Dutch driving trends shift as car ownership evolves over eight years
New figures reveal trends in Dutch driving and car ownership over eight years. The data, collected annually on January 1, tracks the number of people aged 18 and older holding a category B driver's licence and those owning cars. Official records from the Netherlands Vehicle Authority (RDW) and household surveys form the basis of the report.
The statistics cover the period from 2019 to 2026. Each year's snapshot includes all adults legally permitted to drive in the Netherlands. The breakdown also highlights age-specific patterns for the first and last years of the study.
The Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) compiled the numbers using RDW registry data and household interviews. These were then published on the CBS StatLine platform for public access.
The report provides a clear overview of how driver's licence and car ownership rates have shifted among Dutch adults. Detailed age-based figures for 2019 and 2026 offer additional insight into generational differences. The data remains available for further analysis through official CBS channels.
