Registered passenger cars in Europe by country 2018

Published by I. Wagner, Nov 26, 2020
Germany was the European country with the largest passenger vehicle fleet in 2018 with more than 47 million units. The total number of registered passenger cars in Europe stood at 292 million units in 2018.

Germany is the largest car market in Europe

Germany is Europe’s leading car producer with a production volume of almost 4.7 million units. The strong assembly sector coupled with a large customer base makes Germany the largest automotive market in Europe, recording annual passenger car sales of more than three million units. The country's autobahns are famous for no-limit sections. However, construction projects and traffic jams are common roadblocks in Germany.

Łódź is Europe's most congested city

The large number of automobiles on Europe’s streets led to many cities suffering under road congestion. The Polish city of Łódź was the most traffic jam prone metro area, with a 51 percent longer travel time compared to uncongested traffic.
