals from stock, sale-and-lease-back transactions, and export sales of semi-finished vehicles with global technician support and driver training. The company maintains in-house workshops in Barendrecht and Rotterdam, plus a multi-region export channel covering Asia, Africa, the Middle East, North America, and South America.

The company's distinguishing technical capability is in electric mobility: in January 2021 it launched E-Concrete, positioned as the world's first fully electric 8x4 concrete mixer, developed in partnership with EMOSS Mobile Systems B.V. and A. Boogert Service B.V. with approximately 500,000 EUR in Dutch government DKTI-Transport subsidy. Subsequent deployments include an electric portaalwagen for SUEZ's waste collection in Rotterdam, the Wattsnew sub-brand for electric vans, and the Farizon SV line of born-electric commercial vehicles. The company's own fleet operates emissions-free, charged via 500 rooftop solar panels on its facilities.
