In the Netherlands, 60% of weekly radio listening in the Netherlands is done in cars or on the move and 20% of all listening time is in cars. 16% of new cars in the Netherlands come with DAB+ as standard and more than 46% as an option (Source: JATO Dynamics 2015). This is up from 6% in 2014.

Co-operation with car industry is crucial to the success of DAB+ and the automotive industry is supported through information sessions where car audio retailers and installers are kept up to date with developments in digital radio and supporting marketing campaigns promoting DAB+ digital radio listening. 

Approximately 8,000,000 cars have been sold in the Netherlands to date. Each year approximately 400,000 new cars are sold.

Digital Radio NL has 6 advertising flights in total over the year 2016. Part of our campaign are radio commercials that focus on automotive (making people aware that you can have DAB+ in your car).
