Influenced by the European Green Deal and national, regional, and local initiatives and regulations in Belgium, the evolution from fossil-powered vehicles to electrically powered vehicles is undergoing rapid development. This is accompanied by the development of charging infrastructure in the public, semi-public, and private domain. The main objective of this project was to develop an opportunity report to get a good picture of the current state of affairs in Belgium and the developments and opportunities in this sector. The following issues were addressed:
- The current situation and expected evolution regarding registrations of new electrically powered vehicles, fleet, and charging infrastructure (public, publicly accessible, and private).
- The policies and plans of the various authorities (federal, regional, provincial, and municipal) and key companies regarding electric transport, charging infrastructure, and possibly related products and services; specifically, this implied a view of upcoming public procurement and investment plans of relevant private players.
- In addition to developments regarding electrically powered passenger cars, developments regarding buses and trucks as well as related charging infrastructure.
- An overview of the various parties regarding supply and demand.
- The opportunities for Dutch business operating in this sector, as part of a SWOT diagram. Here, we also clearly portrayed the constraints in the business environment and offered suggestions on how entrepreneurs can best deal with them.
