Why is MILES shutting down in Belgium?
- Despite a positive trend in utilization figures in Belgium, operations have been increasingly affected by vandalism, misuse of vehicles and attempted theft in the past two years, particularly in the Brussels region. These external factors had a significant negative impact on the company's financial results. Comprehensive countermeasures were unable to satisfactorily reduce these challenges.
- Future decisions on a potential return to the Belgian market will depend in particular on how the crime and vandalism problem in Belgium develops over the next few years.
