96% of new cars in Switzerland now with DAB+ as standard (Q1 2020)
OFCOM surveys show that the proportion of new vehicles in which DAB+ reception is fitted as standard rose sharply again in 2018 and is now over 91%. This means that the requirement that will apply in the European Union from the end of 2020, whereby every new passenger vehicle must be DAB+-capable, has almost already been met in Switzerland.
In 2019, it estimated that around 315.000 new cars equipped with DAB+ radio were sold.
DAB+ now the most popular form of reception in cars
In cars, DAB+ has also taken over from FM as the principal means of receiving radio broadcasts. Among motorists, reception of transmissions via DAB+ or internet radio now accounts for 55 percent of total usage.
