Accordingly, in the first month of the year, a total of 6,660 tools were registered for the first time, while a month later, 4.1% more, or 6,937, were registered. The statistics of January of this year also show a positive trend in the investment of Albanians in electric cars.
DPSHTRR shows through figures that out of the total of 13,597 vehicles registered for the first time in the first two months of 2024, about 443 cars are 100% electric. If we talk only about the month of January, a total of 261 100% electric vehicles were registered. So according to the institution's data, of the total vehicles with 0 km registered for the first time, about 61.4% are Electric Hybrid Plug-in or 81% more compared to the year 2023. On the other hand, of these vehicles with 0 km registered for the first time, 32% are All-Electric or 433% more compared to 2023.
The use of electric cars has a significant impact on the environment, from the first registrations of electric vehicles we will have 344,520 kg of CO2 less in one year. In total, the fleet of electric cars in January 2024 reached 3,580 vehicles, with an increase of 1,946% compared to 2019.
'Scan Intel' has analyzed the data from DPSHTRR to identify the vehicles according to the type of owner, where it results that 17.3% of the registered vehicles are owned by entities and 82.7% of them are owned by individuals. The same distribution was encountered a year ago, where the largest weight is occupied by assets registered in the name of individuals.
Also, the countries of origin of these tools were also analyzed, where it turns out that the 'main supplier' was Germany, leading the list with 2,753 tools exported to our country. Italy follows in the ranking with 2,670 vehicles. These countries were first on the list in 2023 as well, but this time they have changed places, since last year Albanians preferred Italian brands more. In addition, tools from countries such as Switzerland, Korea and China are also used in Albania.
