Verkehr: Menschen in Deutschland fahren etwas weniger Auto
Die sogenannte Jahresfahrleistung mit Autos ist zuletzt ein wenig gesunken. Die Gesamtdistanzen sind aber weiterhin kaum vorstellbar.
Recent data from Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) reveals that Germans drove an average of 562 billion kilometers by car last year, slightly less than the 594 billion kilometers traveled in 2024. When considering all registered vehicles in Germany, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, total mileage increased by 0.7 percent to nearly 675 billion kilometers.
The KBA takes into account differences in mileage between routine inspections since the reporting year of 2023. Interestingly, electric vehicles (BEVs) showed a notable increase in annual mileage, averaging 11,312 kilometers, compared to 8,406 kilometers for gasoline-powered vehicles. Gasoline vehicles accounted for 47.4 percent of total car mileage, while diesel vehicles contributed 35.4 percent.
