Answer
In 2019, 9.5 million cars with a Dutch registration number (for part of the year) were allowed onto public roads [1]. Of these, 8.3 million were registered in the name of private individuals and 1.2 million in the name of companies. In 2019, they travelled 82 billion and 22 billion kilometres respectively – together over 104 billion – on Dutch roads. Although the larger share of cars was registered in the name of private individuals, company-registered cars travelled about twice as many kilometres per vehicle (see Table 1).
