of new and used vehicles as well as the stock of vehicles) are secondary
statistics, compiled on the basis of daily data files sent to Statistics Austria
by Austria’s association of insurance companies (VVO). VVO, in turn,
receives data by the insurances’ registrations offices, responsible
for registrations, de-registrations and rectifications of motor vehicles
and trailers.
Within motor vehicle statistics, all motor vehicles, once nationally
or internationally registered, are levied, irrespective of the registration’s
duration.
