In the economics of today’s road transport sector, the second and even third or fourth phase of the life cycle plays an important role in the service life of a truck or delivery van.

The Kleyn Group, whose mission is to be the leading

global distribution network for second-hand commercial

vehicles, is currently the largest independent commercial

enterprise specialising in European trucks and delivery

vans. At this point in the life cycle of a commercial

vehicle, Kleyn works as a partner for suppliers and buyers

of second-hand vehicles. Every year, around nine thousand

trucks, semi-trailers, trailers and delivery vans change

hands through the Kleyn Group.

These vehicles are purchased from business partners

(transport companies, fleet owners, leasing companies,

dealers and, in recent years, from banks) across Europe

and occasionally from suppliers outside of Europe. They are

then sold to buyers in around 150 export countries.

As the link between supply and demand, the Kleyn Group

works with a team of around 100 professionals (80 FTE),

each with his or her own specialty and the expertise and

tools to bring together supply and demand and, in doing

so, ensure the right quality, delivery time, administrative

handling and service. Kleyn has a permanent stock of

an optimal mix of trucks and delivery vans from various

brands, types and price brackets, suitable for a wide range

of uses and tailored to diverse groups of buyers in different

markets.

The Kleyn Group has three active subsidiaries: Kleyn

Trucks B.V., Kleyn Vans B.V. and Kleyn Services B.V.

Kleyn Trucks specialises in tractors, trucks, semi-trailers

and trailers, while Kleyn Vans sells light commercial

vehicles and Kleyn Services provides repair, maintenance

and logistic support, among other services. Plans to

establish a fourth subsidiary called Kleyn Trailers are at an

advanced stage.

The foundation for the Kleyn Group was laid in 1919. In

other words, the enterprise has nearly one hundred years

of experience behind it. More important than the past, of

course, is the future - and the future of the Kleyn Group

holds excellent promise thanks to rapidly growing global

marketing channels for high-quality European commercial

vehicles.
