Key insights from the 2025 edition

Cars remain central, with 89% of households owning at least one vehicle. Yet, 28% of multi-car families are considering downsizing.
Electromobility is growing, but barriers remain: cost, range, and charging infrastructure. 50% of Belgians want a charging point within 1 km of their home.
Generational differences are striking: 57% of 18–34-year-olds consider buying an electric vehicle, compared to 22% of 54–64-year-olds.
Electric bikes are gaining ground, especially in Flanders and Brussels. Corporate bike leasing rose from 36% to 41% in one year.
Shared mobility is expanding, especially among young urban users (54% of 18–34-year-olds), though overall adoption remains limited.
Mobility budgets are underused: 66% have heard of them, but only 5% use them. Younger generations are more open to diversifying their mobility choices.
Companies are accelerating the transition: the share of electric vehicles in fleets rose from 17% to 32% in one year.

A strong commitment to sustainable mobility

Through Polaris, D’Ieteren reaffirms its role as a catalyst for responsible mobility, investing in innovative solutions: micromobility, electrification, bike leasing, and more.
