      <title>Number of driving licence holders and car owners on the rise</title>
      <description>At the beginning of 2026, the number of people in the Netherlands who hold a driving licence and own a car was higher than in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic. People aged 75 and over, in particular, are now more likely to own and drive a car. However, the share of people aged under 30 who have a driving licence has fallen slightly, while car ownership has risen somewhat. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of newly released figures.</description>

      <description>In the first quarter of 2025, the number of plug-in cars in the Netherlands surpassed 1 million for the first time. That means that more than one in ten passenger cars in the Netherlands is now a plug-in car. Plug-in cars include both fully electric cars (594 thousand) and plug-in hybrids (410 thousand). Previously, plug-in cars were more popular among business drivers, but in Q1 2025 private owners made up the majority for the first time.

      <description>Passenger cars have increased in weight by an average of 94 kilograms, or 8.1 percent, over the past ten years. This is partly due to an increase in the number of battery-powered cars, which are relatively heavy. New cars are also getting longer and wider, on average.

      <description>In 2023, 3.6 million kilograms of particulate matter were emitted from road traffic in the Netherlands, 16.3 percent less than in 2013. This reduction is mainly due to cleaner engines and the use of diesel particulate filters. Road traffic increased by 6.9 percent in terms of kilometres travelled compared to ten years earlier. Light commercial vehicles emitted less, in particular. This is according to new figures released by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).</description>

      <title>Transportation of hazardous materials at lowest level since 2015</title>
      <description>Over 657 million tonnes of hazardous materials were transported over Dutch territorial waters and via Dutch roads, railways and pipelines in 2023. That was down 3.6 percent from 2022 and the lowest quantity transported since 2015. The transportation of gases saw a particular drop: the quantity transported in 2023 was 56.6 percent lower than that transported in 2015. This is mainly due to the decline in natural gas extraction in the Netherlands. The import of gases has actually increased in recent years, mainly due to a rise in LNG imports arriving by tanker. This is reported by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) on the basis of newly published figures.</description>

      <title>Electric vehicles overtake diesel vehicles among business drivers</title>
      <description>For the first time in 2023, business drivers of passenger cars drove more kilometres in electrically powered vehicles than they did in diesel-powered vehicles (including diesel hybrids). The total number of kilometres travelled in all-electric vehicles was 5.6 billion, while the total for diesel-powered vehicles was 3.6 billion. Nearly a quarter of the total distance driven for business purposes is now covered in electric vehicles. Petrol-powered cars remain the favourite, however, and they are also the most popular among private individuals. This is reported by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) on the basis of new figures on the distance driven in different types of vehicles.</description>

Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on newly released figures.</description>

      <title>A smart Travel Survey. Results of a push-to-smart field experiment in the Netherlands</title>
      <description>Travel Surveys are considered promising candidates to go ‘smart’. Respondents need to be both motivated and competent to correctly report all details of their travels for a specified time period. Location tracking offers options to remove burden and to improve quality of measurement. Adding contextual information, the collected location data may also be input to predictions of travel mode and travel purpose. However, location tracking may be perceived as privacy-sensitive by respondents. Furthermore, location data are subject to various types of error that (in part) can only be adjusted for with the help of respondents. It is, therefore, not evident that the promise of smart features will hold in practice. For this reason, Statistics Netherlands conducted a first field test in 2018 using a proof-of-concept travel app. Response rates clearly showed variation across relevant subgroups in the population, but were sufficiently high to justify further development and experimentation.</description>

      <description>In 2023, Dutch lorries carried a total weight of 642 million tonnes of goods. That was 7 percent less than in 2022, marking the lowest weight carried since 2015. This decline was mainly due to fewer goods being transported within the Netherlands. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of new figures.</description>

      <description>A total of 39.3 million tonnes of goods were transported by rail in the Netherlands in 2023. That was 11.5 percent less than in the peak year of 2022, which saw the largest volume of freight transported by rail ever. This decline was mainly attributable to the amount of coal and goods containers transported. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of new figures.</description>
