METHODOLOGY
Registrations are not sales—but they reveal the transition.
PulseKita aggregates JPJ's monthly vehicle-registration counts by year and fuel type, using all vehicle types and excluding the pre-aggregated all-fuels rows to avoid double counting.
These are vehicle registrations, not vehicle sales and not the number of vehicles with active road licences.
The latest year may be partial because JPJ publishes monthly data throughout the year.
