The bar chart gives information about the quantity of a variety of registered vehicles (Lorries, Buses, Motorcycles, and Private cars) in Europe between 1996 and 2006.
Overall, it can be observed that European people were inclined to use their own cars instead of other means of transport, over 12 years, as there was the largest number of registered cars. In addition, Buses were allocated the smallest number of validations. Meanwhile, the number of registered vehicles remained almost unchanged, except for Private cars and other types, which are not mentioned.
In 1996, the number of approved private cars was under 20 million, which rose to 24 million over a 12-year period, which dominated among other types. In contrast, buses were allocated only 0.1 million registrations, remaining stable over time, and were the smallest number of transport means.
Furthermore, in 1996, the number of registered Motorcycles was twice that of Lorries, 1 million and 0.5 million, respectively, which both decreased over time, declining to 0.6 million and 0.4 million in 2006, respectively.
In the case of other no-name types, their number stood at approximately 1 million in 1996, rising by 0.7 million (1.9 million) in 2006.
