The oldest cars drive in this EU country
The European industry association ACEA has determined the average age of vehicles on Europe's roads and compared the values in individual countries. By the way, Austria stands out positively!
The oldest cars drive in this EU country
Europe's vehicle fleet has gotten older year-on-year, which is not surprising given the crisis-related decline in new car sales. According to the manufacturers' association ACEA, the average age of a European car is 11.5 years. Trucks are on average 13 years old. There should be enough to do for workshops.
But the differences within the European Union are also interesting. This is especially true since these are sometimes considerable. The oldest vehicles are in Batikum and Romania. In Romania the average car is more than 16 years old, in Estonia and Latvia it is almost 17 years old at 16.7 and 16.8 respectively. Unsurprisingly, cars in Eastern European countries tend to be significantly older; the youngest vehicles are on the road in Central and Northern Europe.
Austria stands out
Austria stands out positively here: the industry association puts the average age of cars registered in this country at 8.3 years. Only one European country has an even younger fleet, namely Luxembourg with 6.5 years. In Germany, cars are on average 9.6 years old.
