Abstract
The possible growth of the car park in the Netherlands to 8 million cars in 2010 is a result of the combination of demographic developments and an assumed favourable economic growth (the medium CPB-scenario) . Under the assumption that no exogenous factors will slow down or impede the growth of the car park caused by all the growth impulses, 8 million passenger cars can be expected to serve in 2010 the mobility of our nearly 16 million inhabitants in that year.
