Mobilität in Deutschland: TÜV-Studie: Auto bleibt für die meisten Menschen erste Wahl

A new TÜV study reveals that cars remain the most popular mode of transportation for most Germans. According to the survey of over 2,500 consumers, more than 80% of respondents travel by car at least once a week, while 88% of those with a car in their household do so. Walking comes in second place with 63% of respondents, followed by public transportation used by one in five and cycling by another five percent.

Electromobility is gaining traction among car owners, with 9% owning a pure electric vehicle (BEV) and 25% preferring one when buying a car. Hybrid vehicles are even favored by half of the respondents. However, a slight majority (54%) opposes restrictions on car traffic in urban centers, with 40% supporting such measures. Smaller cities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants show significantly higher opposition (63%) compared to larger cities with over 500,000 residents (49%).

The data is based on a representative Forsa survey conducted among 2,504 people between March 19 and April 10, commissioned by the TÜV association.
