报告：2026年欧洲道路上的车辆

TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD ACEA’s “Vehicles on European Roads” report is the go-to publication for up-to-date information onthe number of vehicles circulating on Europe’s roads. It provides key data, including average vehicle age,vehicle power types, vehicle ownership patterns, and more essential information for understandingthe automotive sector landscape. Building on ACEA’s regular updates on new registrations for cars, vans, trucks, and buses, this uniquereport offers a snapshot of the composition of vehicles currently circulating in Europe. The report isrevealing, showing how the figures for newly registered vehicles, including battery-electric vehicles(BEVs), contrast with the actual structure of the vehicle fleet on European roads. Although battery-electric cars have become the third most popular option for new car buyers, capturingalmost 17% of EU registrations in 2025 so far, they still account for only 2.3% of all passenger cars on EUroads, underlining the significant gap that remains to achieve widespread zero-emission mobility. The data highlights an important aspect of the story: replacing older vehicles with newer, cleaner modelscan take years or even decades to achieve. Older vehicles typically employ less efficient technologies,resulting in higher emissions and more pollution compared to newer models. This underscores theimportance of accelerating the replacement rate of these older vehicles with the greenest, cleanest,and safest models, reflecting the significant investments our industry has made in sustainable mobility. This year’s edition finds that the average age of cars and vans, which represent 98% of the total fleet,is gradually rising, while the number of vehicles on roads has increased once again.There were 256 million passenger cars on EU roads in 2024, a stable 1.4% increase from 2023. The number of vans, trucks, and buses on roads is also rising, stressing the importance of alsoaccelerating the uptake of battery-electric and other zero-emission models in Europe for these vehiclesegments. Of all vehicle types, buses lead the way, with battery-electric models accountingfor a 3.2% share. The car continues to build on its popularity as a significant means of transport, with the number of carsper 1,000 inhabitants growing yet again. In fact, the data have consistently shown that most Europeanhouseholds still own a car in the countries studied. Moreover, the report demonstrates that legislative targets represent just one piece of the complexpuzzle of road transport decarbonisation. Europe requires a pragmatic and achievable pathway forthe automotive industry. At present, the transformation in Europe is not progressing at the pace required. The ecosystem mustbecome more attractive to customers, and the current regulatory framework should be revised to fostera broader set of enabling conditions, such as charging infrastructure and purchase and tax incentives,to stimulate demand for new models and replenish vehicles on Europe’s roads with the cleanest andgreenest models. Expect further insights from us on these topics as 2026 unfolds.In the meantime, we wish you insightful reading. Sigrid de VriesACEA Director General KEY FIGURES •In 2024, the EU passenger car fleet grew by 1.4% compared to 2023, almost reaching 256million cars on the road. Nearly all EU countries experienced fleet expansion, with Latviarecording the highest growth (+9.2%).•There were 31.1 million vans in operation across the EU, with half being found in threecountries: France (6.5 million), Italy (4.6 million), and Spain (4.2 million).•There were 6.2 million medium and heavy commercial vehicles on EU roads, reflecting a 0.9%rise from 2023. Close to half of these could be found in three countries: Germany (969,920),Italy (988,165), and Poland (841,545).•A total of 699,238 buses were in operation across the EU, with more than half concentrated inItaly (101,303), France (94,542), Germany (85,559), and Poland (80,564).•EU cars were on average 12.7 years old. Greece had the oldest car fleet (17.8 years), andLuxembourg had the newest (8.2 years).•The average age of light commercial vehicles in the EU was 12.9 years. Among the EU’s fourlargest markets, Italy had the oldest van fleet (15 years), followed closely by Spain (14.7 years),and France (11.2 years).•Trucks were on average 14 years old in the EU. Greece had the oldest truck fleet (22.9 years),whereas the newest ones were found in Austria (7.4 years) and Luxembourg (7.7 years).•The average age of buses operating in the EU was 12.2 years. Romanian buses were the oldestin the region (17.8 years), with Greece not far behind (17.2 years). Only six countries in the EUhad a bus fleet that is less than 10 years old.•Battery-electric cars accounted for 2.3% of the total EU car fleet, while plug-in hybrids madeup 1.4%. Only six EU countries had a share of battery-electric cars above 4%, with Denmark(12.1%) leading. In Norway, over one-fourth of all cars in circulatio
