The table compares the number of motor vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants in eight countries in 1990 and 2000.
Overall, vehicle ownership increased in most countries over the ten-year period, with Luxembourg and New Zealand consistently recording the highest figures. In contrast, Cambodia had by far the lowest number of vehicles in both years, showing no change.
In 1990, Luxembourg and New Zealand already had very high levels of car ownership at 548 and 531 vehicles per 1,000 people respectively. These figures increased further by 2000, reaching 728 in Luxembourg and 557 in New Zealand. Significantly growth was also seen in Brazil and Jordan, where the numbers more than doubled over the decade.
Chile and Romania experienced moderate increases, while Cambodia remained unchanged at just 1 vehicle per 1,000 inhabitants. Notably, the Bahamas was the only country to see a decline, with ownership felt from 235 to 187 vehicles per 1,000 people by 2000.
