Private Road Vehicles - Regions

This dataset provides statistics on passenger private road motor vehicles by type of engine, in subnational regions.

**Data definition **

A road motor vehicle is defined here as a vehicle other than a motorcycle, intended for the carriage of passengers and designed to seat no more than nine persons including the driver. The term passenger car therefore covers micro-cars (do not need a permit to be driven), taxis and hired passenger cars, provided that they have fewer than ten seats. This category may also include pick-ups.

Definition of regions

Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). The OECD regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and in the OECD Territorial correspondence table (xlsx).
