Dutch entrepreneurs expect to share cars or bicycles in future!

Dutch entrepreneurs are very positive about sharing transport such as cars and bicycles. No fewer than two in three (66%) expect eventually to move from ownership to sharing, according to new research by ANWB Zakelijk among 449 SME entrepreneurs and self-employed people. SME entrepreneurs are the most positive about shared transport: 73% expect to make the switch, compared with half of sole traders.

Entrepreneurs differ on when they expect to switch. The largest group, a quarter, expects it to happen within three to five years.

Younger entrepreneurs also appear more positive about shared mobility. As many as 87% of those aged 18–34 expect to share in future, compared with 66% of 35–54-year-olds and 58% of 55–75-year-olds.
