    EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility. Towns and cities are warmly invited to register for EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK, in preparation for the event taking place from 16 – 22 September.

    The updated registration system means that towns and cities are able to easily register the activities they plan to carry out. This will allow the event organisers to better understand and assess the impact of the campaign. Participating cities are strongly encouraged to implement all three activities.

    The activities can include:

    • Organising activities focused on sustainable mobility during the event week
    • Implementing one or more permanent transport measures throughout the year
    • Holding a “Car-Free-Day”

    It’s important to note that only the official local authority of the participating town or city may register on behalf of that city.

    Can’t wait until 16 – 22 September to promote sustainable urban mobility and encourage behavioural change?

    NGO’s businesses, civil society organisations, citizens initiatives, schools and local administrations are called on to register at any time throughout the year for MOBILITYACTION.

    The initiative aims to promote sustainable urban mobility and encourage behavioural change towards this end. The organisers are interested in hearing about activities that have been organised to promote sustainable urban mobility at any time during the year. Examples of these activities may include, cycling to work schemes or employers encouraging employees to use public transport. EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is interested in your organisations’ success stories.

    The actions should promote behavioural shift towards sustainable mobility culture and should be of a promotional rather than technical nature.

  2. 2020: E-motorcycles & speed pedelecs push European L-category registrations forward

    Comments Off on 2020: E-motorcycles & speed pedelecs push European L-category registrations forward

    Last year, the European motorcycle market only continued to grow thanks to increased sales of electric vehicles. Electric mopeds already achieve a share of more than 20 % in registrations. That is largely to the credit of speed pedelecs.


    2020 was a symbolically important year for electric motorcycles. It was only thanks to them that the total EU market continued to grow. Their registrations jumped from 12,263 to 18,620, almost 52% growth. The registration of internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles completely stagnated, despite increased pre-registrations due to the validity of Euro 4 approvals ending on 31 December 2020. The share of electric motorcycles in total registration rose from 1.4 to 2.1%. The Corona-crisis appears to have had a rather beneficial effect on e-motorcycle sales with significant increases in most months except in April, June, October and November.

    Spain remained the largest market with 6,370 registrations, which is plus 7%. The biggest growth however occurred in Italy where registrations were almost 3.5 times higher than in 2019. Italy became the second biggest market with more than 5,600 registrations. In 2020, the country had a € 1.3 million budget for scrapping ICE- and purchasing electric L-category vehicles. France on number 3 booked 30.5% more and Germany 53.6%. France also has a national incentives’ program, while Germany only has measures in place in a few regions.

    Electric moped registrations also increased, but only by 12.5% from 52,000 to 58,500. That was 1% less than then the growth of the total moped market. E-mopeds already have a 21% share in total registrations. It should be taken into account that these number include speed pedelecs.
    In 2 countries, registrations made a major leap of more than 50%. The Netherlands jumped over Belgium to become number one with just under 20,000 registrations. The Netherlands offer extensive tax exemption and deduction for e-vehicles. In Spain, registrations increased from + 5,500 tot + 8,500.

    In two countries, registrations declined: with more than 20% in France to just under 11,000 and with 10% in Belgium to almost 14,400. In reality, the Belgian e-moped registrations only included 1,891 conventional e-mopeds. That was almost 40% less than in 2019. This decline was due to the deletion of the successful Flemish subsidy for e-mopeds (excluding speed pedelecs). Of the Belgian 14,400 registrations last year, 12,500 were speed pedelecs.

  3. Belgian 2020 speed pedelec registrations slightly lower than in 2019

    Comments Off on Belgian 2020 speed pedelec registrations slightly lower than in 2019

    The Belgian registrations of speed pedelecs in 2020 did not match the results of 2019. The registrations came to a total of 12,503. That is 413 units or 3.2% less than the year before. In that year, speed pedelec registrations in Belgium made a leap of more than 44%.

    The lockdowns in Belgium have clearly taken their toll. The country was locked for the first time from March 17 to May 3. Sales in those three months were more than 26% lower than in the same period in 2019. In the second lockdown from 2 November to 13 December, the damage was limited. Only 1.7% fewer speed pedelecs were registered in November and December.

    In June, and especially in August, there was a lot of catching up. The registrations in June were a quarter higher than in 2019, in August the increase even reached 36%. These figures probably include quite a number of speed pedelecs that could not be delivered in the lockdown.

    It is not clear to what extent the shortage of parts has affected sales. From September onwards, registrations consistently lagged behind the year before, although the positive effect of COVID-19 should have played out in those months.
