BAS World B.V.
BAS World B.V. is a private limited company (besloten vennootschap) registered in the Netherlands under Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 17103220. The company was incorporated in March 1998 and is recorded as active in the Dutch Commercial Register as of September 2026. Its registered office is at Mac. Arthurweg 2, 5466 AP Veghel, and it trades under several registered names, including BAS World, BAS Trucks, BAS Machinery, BAS Vans and BAS Tyres. The Dutch trade register records the company’s principal activity as the trade and repair of trailers and semi-trailers (excluding caravans), and its VAT number is NL806859945B02.
According to BAS Group’s official website, BAS World operates as part of the group’s Trade division, running an online marketplace and showroom through which sellers list used trucks, trailers, machinery and equipment for an international audience of buyers. The business traces its roots to Brabantse Automobiel Service, founded in Veghel in 1962, with the BAS Trucks division launched in 1992 and the unified BAS World brand introduced in 2021. Trade register data for the Veghel headquarters establishment records approximately 160 employees at that location; this figure applies to the establishment rather than to the wider BAS World brand or BAS Group as a whole.
BAS World B.V. is not listed on a stock exchange, and no independently verified turnover or company-level financial results were identified for the legal entity during this research. Public reporting associates the BAS World platform and the wider BAS Group with additional operations elsewhere in Europe, including a separately registered German entity, BAS World GmbH, in Dortmund; these do not necessarily reflect the activities of BAS World B.V. itself.

Shareholders
Shareholders of BAS World B.V.
Dutch law does not require a besloten vennootschap such as BAS World B.V. to file its shareholder register with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), and no shareholder register or share-class breakdown for the company was located in the sources reviewed for this profile. Commercial registry data providers report that BAS World B.V. is linked to BAS Group B.V. (KvK number 17120393), registered at the same address in Veghel, but do not disclose a specific shareholding percentage for BAS World B.V. itself. No individual shareholder names or ownership percentages could therefore be independently verified for this legal entity as of September 2026.
Data availability
Classification: Not public. The Netherlands does not publish a public shareholder register for private limited companies, and access to the UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) register has been restricted since the Court of Justice of the European Union’s November 2022 ruling limiting public access to EU beneficial-ownership registers; only parties able to demonstrate a legitimate interest can now request UBO data from KvK.

Directors and officers of BAS World B.V.
The Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) trade register records officer appointments for BAS World B.V., but the named individuals currently serving as director(s) of this specific legal entity were not accessible through the free registry extracts and commercial-directory previews reviewed for this profile; full appointment details require a paid KvK company extract (uittreksel) that was not obtained during this research. Public reporting on BAS Group’s wider leadership – not confirmed as applying to BAS World B.V. specifically – states that brothers Casper and Bas van Heertum have directed the BAS Group of companies since 2001, following their father Martin van Heertum, who led the business from the 1980s. This information should not be treated as confirming the current officers of BAS World B.V. itself.
Data availability
Classification: Restricted. Officer appointment and resignation records for BAS World B.V. are held in the KvK trade register but were not accessible without a paid extract during this research; nationality and country of residence are separate fields under Dutch registry practice and were not disclosed in the sources reviewed.

Group Structure
Group structure of BAS World B.V.
BAS World B.V. is not an independent company. Commercial registry data providers that compile Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) filings report BAS Group B.V. (KvK number 17120393), registered at the same Mac. Arthurweg 2 address in Veghel, as BAS World B.V.’s parent company; BAS Group’s own website separately confirms that BAS World forms part of the group’s Trade division alongside brands such as BAS Parts & Tyres, BAS Truck Center and BAS Lease. Ownership and voting percentages between BAS Group B.V. and BAS World B.V. were not disclosed in the sources reviewed. One registry data provider additionally reports EXA Holding B.V. and an associated share-administration foundation further up the ownership chain above BAS Group B.V., but this could not be independently corroborated during this research and is treated here as unverified. No verified direct or indirect subsidiaries of BAS World B.V. itself were identified. Information reviewed September 2026.
