Lithuania File

First registrations of passenger cars in Lithuania straight from Regitra, the state enterprise that keeps the national vehicle register — new cars (Whole) and, new to the gallery, the three-times-larger used-import market (Used), by the register's fuel field. Matches Regitra's own monthly totals exactly and ACEA's Lithuanian figure to within about 0.5% a month, about two weeks before ACEA publishes it.

Who sells the cars

Whole · last 12 months (2025-09 → 2026-08) · 40,228 new registrations in total. Units are registrations; brand and model from the register snapshot's MARKE and KOMERCINIS_PAV (commercial name). The name is reduced to the model as buyers know it — trims, power and drive words are dropped (ID.4 PRO 4MOTION 210KW → ID.4, Q5 220KW TFSI E → Q5), and where Regitra lists two names ("TUCSON. ix35") the first is kept. Upper-cased. BEV is the fuel field Elektra; PHEV and HEV are the register's EU hybrid category (OVC-HEV / NOVC-HEV), counted per car — hybrids without a category are left out. Counted from the register snapshot, so only cars still registered on the snapshot date appear — about three quarters of 2025's first registrations, nearly all of 2026's.

Who sells the imported used cars

Used · last 12 months (2025-09 → 2026-08) · 125,757 used-import registrations in total. Units are registrations; brand and model from the register snapshot's MARKE and KOMERCINIS_PAV (commercial name). The name is reduced to the model as buyers know it — trims, power and drive words are dropped (ID.4 PRO 4MOTION 210KW → ID.4, Q5 220KW TFSI E → Q5), and where Regitra lists two names ("TUCSON. ix35") the first is kept. Upper-cased. BEV is the fuel field Elektra; PHEV and HEV are the register's EU hybrid category (OVC-HEV / NOVC-HEV), counted per car — hybrids without a category are left out. Counted from the register snapshot, so only cars still registered on the snapshot date appear — about three quarters of 2025's first registrations, nearly all of 2026's.

Used imports (the Used variant): passenger cars first registered abroad, by the month of their first Lithuanian registration, from the register snapshot. About a quarter of each month's used imports is no longer in the register a few months later — mostly re-exported — so the table ranks the ones that stayed. Hybrids are one class, as in the Used CSV: plug-in, full and mild together, including the hybrids without a register category.

Raw source

Go and check the numbers yourself:

Regitra — register statistics (table 5, first registrations of M1 by fuel) and open register data ↗

How the data flows

Origin
Lithuanian road-vehicle register (Kelių transporto priemonių registras), kept by VĮ Regitra
Download

The fetcher reads Regitra's statistics page, finds the year files of table 5 (new / used × fuel by month) and of the monthly totals, and downloads the running year and the year before (about 40 KB). It then reads the open-data page; only when the register snapshot carries a new date does it download it (167 MB zip, 945 MB of CSV) and update the split store market/lithuania_fleet.json.

Pick the vehicles

Table 5 holds every M1 vehicle (M1 and the off-road M1G) first registered in Lithuania, in two blocks with Regitra's own status. The status decides the variant; vans, lorries and buses are not in table 5 and stay ACEA's.

Regitra status of the vehicle?
  • Nauja — new, first registration anywhereWhole
  • Naudota — used, first registered abroadUsed
    dated by the month of the first Lithuanian registration
Powertrain

The register's fuel field (DEGALAI) lists the energy sources of the vehicle, separated by "/". It decides every column except the PHEV/HEV split of new cars, which it does not know.

Fuel field (DEGALAI)?
  • exactly ElektraBEV
  • contains Vandenilis (hydrogen)OTHERS
    fuel-cell cars, as at ACEA
  • any other combination with Elektra — petrol, diesel or gas + electrichybrid — one number
    Used keeps it combined in HEV; Whole is split in the next step
  • exactly Benzinas (petrol)PETROL
  • exactly Dyzelinas (diesel)DIESEL
  • anything else — petrol/LPG, petrol/CNG, ethanol, not statedOTHERS
PHEV or HEV

Whole only, derived, not counted: the hybrid count of each month is split with a plug-in share from the best counted source available. The share is re-evaluated on every run, so a month gets the better split as soon as one exists. PHEV = hybrids × share, HEV = the rest. Used is not split: no counted source covers used imports.

Which variant, and which counted split covers the month?
  • Used (used imports)not split — every hybrid in HEV, no PHEV column
    the snapshot misses re-exported cars and has no category for ~40% of used hybrids
  • ACEA's PHEV and HEV for the month (new cars only)ACEA's share
    same register, so ACEA's split scaled to Regitra's hybrid count; exact to a car or two
  • no ACEA figure — the register snapshot has the monththe snapshot's share OVC-HEV / (OVC-HEV + NOVC-HEV)
    counted, but only cars still registered; bridges the weeks until ACEA publishes
  • neither yet (the newest months)the pooled share of the three final months before — source "Regitra (provisional)"
    estimated; upgraded by a later run once ACEA or a newer snapshot covers it
Checks before writing

Every block of table 5 must add up to its own sum line, every month's total must equal Regitra's separate monthly totals table exactly (64 of 64 month × status pairs did in October 2026), unknown fuel strings may not exceed 2% of a month, and a month below a quarter of the usual volume is not written. Anything else stops the run before a CSV is touched.

Render

Each new or changed month re-renders the country. Shares are read from the CSV as column ÷ TOTAL and grouped into three curves. A generalized Weibull S-curve is fitted to the BEV and the ICE share, and the charts, the fitted parameters, the twelve-month totals and the uncertainty bands are rewritten.

Which curve does a CSV column count towards?
  • BEVBEV
  • PHEV or EREV (plug-in hybrids, range extenders)
    Does the source split plug-ins from other hybrids?
    • yesPHEV
    • no — one combined hybrid figure (parked in HEV)ICE
      the PHEV curve is left out, never drawn at zero
  • HEV or MHEV (full and mild hybrids — no plug)ICE
  • petrol, diesel, gas, flex-fuel, othersICE

Definitions & scope

AcquisitionFile — downloaded as a data file (XLSX / Parquet / ODS / zip)
Vehicle scopeEvery M1 vehicle first registered in Lithuania, split by Regitra's own new/used status. Lithuania is a re-export hub — many cars leave again within months — but a first registration counts once, whether the car stays or not.
HEV (full hybrids)Regitra's fuel table has one number for every fuel combination with "Elektra" (petrol, diesel or gas + electric). For Whole (new cars) it is split into PHEV and HEV with ACEA's counted split of the same month — the register snapshot's EU hybrid category (OVC-HEV = plug-in, NOVC-HEV = not externally chargeable) or a provisional share only bridge the weeks until ACEA publishes. HEV includes mild hybrids (type-approved as NOVC-HEV), as ACEA's does. Used has no counted split anywhere, so its hybrids stay one combined number in HEV (plug-in + full + mild, no PHEV column; the chart then draws no PHEV curve) — the Türkiye/Ukraine convention. Fuel-cell cars are OTHERS.

Which fuel columns this source fills

A blank column almost never means "no such cars" — it means this source does not split them out, and those vehicles are counted inside another column. Check the caveats for where they land.
