About this data

Germany car production and registrations, including electric vehicle data, from the VDA and KBA. The monthly table tracks the domestic production and export of passenger cars since 1962, alongside registrations of commercial vehicles, buses and semitrailers. Breakdowns specify battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) passenger cars. It also groups new car registrations by CO₂ emissions bands to show environmental performance.
