What Dingemanse does

Dingemanse B.V. is a third-generation, family-owned Dutch dealer of used commercial vehicles, headquartered in Hoogerheide, Netherlands (Antwerpsestraatweg 177). Founded in 1953 by Dries Dingemanse, the company specializes in the buy-and-resell of used trucks (vrachtwagens), tractors (trekkers), semi-trailers (opleggers), tank trailers (tankopleggers), tank containers, vans (bestelwagens), trailers (aanhangwagens), machines, and spare parts. Inventory is sourced across Western Europe — primarily France, Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium — and resold to international transport companies, with approximately 95% of vehicles exported outside the Netherlands and roughly 50% shipped outside the European Union.

The business operates from two facilities: the 40,000 m2 main headquarters in Hoogerheide and a 23,000 m2 storage and warehousing site in Rilland acquired in 2015, the latter capable of sheltering approximately 100 vehicles and used primarily for tank-trailer storage. Dingemanse holds AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification from the Dutch Customs Authority, conferring trusted-trader status and preferential customs treatment. The company's distribution moat is anchored by proximity to the Ports of Antwerp (30 km) and Rotterdam (80 km), with complimentary delivery offered to Antwerp, Vlissingen, and Rotterdam.

The revenue model is one-time sales of individual used vehicles at negotiated Euro prices published on the website. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, supported by a seven-language website (Dutch, English, German, Spanish, French, Polish, Russian), newsletter-driven repeat-buyer engagement, and partnerships with Dutch transport companies for European last-mile delivery. Management remains within the Dingemanse family, with Adri Dingemanse holding full operational control since 2006 and third-generation member Linda Dingemanse on board since 2012.

Direct peers

• Kleyn Trucks: Dutch used commercial vehicle dealer offering trucks, trailers, vans, and tractors with export services; comparable in geography (NL), customer base (international transport buyers), and core business model of remarketing used vehicles globally.
• Mascus: Online marketplace for used heavy machinery, trucks, and trailers across Europe; comparable as a digital channel connecting European fleet sellers with international commercial-vehicle buyers in the same remarketing flow.
• Truck1.eu: Online marketplace aggregating used commercial vehicles from European dealers and private sellers; comparable as a cross-border used-truck sales channel serving similar international transport-company buyers.

Broad incumbents

• DAF Used Trucks: OEM-backed used-truck program from a major Dutch truck manufacturer; comparable as a competing supply of certified used commercial vehicles, though limited to one brand and operating through a wider dealer/finance network.
• Ritchie Bros. Auctioneer: Global auction house for trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment with strong European presence; comparable as a competing used-commercial-vehicle remarketing channel, especially for cross-border fleet disposals.
• Scania Used Trucks: OEM's certified used-truck program offering refurbished vehicles with warranty; comparable as a competing supply of used commercial vehicles, though from a single brand and with broader service-portfolio backing.
• Volvo Trucks Used Trucks: OEM's official used commercial vehicle program; competes in the same international used-truck market as Dingemanse but with brand certification, financing, and warranty backing from a global manufacturer.

Emerging players

• GLS Vehicle Services: European vehicle transport and export logistics specialist; comparable in handling cross-border commercial-vehicle movement, though focused on the shipping/logistics layer rather than dealer inventory.

Regional players

• Truck & Plant Sales UK: UK-based dealer in used trucks, trailers, and plant equipment with European reach; comparable business model and product mix but primarily serves a different home market and competes more regionally.
