Counts are the ministry's own monthly files: one row per passenger car first registered in Romania, new or used. Re-registrations of cars already in Romania are not in the file. Models are the ministry's commercial descriptions, normalised; plug-in hybrids cannot be separated from other hybrids. Percentages are shown only when the comparison month has at least 30 registrations.
