Table description
This table contains information on traffic performance (vehicle-kilometres) of passenger cars, delivery vans, lorries, semi-trailers, special purpose vehicles and buses.
Vehicle-kilometres of Dutch vehicles have been broken down by Dutch vehicles on Dutch territory and Dutch vehicles on foreign territory.
In addition, there are figures on the total distance covered on Dutch territory. A distinction is made between kilometres covered by Dutch vehicles and kilometres by foreign vehicles.
From 2016 up the kilometres driven by busses are no longer devided in kilometres driven on Dutch or on foreign roads.
Data available from: 1990
Status of the figures:
The figures in this table up to and including 2017 are definitive. Figures over 2018 and 2019 have a provisional status.
Changes as of 4 November 2020:
Provisional figures over 2019 have been added.
When will new figures be published?
New figures are expected to be released by end of 2021.
Description topics
- Kilometres in the Netherlands
- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate and vehicles with foreign registration plates.
- Total kilometres in the Netherlands
- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate and vehicles with foreign registration plates.
- Kilometres by Dutch vehicles
- Kilometres by foreign vehicles
- To calculate the total traffic performance of delivery vans on Dutch roads, it is necessary to estimate the traffic performance of foreign delivery vans in the Netherlands. In the absence of data on foreign delivery vans, it has been assumed that this concerns mainly border traffic. That is why the traffic performance of foreign delivery vans in the Netherlands is set equal to the traffic performance of Dutch delivery vans abroad.
- Kilometres by Dutch vehicles
- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands and abroad by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Total kilometres by Dutch vehicles
- The total distance travelled (in km) in the Netherlands and abroad by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Kilometres in the Netherlands
- Kilometres abroad
