Intra-EU car density comparisons
The Dutch paper Der Standard of 20 February reported that the average density of car ownership across the EU 27 is currently 482 cars per 1,000 inhabitants. While the UK figure quoted as 476 per 1,000 falls below the EU average, car density figures vary widely from one EU member state to another, and are not correlated only with the average wealth of their inhabitants.

National car density figures vary from 170 per 1,000 in Romania, 232 in Slovakia, 299 in Hungary, 331 in Bulgaria, 343 in Lithuania, 348 in Poland, 357 in Denmark, 372 in Greece, 380 in Estonia, 403 in Ireland and in the Czech Republic, 412 in Lithuania, 432 in the Netherlands, 453 in Finland, 459 in Sweden, 462 in Cyprus, 468 in Spain, 473 in Belgium, 474 in Slovenia, 497 in France, 511 in Austria, 554 in Germany, 580 in Malta, 585 in Portugal, 592 in Italy and 672 in Luxemburg.



Worth remembering next time we are getting agro from the lentil eating community.

Interesting report.......One part of it though has annoyed me for years. That of: "554 in Germany".

Knowing the Germans quite well, I've noticed that they almost ALL have 2 cars.....A nice BIG Merc. and something small like a Smartcar..to go to work in!

WE here, are STILL taxing Car ownership AND car use......whether you use it or not, even if it's parked up all week! How silly is that?...

It would include the forma East Germany where car ownership is much less.

There is also a large under-class of Turkish ex-pats that may be included in the population.
