Car Mechanic/Technician

About Poppy

The future of mobility is shared!

Poppy is reshaping the way Belgium moves. Launched in 2018 by D'Ieteren Automotive, we have grown from a 350-car startup in Antwerp to an 85+ people scale-up offering two complementary mobility solutions: shared mobility (our iconic red cars and vans in Brussels, Antwerp and the BE airports), and flexible leasing for businesses through Poppy Lease.

Whether someone jumps into a red Poppy for a quick trip, heads out for a weekend escape, or a fleet manager rolls out Lease across an entire team, … Our mission stays the same: making mobility flexible, accessible and better for our cities.
