This table contains figures on traffic performance (vehicle-kilometres) of passenger cars, delivery vans, lorries, semi-trailers, special purpose vehicles and buses. Vehicle-kilometres of Dutch vehicles have been broken down by Dutch vehicles on Dutch territory and Dutch vehicles on foreign territory. In addition, there are figures on the total distance covered on Dutch territory. A distinction is made between kilometres covered by Dutch vehicles and kilometres by foreign vehicles. The vehicle population used to estimate the kilometres is based on the vehicle fleet statistics. The population of the figures in this table is based on the new selection method of the vehicle fleet. The difference between the old and the new selection method is described in a methodological report, see paragraph 4. The data series of vehicle kilometres estimated for the new population is available starting from 2018. The data series based on the old population ends with 2020. The way in which the vehicle kilometres are estimated has not changed, only the population. For the 2020 data a correction factor was implemented to correct for the ‘smoothing effect’ caused by the method. The smoothing effect smoothes out yearly variation in the data and this results in a distorted picture of periods of time when mobility patterns suddenly change drastically, like happened in 2020 due to COVID-19. Data available from:2018 Status of the figures: The figures in this table up to and including 2021 are definitive. Figures over 2022 and 2023 have a provisional status. Changes as of 21 October 2024: Figures of 2023 have been added. When will new figures be published? New figures are expected to be released by end of 2025.

In addition, there are figures on the total distance covered on Dutch territory. A distinction is made between kilometres covered by Dutch vehicles and kilometres by foreign vehicles.
From 2016 up the kilometres driven by busses are no longer devided in kilometres driven on Dutch or on foreign roads. The vehicle population used to estimate the kilometres is based on the vehicle fleet statistics. The population of the figures in this table is based on the old selection method of the vehicle fleet. The difference between the old and the new selection method is described in a methodological report, see paragraph 4. The data series of vehicle kilometres estimated for the old population ends with 2020. The data series based on the new population is available starting from 2018.

Data available from: 1990 to 2020

Status of the figures: The figures in this table up to and including 2018 are definitive. Figures over 2019 and 2020 have a provisional status.

Changes as of 10 November 2022: None, this table has been discontinued. This table is followed by the table Traffic performance motor vehicles; kilometres, type of vehicle, territory, see paragraph 3.

When will new figures be published? No longer applicable.

This table contains information on traffic performance (vehicle-kilometres) of passenger cars, delivery vans, lorries, semi-trailers, special purpose vehicles and buses.
Vehicle-kilometres of Dutch vehicles have been broken down by Dutch vehicles on Dutch territory and Dutch vehicles on foreign territory.
In addition, there are figures on the total distance covered on Dutch territory. A distinction is made between kilometres covered by Dutch vehicles and kilometres by foreign vehicles.

Data available from: 1990

Status of the figures: The figures in this table up to and including 2013 are definitive. Figures over 2014, 2015 and 2016 have a provisional status.

Changes as of 27 October 2017 Provisional figures over 2016 have been added.

The use of new (integrated) source files (from Netherlands Vehicle Authority or RDW) for the years 2012 and 2013 has resulted in a trend break in figures on passenger cars and delivery vans between 2011 and 2012. Prior to 2012, data from sample odometer readings (NAP) were used. The trend break has been corrected by making adjustments in the historical series for the years 1990-2011, with figures for vehicles over 9 years old adjusted downwards.

As for passenger cars, as of 2008, kilometres driven by Dutch vehicles in the Netherlands have been estimated on the basis of an improved method using corrected, provisional figures from MON/OVG/OViN. This has also resulted in adjustments to the figures on Dutch passenger cars on foreign territory.

Following improvements in calculations of kilometres driven by foreign vehicles on Dutch roads, the entire series from 1990 up to the present has been adjusted (see also brief method description of passenger cars).

When will new figures be published? New figures are expected to be released by end of 2018.
