Sharp rise in hybrid cars on Dutch roads
The number of hybrid cars with a Dutch numberplate rose almost 70% to 39,000 between January 2009 and January 2010, the national statistics office CBS said on Wednesday.
The increase is largely due to company cars. Around two-thirds of the total are for business use. Nevertheless, just one in 200 cars in the country is a hybrid, the CBS said.
The increase has been helped by tax cuts for hybrid car owners, the CBS said.
