What dubbelsteyn | bmw & mini does

Hedin Automotive B.V. (formerly operating as Dubbelsteyn | BMW & MINI) is the Dutch BMW and MINI retail subsidiary of Sweden's Hedin Mobility Group, operating seven authorized dealerships across the provinces of Noord-Brabant, Zeeland, and Zuid-Holland. The business sells new BMW and MINI vehicles, certified pre-owned vehicles under the Hedin Certified program, and provides associated financing, leasing, insurance, maintenance, and repair services. As an authorized franchise holder, the company does not develop proprietary automotive technology but monetizes BMW Group's vehicle platforms and software through its own retail and aftermarket channels, supplemented by group-level services such as BMW Service Inclusive maintenance packages and Hedin Automotive Fleet Services for corporate customers.

The company's revenue model is a hybrid of new-vehicle sales, used-vehicle sales, parts and service (aftermarket), and financing/insurance income (F&I) — a structure typical of authorized European auto retail. Customers are predominantly Dutch retail buyers in three southern provinces, with an additional B2B channel served via Hedin Automotive Fleet Services for corporate fleets. Adjacent revenue streams include EV charging through the group's Cube Charging partnership and short-term rental via Hedin Car Rental. The entity was acquired by Hedin Mobility Group in 2023 (from the Dubbelsteyn family via its Renova subsidiary) and rebranded to Hedin Automotive in October 2024 to unify with the parent group's pan-European identity.

Strategically, the dealer is positioning for BMW's Neue Klasse EV cycle, including the iX5, while pursuing Certified Sustainable Dealer status and integration into the parent group's wider mobility ecosystem (charging, fleet, rental, and certified used). The parent Hedin Mobility Group operates 30+ brands and reports 7,000+ vehicles in inventory, providing scale benefits in procurement and cross-brand customer retention that independent single-franchise Dutch competitors cannot easily match.
