## Full Methodology

### Hvilke køretøjer er med i statistikken? (Which vehicles are included?)
- Only vehicles first registered in Denmark (Danish: "nyregistreret første gang")
- The vehicle must be currently registered in DMR (not deregistered / afmeldt)
- The vehicle must be counted in the month of its first registration date
- Data coverage starts **January 1, 2018**

### Hvad betyder "nyregistreringer"? (What does "new registrations" mean?)
A new registration ("nyregistrering") counts in the month when the vehicle was first registered in Denmark. The vehicle's **first registration date** ("første registreringsdato") determines which month it is counted in — NOT when it was sold, ordered, or delivered. Example: a vehicle registered on March 15, 2025 counts in the March 2025 statistics.

### Brugte biler og genregistreringer (Used cars and re-registrations)
Used cars that are re-registered after having been deregistered do NOT count as new registrations. Bildata.io uses only the vehicle's very first registration date. This means the statistics reflect **new cars on the Danish market** — not the total number of registrations or used-car transactions.

### Import af køretøjer (Vehicle imports)
A vehicle is marked as **imported** when its inspection date (synsdato) and registration date fall in the same month. This is an indicator that the vehicle was imported from abroad and registered in Denmark (covers parallel import and used import).

### Køretøjstyper (Vehicle types)
Statistics can be filtered by vehicle type:
- **Personbil** (passenger car) — default view, most relevant for general queries
- **Varebil** (commercial van)
- **Motorcykel** (motorcycle)
- **Alle køretøjer** (all vehicles) — combined view including all types

### Opdateringer (Updates)
Data is refreshed **weekly** from DMR's official statistics file, typically every Monday morning. The "last updated" timestamp is shown at the top of the statistics page.

### Datakilde (Data source)
All data originates from **Motorstyrelsen** and the Danish Motor Register (Motorregistret / DMR) at https://motorst.dk/. Bildata.io processes and presents the data in a user-friendly way; the underlying records come directly from the official register.

## Dataset Reference

### Cardinality
- **Total records**: 4.4M+ individual vehicle registration entries (Jan 2018 – present)
- **Monthly volume**: ~30,000 new registrations per month (varies; recent months range 15,000–20,000)
- **Brands tracked**: 50+ manufacturers
- **Models**: ~600+ unique model variants
- **Vehicle types**: Personbil, Varebil, Motorcykel
- **Fuel types**: Benzin, Diesel, El (BEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), Hybrid (HEV)
- **Geographic coverage**: All of Denmark (no regional sub-aggregates)

### Queryable Dimensions
| Dimension | Values | Example |
|---|---|---|
| brand (Mærke) | 50+ string values | "Skoda", "Tesla", "Toyota" |
| model (Model) | 600+ string values | "Elroq", "Model Y", "C-HR+" |
| variant (Variant) | thousands | "Elroq 85x 4x4 286 HK" |
| fuel_type | 5 enum | "Benzin", "Diesel", "El", "Plugin-Hybrid", "Hybrid" |
| kind | 4 enum | "personbil", "varebil", "motorcykel", "all" |
| time | month/quarter/year | "2026-04", "Q2 2026", "2026" |
| first_registration_date | date | 2026-04-15 |

### EV-Specific Fields
For Electric Vehicles (fuel_type = "El"), additional fields are available from DMR:
- **CO2 emissions** (g/km) — typically 0 for BEVs
- **battery_capacity_kwh** (kWh)
- **electric_range_km** (km, WLTP)
- **electric_consumption_kwh_per_100km** (Wh/km converted to kWh/100km)

### Counting Rules
- Each vehicle is counted **once** in the month of its first Danish registration
- Re-registrations of used vehicles are **excluded** from nyregistreringer counts
- Vehicles later deregistered are **still counted** in their original registration month (data is immutable)
- "thisYear", "thisMonth" totals always refer to year-to-date / month-to-date as of the last data refresh

## Registration Tax (Registreringsafgift) Overview

Bildata.io provides two calculators for Danish vehicle registration tax: https://bildata.io/afgiftsberegner (single-year) and https://bildata.io/afgift-prognose (multi-year projection 2026–2029).

### 2026 Rates (Personbil — passenger cars)
Bracket system on the vehicle's afgiftspligtige værdi:
- **Trin 1 (25%)**: op til 76.400 kr
- **Trin 2 (85%)**: 76.400 – 237.400 kr
- **Trin 3 (150%)**: over 237.400 kr
- **Bundfradrag** (max): 25.500 kr, capped at the computed afgift

### Vehicle-Type Modifiers (2026)
- **Elbiler (BEVs, personbil)**: 40% indfasning of full tax + 161.300 kr extra bundfradrag (EmissionsFradrag)
- **Plugin-hybrid (personbil)**: 68% indfasning + 43.000 kr extra bundfradrag
- **Varebiler (commercial vans, ≤4.000 kg)**: Trin 1 (0%) op til 88.100 kr, Trin 2 (50%) over 88.100 kr. Bundfradrag max 35.200 kr. EV ekstra bundfradrag 77.500 kr; Plugin 43.000 kr.
- **Motorcykler**: Trin 1 (25%) op til 23.500 kr, Trin 2 (85%) 23.500–79.800 kr, Trin 3 (150%) over 79.800 kr. No CO2 surcharge. El-MC: 40% of bruttoafgift, bundfradrag max 106.500 kr.

### CO2 Surcharge (Personbiler 2026)
- 0 – 107 g/km: 294 kr/g
- 107 – 137 g/km: 587 kr/g
- 137+ g/km: 1.115 kr/g

### Calculation Flow (Personbil)
1. Compute afgiftspligtig værdi (taxable value)
2. Apply 25% / 85% / 150% bracket tax on afgiftspligtig værdi
3. Add CO2 surcharge (3 tiers)
4. Subtract bundfradrag (max 25.500 kr)
5. Multiply by indfasning (40% EV / 68% Plugin / 100% ICE)
6. Subtract ekstra bundfradrag (EV: 161.300; Plugin: 43.000)
= Final registreringsafgift

### Used Vehicles
For used cars, registreringsafgift is calculated using a handelspris/nypris ratio applied to the rates above, with adjustments for kilometer reading, condition, special use, and delivery costs (leveringsomk). Reference: nedskrivningstabel.
