About this project
This website tracks the evolution of new vehicle registrations with a particular focus on the transition towards electric mobility.
Its main objective is to provide a clear and comparable view of how different powertrains – including battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV), hybrids (HEV), and internal combustion engines – evolve over time across selected countries.
By presenting official data in a harmonised format, the project aims to make long-term trends easier to understand and to support informed discussions about the ongoing transformation of the automotive market.
This project is independent and has no affiliation with vehicle manufacturers, industry associations, or public authorities.
Data sources
All data published on this website comes from official public sources, such as national statistical offices, transport authorities, or equivalent governmental bodies.
Each dataset is:
- collected from the original source,
- processed to ensure consistency over time,
- and published together with its source, licence, and reference link.
Detailed information about data sources and usage conditions is available on the Sources page.
Methodology
The figures shown on this website represent new vehicle registrations, aggregated on a monthly or yearly basis, depending on data availability.
Data is organised by powertrain in order to:
- monitor the growth of electric and electrified vehicles,
- compare adoption rates between countries,
- and observe the decline or persistence of internal combustion engines.
Where necessary, the data is:
- grouped by powertrain category,
- converted into comparable percentages,
- and aligned to a common structure across countries.
Minor discrepancies may occur when comparing these figures with other publications, due to:
- differences in classification,
- methodological choices specific to each data provider,
- or revisions made by statistical offices.
Whenever possible, these differences are documented.
Scope and limitations
This website focuses primarily on passenger cars.
Other vehicle categories may be partially included or excluded depending on the country and the structure of the original datasets.
The data is intended for informational and analytical purposes only.
It should not be interpreted as financial, commercial, or policy advice.
Updates
Data is updated as new figures are released by the original sources.
Update frequency therefore varies from one country to another.
The date of the latest available data is indicated for each country.
