Built for rental companies and fleet managers who need reliable fleet statistics before sizing or relocating a fleet.
Romania's vehicle fleet at a glance
As of 2025-12-31, Romania had 10,532,424 registered vehicles across 42 counties (județe, including Bucharest). The fleet remains overwhelmingly combustion-powered: diesel accounts for 5,827,963 vehicles (55.3%) and petrol for 4,138,402 (39.3%). Together the two fuels cover the large majority of the country's cars and vans.
Passenger cars make up 8,771,216 units (83.3%) and light commercial vehicles 1,240,916 (11.8%) — the two categories that matter most to a rental fleet. These vehicle fleet statistics are a stock figure: they describe what is on the register today, not the flow of new registrations.
Fuel mix and electrification, 2015–2025
Electrification is visible but still early. Electric cars in Romania number 70,826, or just 0.7% of the fleet — under one percent. The trajectory, however, is steep: the electric count grew from 468 vehicles in 2015 to 70,826 in 2025, roughly a 151-fold increase. Hybrid cars follow a similar curve, reaching 381,002 vehicles (3.6%), while LPG and CNG make up 114,229 (1.1%). Diesel cars, which were a minority in 2015 (44.1%), now form the largest block, fed by used imports.

Leading car brands in Romania
Two brands dominate the register: Volkswagen (1,670,090 vehicles) and the domestic Dacia (1,634,920).
