                                                              vehicles were registered, a figure that is only

                     vehicle, car registrations, which are 70.5% of total registered units, increased 23.5% compared
                     with 2020. Motorcycles are the second largest category of vehicle registrations (19.5%) and these
                     increased  11.3%  in  2021,  exceeding  the  pre-pandemic  figures.  Among  the  vehicle  categories
                     related to economic activity and business investment plans, van registrations increased (22%) and
                     special vehicles (24%), but lorries decreased (-20%). The number of snow bike registrations also
                     fell (-36%) due to the poor 2020-2021 ski season.


                     This increase in registrations meant that the total number of registered vehicles increased 2.3%.
                     Per 1,000 inhabitants (estimated population), there are 1,171 units including all vehicles, and 790
                     counting only cars. This means that on average there are more vehicles than residents of this country.


                     Over  the  last  few  years,  the  demand  for  electric  and  hybrid  vehicles  benefitted  from  the
                     incentives to purchase eco-friendly vehicles promoted by the Government (Engega Plan). In 2021,
                     registrations  of  eco-friendly  vehicles  greatly
                     increased, added to the increase in 2020 after   In 2021, the number of electric and

                     plug-in and non-plug-in hybrid vehicles (a much higher figure than the 276 in 2020 and 77 in
                     2019). These two categories of vehicle already represent 15% of total registrations, while in the
                     period 2016-2019 they did not reach 5% on average. The Government aims for 20% of cars to
