Using S + need +to be + Past Participle /S+ need Ving (Passive Infinitive or Gerund) as a passive voice indicates that this needs to be done.

vS + need + to be + V 3 /ed

Example:

This car needs to be repaired

His hair needs to be cut

The dishes need to be washed

Example:

This car need repairing.

His hair needs cutting.

The dishes need washing.

It can be seen that the use of need to be pp (need + to be + Passive Participle) or the use

of need Ving (need + gerund) both have the same meaning and have the same passive voice meaning both.
