About the organisation

Mechelen lies in the heart of Flanders, between Brussels and Antwerp. It is a medium-sized city with 87,000 inhabitants. As a climate-neutral city we focus on sustainable mobility and logistics. As a result, Mechelen is among the leaders in Flanders when it comes to shared (e-)mobility and charging infrastructure.
