(2) Includes electric, gasoline-electric, and diesel-electric vehicles.

Looking at the data from TURKSTAT, it can be seen that between 2004 and 2007, fueled vehicles were used (gasoline, diesel, and LPG), while since 2015, the use of electric, gasoline-electric, and dieselelectric vehicles has become more prevalent.

The distribution of fuels used according to the types of vehicles registered to traffic (cars, minibusses, busses, vans, trucks, motorcycles, tractors and special purpose vehicles) is shown in the graph. While the number of electric hybrid vehicles (electric, gasoline-electric, diesel-electric) was 5,847 in 2015, it reached 82,710 in 2020.
