We are VDL Special Vehicles. We specialise in vehicle conversions, body construction, and modifications. This also includes battery-electric and hydrogen solutions for on- and off-road vehicles.

With around 120 employees, VDL Special Vehicles focuses on the assembly of prototype and pre-series vehicles from our location in Born. Driven by innovation, VDL Special Vehicles provides smart mobility solutions for both on- and off-road uses. We mainly operate in three markets:

• Vehicle conversion
• Contract manufacturing
• Pre-delivery inspections (PDI)

We are an organisation that believes in long-term relationships with our customers. We like to think along with them early on. This helps them stay successful or become successful within their market segment. The variety of markets provides more than continuity for the company. It also offers diverse challenges in engineering, project management, and production. This demands high levels of creativity, flexibility, ingenuity, and dedication from our employees.

As a contract manufacturer, we offer production capacity for small to medium series (zero-emission) vehicles.

Additionally, we can provide support in areas such as product development, prototyping, and certification of zero-emission drive lines. We can also fully develop an alternative drive line for your application. With a strategy focused on short time-to-market, VDL Special Vehicles enables its customers to offer vehicle solutions that contribute to a cleaner world.
