Table explanation


This table contains key data on the admitted vehicle fleet of passenger cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles (by vehicle category and by age class of the vehicle).
The figures are based on the registration numbers provided by the Dutch Road Traffic Authority (RDW). All vehicles that were registered on 1 January of each year and that were admitted on the road the previous year have been counted. The data are recorded and stored. The register can be accessed for statistical purposes. Vehicles that were uninsured during the whole previous year are not allowed on the road and are, therefore, excluded. Also, vehicles that were registered as in stock of a company on 1 January were not taken into account.

Data available from: 2019

Status of the figures: final

Changes as of 13 February 2026:
The figures as of 1 January 2026 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
New figures of the vehicle fleet on 1 January will be published at the end of the first quarter of the running year.
