🔍 End of May, SPF Mobility released key figures on mobility in Belgium.
Here’s what I found:
- 🚗 Car usage: Dominates with 94% of Belgians using cars.

- 🚴♂️ Bikes: Used by 57% of Belgians, with non-electric bikes still preferred (42% vs 26%).

- 🚶 Short distances: Cars are the primary mode of transport for distances over 2 km.
- 🏞️ Journey purposes: 1/3 for leisure, 1/4 for groceries, and 1/5 for commutes.
- 💸 Spending on mobility: Belgian families spend an average of €4328 annually on mobility.
- 📈 Company cars: Increasing steadily, with around 600,000 in 2023. EV and PHEV usage is following a classic hockey stick growth pattern.
