Dataset showing how much fuel each council vehicle has consumed, by year and by fuel type. Dataset guidance The following information refers to the columns in the data: Fleet = fleet number (specific number used to identify a vehicle) Vehicle = vehicle type Fuel = fuel used in litres Dist.Run = Total mileage for the reporting period MPG = Miles Per Gallon Type = D: Diesel, G: Gas Oil Please Note In some cases there may be an asterix in Dist.Run or 'ERROR' in MPG. This is due to an incorrect speedometer reading being input at some time during the report period. When an asterix is present, it may also mean that MPG is incorrect in each case. Where the Fleet number shows a number plate, these vehicles are not council owned but hire vehicles. Parks and Countryside service manage their own fuel stations which are not shown on this dataset. Further Information If you have any further queries you can contact the Head of Fleet Services, Terry Pycroft, by emailing terry.pycroft@leeds.gov.uk or calling 0113 378 1440.

This dataset contains details of the number of registered vehicles based upon registering address in Leicester and is sourced from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).Data is updated quarterly.This dataset is also part of a dashboard that has been created showing a range of transport related data. The dashboard can be viewed here.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.htmlhttp://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html
What would we use this dataset for? Firstly, crime prevention and detection. Following on, so much more else too, like finer traffic control management. Want to make a case to your local council for building that bypass around your village, already?
With a comprehensive set of images of each of the popular vehicle brands, it should be possible to "teach" a machine-learning application to recognize car brands in real time from live video and camera observations. This gives an added attribute to a vehicle-of-interest's registration / license plate, or at least provides some backup information where the license plate could not be read.
These images have all been manually curated to prevent any ambiguities in the ML process, and advertisements and other useless vehicle views (like vehicle interiors and photos of your smiling salesman) have been removed.
The data collection process is described in https://github.com/gerritonagoodday/VehicleBrandDatasetScraping and used web scraping from popular car deal websites. I used ScrapingBee to do the web scraping where websites had put up obstacles to prevent web scraping.
If you want to enhance the dataset further or create datasets for other countries besides the UK, you can make a few configuration changes in the Python scripts. You will also need your own API key, at $29 per month. Sign up through this link and get your own API key:

Southern Africa has a huge problem with crime, corruption, and wildlife poaching. Much of this crime is committed by government officials, directly or indirectly. The problem to secure convictions has always been to pinpoint the culprits with irrefutable evidence within an already corrupt judiciary system. This could go some way towards achieving this.

Car Registrations in the United Kingdom increased to 191316 Units in June from 150070 Units in May of 2025. This dataset provides the latest reported value for - United Kingdom Car Registrations - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news.
Information on motor vehicles that were licensed on 31 December 2015, or which were registered for the first time during October to December 2015.
The statistics are derived from data held by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which administers vehicle registration and licensing records in the United Kingdom (Great Britain prior to July 2014).
In 2015:

In 2022, around **** million motor vehicles were sold in the United Kingdom, down from its peak at around *** million units in 2016. This figure represents a decrease of *** percent year-on-year. Sales recovery does not match 2019 levels In 2022, the UK overtook France as the second-largest car market in Europe, a position it had lost since 2019. New passenger car registrations had grown in the country in 2023, up to the highest volume recorded since their dramatic drop in 2020. However, amid Brexit, the automotive semiconductor shortage, raw material price inflation, and an overall cost of living crisis, the UK's automotive industry has faced various challenges and has yet to reach its pre-COVID-19 pandemic level. The impact of inflation on car purchases The United Kingdom recorded its highest inflation rate since the 1990s in 2022, a situation which marginally improved in 2023. New cars were particularly impacted by the inflation, with their consumer price index being at its highest in the past 15 years in 2023. Despite the inflating prices, car purchasing intentions remained relatively stable based on surveys ending in September 2023 and September 2024, with around **** of UK residents reporting their intention of buying a car in the 12 months following the survey. This is, however, a positive development compared to purchase intentions reported in that same survey ending in September 2022.

Results from the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey on attitudes to electric vehicles, Great Britain, 8 to 19 September 2021 and 22 September to 3 October 2021
The United Kingdom produced roughly 905,100 passenger cars in 2023. This marked the first year when figures increased since they started declining in 2016. Compared to 2022, production increased by approximately 16.8 percent in 2023. Challenges on the domestic front The United Kingdom’s automotive industry has been struggling following the Brexit referendum and was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, supply chain shortages, and raw material price increases. The United Kingdom was once the largest exporter of cars, and its long-standing brands still enjoy success worldwide. The UK domestic market, however, has been faring slightly worse than production for overseas. UK auto industry loses ground In 2023, the United Kingdom did not make it into the top 10 in a list of leading car producers worldwide. That same year, China was the world’s leading manufacturer of such motor vehicles. The country produced a staggering 26.1 million units.
