The ability to measure the number of vehicles on the road in any country or region provides the bedrock for forecasting the aftermarket, and in W Europe and the European Union, it is essential for looking at the level of accountability being accrued in terms of manufacturers' liabilities following the introduction of End of Life vehicle legislation.

There were an estimated 219.4 million vehicles on the roads of W Europe on 1st January, 2003, of which 191.8 million vehicles were passenger cars and 27.6 million were commercial vehicles. Of the total, 45.2 million units were more than 12 years old, equal to 20.6% of the total and 81.9 million units, or 37.3% are 10 years old or more.

"The Western European Vehicle Parc" provides an easily accessible and very detailed overview of the number of vehicles, vehicle age and OEM market share for both cars and commercial vehicles, giving a complete picture of the underlying market movements that generate the numbers in the example above.

Covering the period from 1990-2003, "The Western European Vehicle Parc" is an invaluable guide to the vehicle parc makeup in both the individual Western European countries and the Western Europe region as a whole.
