Abstract

This study investigates how car age, driving power and area type affect the average annual mileage of passenger cars in Finland. For the analysis, data from the Finnish car fleet register and vehicle inspection records from 2012 to 2022 are used. The results of this study indicate that newer cars have a higher annual mileage compared to older ones. Regarding driving powers, diesel cars have the largest mileage in Finland, mainly due to the taxation system making diesel less expensive on high mileage. Battery electric vehicles on average have lower annual mileage compared to plug-in hybrid vehicles. For area types, cars have higher mileage in rural areas compared to the more urban areas. These findings are consistent with previous studies conducted in various countries and regions. The study contributes to the development of more accurate passenger car emission calculation models for Finland.
