Every government fleet order in the EU is public — but it's scattered across two dozen countries and every language but yours. We follow the notices across all of them, explain the rules that govern them, and dig out the patterns in the data worth knowing before your competitors do.

Ten contracts. One number that counts: how many vehicles. We rank the year’s largest EU fleet awards by units entered in the supplier’s order book. Live until December, when the final standings are stamped.

Public bodies across the EU buy vehicles by published, rule-bound competition — not private negotiation. Here's the system end to end: who buys, how a tender runs, and why it's more open than it looks.
A contract notice looks like bureaucratic noise until you know which five fields decide whether it's worth your time. Here's how to scan one in under a minute.
A piece of EU law quietly turned every public vehicle purchase into a climate-policy instrument — and created a procurement obligation buyers are still figuring out how to meet.
The thinner and more specialised your product, the less your home market can sustain you — and the more EU procurement rules quietly work in your favour. The structural case for looking across borders.
The shift to electric public fleets is usually told as a technology story. Look at where the decisions are actually made, and it's a procurement story — which changes who has the advantage.
