TwitterAccessible Tables and Improved Quality
As part of the Analysis Function Reproducible Analytical Pipeline Strategy, processes to create all National Travel Survey (NTS) statistics tables have been improved to follow the principles of Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). This has resulted in improved efficiency and quality of NTS tables and therefore some historical estimates have seen very minor change, at least the fifth decimal place.
All NTS tables have also been redesigned in an accessible format where they can be used by as many people as possible, including people with an impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities and deafness or impaired hearing.
If you wish to provide feedback on these changes then please contact us.

Market Size statistics on the Motorcycle Sales & Repair industry in the UK
Facebook
TwitterAbout 1.33 million motorcycles and almost 32.55 million cars were registered in Great Britain at the end of 2023, a slightly higher volume than in 2022 despite the economic uncertainty faced by the country due to the automotive supply chain shortages and cost of living crisis. Between 2021 and 2022, around 291,300 additional passenger cars were added to Great Britain's car park. Car ownership remains high in UK households There were just over 28.35 million households in the United Kingdom, according to recent 2022 estimates. Car ownership in UK households was estimated at around 84 percent by end of 2023. However, the cost of living crisis deeply impacted UK consumers' car purchasing intentions, with 73 percent of respondents to an April 2022 survey reporting the general cost of living increases had shifted their perception of the buying process. Increased uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles Following the introduction of electric vehicles and discussions surrounding higher emission standards, the number of licensed ultra-low emission vehicles has been rising significantly. In the past decade it has grown from around 9,000 units in 2010 to nearly 432,000 in 2020. This increase particularly started to pick up following the diesel scandal.
