On the lifecycle, what does emit less an electric car, a diesel or a petrol one?

You can find plenty of articles related to this topic. Transport & Environment (T&E) published a comparison tool to compare both in a specific case. This lifecycle analysis (#LCAA) takes into account the car size, the battery production country and the electricity mix in the country where the car is used. One element is not included: the recycling cost and impact of batteries (because still unknown and unclear) This tool will be useful when considering fleet electrificatio

MaaS: THE solution?

Last week DriveNow left Brussels and this week, STIB-MIVB announces the launch of a MaaS test with 2000. When talking about mobility management, we hear a lot about #MaaS (#Mobility as a Service). The questions are : 📌 What do we need on top of the current #publictransport offer? 📌 Which kind of services? 📌 For whom? 📌 When? 📌 Why? Most of the commuters are going every day at their office (except #homeworking days). And most of them are doing every day the same commute

Mobility is the top priority for 75% of the entrepreneurs in Brussels

In the last "baromètre de l'entreprise" or "Ondernemingsbarometer" from Beci, it appears that mobility is the top priority for 75% of the entrepreneurs in Brussels (against 68% 6 months ago). It shows as well that 75% of them are ready to make the working hours more flexible to reduce traffic jams in Brussels. Now that we are on a holiday period and that the traffic jams significantly reduced, there are two sets of figures that I like to remind: 10% fewer cars on the road dur

TomTom published last week his yearly TomTom Traffic Index.

Congestion in Belgian cities remains high, especially on Tuesday and Thursday morning and evening. On average 23 extra minutes are needed per 30 minutes trip (i.e. +76% of total time). This correspond to 154 episodes of Game of Thrones. With this level, e-bike, speed pedelec, public transport or even homeworking or late departure can become real alternatives. Now such mobility change requires change management and testing phase. Analysing the mobility shift potential, its

2019 STIB-MIVBresults are known

As the 2019 NMBS-SNCB results in terms of passengers shared last week, the results for the STIB-MIVB are aligned: +4% compared to 2018.
