Traffic performance motor vehicles; kilometers, Territory 1990-2020

This table contains figures on traffic performance (vehicle-kilometres) of passenger cars, vans, lorries, semi-trailer tractors, special vehicles and buses. Vehicle-kilometres of Dutch vehicles are broken down by Dutch vehicles on Dutch territory and Dutch vehicles on foreign territory. In addition, there are figures of the total distance travelled on Dutch territory. A distinction has been made in terms of kilometres travelled by Dutch and foreign vehicles. As of reporting year 2016, the bus-kilometres will no longer be broken down by home and abroad. The vehicle population for which kilometres are estimated is based on statistics on the motor vehicle fleet. The population of the figures in this table is based on the old method of selection of the motor vehicle fleet. The difference between the old and the new selection method is described in a method report, see paragraph 4. The range of kilometres estimated on the basis of the old vehicle population runs until the reporting year 2020. The series based on the new population is available as of reporting year 2018. The way in which the mileage is estimated has not changed, only the population. The figures for the reporting year 2020 have been corrected for the smoothing effect of the method by means of a correction factor. This effect flattens the annual variation in the figures. This gives a distorted picture of periods in which mobility suddenly changes drastically, such as in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus crisis. Data available from: 1990 to 2020 Status of the figures: The figures up to 2018 are final and the 2019 and 2020 figures have provisional status. Changes as of 10 November 2022: None, this table has been discontinued. This table is followed up by the table Traffic performance motor vehicles; mileage, vehicle type, territory. See paragraph 3. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable.
