Dataset is not available.
This table contains data on total vehicle kilometres of goods vehicles in the Netherlands (broken down by Dutch and foreign vehicles) and data of total kilometres and average annual kilometres of Dutch goods vehicles (broken down by Dutch and foreign territory).
All figures are further broken down by lorries and road tractors, by years of construction of the vehicle and by gross vehicle weight.
The vehicle population used to estimate the kilometres is based on the vehicle fleet statistics. The population of the figures in this table is based on the old selection method of the vehicle fleet. The difference between the old and the new selection method is described in a methodological report, see paragraph 4. The data series of vehicle kilometres estimated for the old population ends with 2020. The data series based on the new population is available starting from 2018. The way in which the vehicle kilometres are estimated has not changed, only the population.
For the 2020 data a correction factor was implemented to correct for the ‘smoothing effect’ caused by the method. The smoothing effect smoothes out yearly variation in the data and this results in a distorted picture of periods of time when mobility patterns suddenly change drastically, like happened in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Data available from: 2001 to 2020
Status of the figures:
Definite data are available for 2001 to 2018, and provisional data for 2019 and 2020.
Changes as of 10 November 2022:
None, this table has been discontinued.
This table is followed by the table Vehicle kilometres goods vehicles; kilometres, vehicle weight, territory, see paragraph 3.
When will new figures become available?
No longer applicable.
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.
Since 2001, Statistics Netherlands conducts an extensive annual survey based on odometer readings (see section 4 in the table notes, which includes a link to the survey description). Since 2001, data are therefore rounded off to the nearest 100,000 kilometres and are thus available in more detail than in prior years.- 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
- The total distance travelled (in km) by foreign vehicles in the Netherlands.
- 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
- The total distance travelled (in km) abroad by vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Average annual kilometres
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle.
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.- Total average annual kilometres
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle.
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Average annual kilometres in Netherlands
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle in the Netherlands.
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Average annual kilometres abroad
- The average number of kilometres per year travelled by a vehicle abroad (outside the Netherlands).
This includes vehicles with a Dutch registration plate.
- Dutch goods vehicles in use
- All lorries and road tractors with a valid Dutch registration number which are allowed to travel on the Dutch public road system during (part of) the year, including:
- lorries and road tractors which are in stock part of the year
- lorries and road tractors which are used part of the year on the Dutch public road system, e.g. new or imported vehicles and vehicles which are scrapped or exported during the year.
The calculated figures are higher than the number of registered lorries and road tractor units on the reference date 1 January, as published in the tables on the motor vehicle fleet.
Goods vehicles in use are all vehicles which could have been used during the entire year. The motor vehicle fleet only includes all motor vehicles with valid registration numbers on 1 January. Therefore, the actual number of motor vehicles is smaller.
