Dataset is not available.


This table contains key data on the vehicle fleet of passenger cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles (by vehicle category) and by age class of the vehicle.

As from 2004, the total count of vehicles is not fully comparable with previous years due to separate registration of trailers and semi-trailers.
