15 december 2022

The world is changing and so is the car industry. This also means that in 2023 there will be a number of trends that you can expect in the automotive sector. You can read what these are in this blog.

Electric driving is becoming more popular every day

We all know that we have to take care of our planet. One way you can contribute to this is by driving electric or hybrid. An electric car emits considerably less CO2 than a fuel car. In 2023, electric driving will be even more encouraged than the year before: fuel cars will have to pay more BPM and road tax, among other things, in contrast to electric cars. You will also still have to pay less additional tax for an electric car in 2023, even if this applies to the first 30,000 euros in 2023; by 2022 it was up to 35,000.

Technology is increasingly becoming the norm

We live in a period in which technical gadgets are flying around our ears. This also applies in the automotive industry, and in 2023 technology will increasingly take center stage. Just think of the electric car, which – as mentioned above – is becoming increasingly popular. There are also more and more cars that can steer themselves, so-called 'autonomous driving'.
