Federal Republic of Germany

The evaluations of the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) include all vehicles registered in Germany according to the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) that have been assigned a license plate. This includes vehicles that have an insurance license plate as well as vehicles of the federal police and the technical relief organization (THW). In contrast, the vehicles of the Bundeswehr as well as vehicles with red or short-term license plates and with export license plates are not included . The inventory is the sum of all motor vehicles and vehicle trailers stored in the ZFZR (excluding vehicles that have been decommissioned) at the specified counting time. The statistical evaluations therefore reflect the actual registrations and thus the road traffic. The counting of the vehicle population is carried out on the reference date of January 1st of each year.

Until January 1, 2007, the inventory included the registered vehicles as well as “temporary shutdowns”. These remained stored in the Central Vehicle Register (ZFZR) for 18 months .

With the entry into force of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) on March 1, 2007, the statistical recording method was changed. All types of deregistrations, including “temporary shutdowns”, have since been considered “decommissioning”. As a result, since January 1, 2008, the vehicle fleet has only included "flowing traffic" including the seasonal license plates .

As a result of the EU-wide harmonization of vehicle documents , vehicles with a special purpose ( mobile homes , ambulances and others) in the inventory have been assigned to passenger cars since January 1, 2006.

In order to present a meaningful time series, the other years from 2000 onwards were also retrospectively converted to the new recording method.

Car inventory according to vehicle age

The age of a vehicle is calculated based on the date it was first registered; it therefore describes the period since it was first registered. To determine the average age of all vehicles, the age of a vehicle as of July 1st of its year of registration is used (example: a car registered in 2007 is 3.5 years old on January 1st, 2011).

Motor vehicle registrations

The evaluations of the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) include all vehicles registered in Germany according to the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) that have been assigned a license plate. This includes vehicles that have an insurance license plate as well as vehicles of the federal police and the technical relief organization (THW). In contrast, the vehicles of the Bundeswehr as well as vehicles with red or short-term license plates and with export license plates are not included . A new registration is the initial registration and registration of a brand new vehicle with a license plate in Germany. Vehicles that have already been registered in Germany or abroad are not included. Due to the EU-wide harmonization of vehicle documents , vehicles with a special purpose ( mobile homes , ambulances and others) have been assigned to passenger cars since 2005.
