03.02.202608:35:43UTC+00Belgian New Car Sales Drop in January

In January 2026, new car sales in Belgium experienced an 18.7% decline compared to the same month in the previous year, with sales totaling 32,997 units. This downturn contrasts with the 23.2% increase recorded in December 2025 and is primarily attributed to the introduction of a new EURO emissions standard on January 1, 2026, which led to an accelerated number of vehicle registrations in December 2025. Gasoline vehicles maintained their popularity, capturing a 42.7% share of the market for the month. Notably, fully electric vehicles demonstrated the strongest growth, as their market share increased by 2 percentage points compared to the 2025 annual average, reaching 36.7% and positioning them just behind gasoline-powered models. According to FEBIAC, this January decline should not be considered indicative of the overall trends expected in 2026, as the commercial benefits of the 102nd Brussels Motor Show are likely to become evident in the coming months.
