The Regulation (EU) No 2019/631 requires Countries to record information for each new passenger car registered in its territory. Every year, each Member State shall submit to the Commission all the information related to their new registrations. In particular, the following details are required for each new passenger car registered: manufacturer name, type approval number, type, variant, version, make and commercial name, specific emissions of CO2 (NEDC and WLTP protocols), masses of the vehicle, wheel base, track width, engine capacity and power, fuel type and mode, eco-innovations and electricity consumption. Data for EU-27 and UK are reported in the main database. Since 2018 Iceland is also included in the database. Since 2019 Norway is also included in the database. For downloading the data in the elastic data viewer please use Edge, Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

The Regulation (EU) No 2019/631 (and before that Regulation (EU) No 510/2011) requires Member States to record information for each new van registered in its territory. Every year, each Member State shall submit to the Commission all the information related to their new registrations. In particular, the following details are required for each new van registered: manufacturer name, type approval number, type, variant, version, make and commercial name, specific emissions of CO2, mass of the vehicle, wheel base, track width, fuel type and fuel mode. Additional information, such as engine power and engine capacity were also submitted. Data for EU-28 are reported in the main database. Since 2018 Iceland and since 2019 Norway are also included in the database.

Passenger transport demand in the EU-28 increased by 2 % between 2016 and 2017 to reach a new all-time high, which was 30 % higher than in 1995. Car passenger travel remains the dominant transport mode, accounting for just over 70 % of total passenger transport. Air transport continues to grow and now boasts a modal share of passenger transport of 11 % — a higher share than in all previous years. Compared with 2016, air transport grew by 9 % in 2017. Rail passenger travel is stable, accounting for 7 % of transport demand in 2017. In 2017, the main contributors to the increase in total freight transport were road and rail freight (+4.7 % and 2.2 %, respectively). Total freight transport increased by 2.4 % compared with 2016. The modal share of freight transported over land remained largely constant and is still dominated by road transport (73 %), followed by rail (17 %) and inland waterways (6 %).

Renewable energy is growing as a share of the total amount of energy used by the transport sector, but this share remains small.  Across the EU-28, the average share of renewable energy used in transport (RES-T) was 7.4 % in 2017. EEA data indicate that the share of renewable energy supply in the transport sector (RES-T) further increased to 8.1 % in 2018.  Initially, the EU supported biofuels as a way to help mitigate climate change, but time and research have shown that making fuels out of crops has led to deforestation and increased stress on land resources, as well as potentially inflating food prices. As such, a 7 % cap on the amount of biofuels made from crops has been proposed.  Next generation biofuels made from waste or algae may not cause the problems highlighted above, but major investments will be required to achieve large-scale production.

Annual energy consumption in transport in the EEA-33 grew by 38 % between 1990 and 2007 (32 % in EU-28). However, the economic recession caused a decline in transport demand, leading to a 3 % decrease in the related energy demand in the last decade.  The shipping sector saw the greatest decline of 10 % in energy consumption between 2008 and 2009 alone, with a total decrease of 19 % between 2007 and 2017, while energy use in air transport increased by 7 % between 2007 and 2017. Road transport accounts for the largest proportion of energy consumption in the transport sector, accounting for 73 % of the total demand in 2017. It was still 34 % higher in 2017 than in 1990.
