Methodological note

This indicator is made using province-wide information on registrations of vehicles published by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT). Vehicles are classified in the following categories:

  • Lorries and vans: Vehicles whose purpose is transport of goods (motorcycles with three wheels, weighing no less than 400 kg are excluded).
  • Buses: Vehicles whose purpose is transport of travellers with a capacity for more than nine persons, including the driver. Trolleybuses (vehicles connected to an electrical line that do not move around on rails) are excluded from this category.
  • Private cars: Four-wheeled vehicle whose purpose is transportation of travellers, with a maximum capacity of nine people, including the driver.
  • Motorcycle: Two-wheeled vehicles, with or without a sidecar the passenger compartment laterally attached to the motorcycle. Cars for disabled people are also included in this category.
  • Industrial tractors: Vehicles capable of dragging a semi-trailer, without taking farming tractors into account.
  • Others: Vehicles not included in the previous categories, excluding farming vehicles. Before 1998, trucks were included in this category.

The annual data are definitive.
