The vehicle fleet will grow by 1.77% in 2025 to exceed 34.3 million vehicles.

The Spanish vehicle fleet continues to expand. In the second quarter of 2025, the number of insured vehicles in Spain reached 34,324,628 units, according to data from the Insured Vehicle Information File (FIVA) provided by the insurance association Unespa (Spanish Union of Insurance and Reinsurance Entities). This represents a year-on-year increase of 1.77%, adding nearly 600,000 more units than in the same period last year.

This growth is not an exception, but a consolidated trend. The report highlights that the Spanish vehicle fleet has been growing uninterruptedly for three years, accumulating thirteen consecutive quarters of increases.

During the second quarter of this year, more than 3.45 million vehicle registrations were recorded, compared to 3.11 million deregistrations, generating a positive balance of 337,011 units between April and June 2025, covering all categories, from cars and motorcycles to vans and trucks.

The FIVA (Spanish National Insurance Fund) collects data on all insured vehicles in Spain, including passenger cars, mopeds, motorcycles, vans, buses, commercial vehicles, and more. Since motor vehicle liability insurance is mandatory, the FIVA provides a true picture of the evolution of the national vehicle fleet. The data in this file includes both vehicle registrations and those deregistered.

This fleet growth is strongly driven by electrification, according to the latest figures provided by the manufacturers' association Anfac. Electrified vehicles (electric and plug-in hybrids) achieved a notable increase of 133.3% in June, with 27,207 units sold, representing 19.3% of the total market in that month and a new all-time record for monthly sales. Year-to-date, electrified vehicle sales now total 111,200 units, an impressive 83.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 15.4% of the overall market share.

Within this trend, pure electric vehicles grew by 107.9% in June (12,295 units), while plug-in hybrids grew by 162.2% (14,282 units). However, the main players in the alternative market remain conventional (non-plug-in) hybrids, which, with a 23.7% growth in June and 46,748 registrations, have consolidated their position as the preferred purchase option, representing 33.18% of the monthly market share and 42% of the global market for electrified, hybrid, and gas-powered passenger cars.

These data reflect a significant shift in Spanish consumer preferences toward more sustainable mobility options. With a total of 80,294 alternative vehicles (electrified, hybrid, and gas) sold in June, this segment already represents more than half of the total market (53.73%), accumulating 397,495 sales so far this year and 55% of the global market. This momentum is crucial for the decarbonization of transport and reducing emissions in a country with an increasingly large fleet.

Despite this increase in the number of vehicles on the road and the rise of electric vehicles, a significant concern remains: the age of the Spanish vehicle fleet. Recent data places the average age of vehicles in Spain at around 14.5 years.

This figure contrasts markedly with the European average, which is approximately 12 years, meaning the Spanish fleet is significantly older. An aging fleet entails greater risks in terms of road safety and a greater environmental impact due to higher emissions, posing a significant challenge to the strategy of decarbonizing transport and improving road safety.
