MOTOR VEHICLES 2018 PUBLICATION No. 1762 www.cbs.gov.il Jerusalem, September 2019 COPYRIGHT 2019 © THE STATE OF ISRAEL ISSN 0075–1057 PREFACE This publication presents data on motor vehicles in Israel at the end of 2018. As in previous annual publications on this subject, the data are based on processing of the Vehicle File of the Ministry of Transport’s Vehicle Licencing Department which is carried out by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). The publication includes detailed tables of data on different characteristics of motor vehicles in Israel: type of vehicle, manufacturer, country of production, year of first use, place of registration, type of ownership, type of fuel, and other characteristics. In addition, the publication includes tables presenting comparisons with previous years and with selected countries, as well as data on hauled vehicles, which are not motor vehicles. This year, for the first time, the publication includes tables on additional characteristics of motor vehicles: type of fuel including hybrid vehicles, the number of changes of ownership of all types of vehicles and the number of vehicles that changed ownership in 2018. In addition, new tables are presented that include characteristics on private cars: safety systems, number of airbags, pollution levels, engine power, color and type of gear box. As in the previous publications, this publication also includes data on vehicles involved in road accidents with casualties. Detailed data for the year 2018 is presented in CBS Publication No. 1766, Road Accidents with Casualties 2018: Non- Urban Road Accidents. This publication also includes tables that specify concentrations and emissions of air pollutants caused by vehicles. Air pollution caused by transportation is known to be one of the most severe problems in urban environments. The CBS would like to thank the Ministry of Transport’s Department of Digital Technology and Information, for providing us with the administrative files, and the Air Quality Division at the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
