Belgium Mobility Week highlights car dominance; budget seen greening fleet, not cutting car numbers

Belgium's Mobility Week underscores persistent car dependence, with vehicle numbers rising 0.83% annually over the past decade to 6.2 million, per Statbel. SD Worx suggests the mobility budget will initially green the fleet rather than reduce car counts, signaling limited near-term modal shift. The development highlights policy inertia in transport decarbonization, with implications for urban air quality and climate targets.
