Method & notes
Registration data shows how slowly a national vehicle fleet changes even when new technologies grow quickly from a small base.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSRegistrations are not sales—but they reveal the transition.
PulseKita aggregates JPJ's monthly vehicle-registration counts by year and fuel type, using all vehicle types and excluding the pre-aggregated all-fuels rows to avoid double counting.
- These are vehicle registrations, not vehicle sales and not the number of vehicles with active road licences.
- The latest year may be partial because JPJ publishes monthly data throughout the year.
