the Puplication |
previous publications on this subject, the data are based on processing of the vehicle file of the Licencing Office in the Ministry of Transport, which is carried out by the Central Bureau of Statistics. |
motor vehicles in Israel: type of vehicle, manufacture, country and year of production, place of registration and other characteristics. In addition, the publication includes tables of comparison with previous years and a table of comparison with selected countries and data on hauled vehicles which are not motor vehicles. |

about 6 percent compared with the end of 1999. Thereof, about 1,397,000 vehicles were private cars, about 310 thousand were trucks, about 77 thousand were motorcycles, about 16,500 were minibuses, about 11,800 were buses, about 14,800 were taxis and about 4,000 were special vehicles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

thereof about 187 thousand new vehicles (about 84 thousand were from production year 2000, and about 103 thousand were from production year 2001). In this period, there was a subtraction of about 102 thousand vehicles and the net addition of vehicles amounted to about 102 thousand. |

234 private cars. The highest rate of motorization was found in the following municipalities: in Tel Aviv-Yafo - 656 thereof 450 private cars, in Herzeliyya - 474 thereof 381 private cars, in Petah Tiqwa - 450 thereof 356 private cars, in Ramat Gan - 414, thereof 307 private cars, in Giv'atayim - 412 thereof 327 private cars, in Qiryat Ono - 395 thereof 324 private cars, in Ra'annana - 392 thereof 322 private cars and in Hod HaSharon - 392 thereof 309 private cars. |
Jerusalem (including East Jerusalem) - 214 thereof 168 private cars. |
Israel is relatively low, as yet. In 1999, the rate of motorization was 279 per 1,000 residents compared to 787 in the U.S.A., 716 in Italy, 708 in Canada, 683 in Switzerland, 676 in Japan, 667 in Austria, 620 in Germany, 609 in France and 557 in Norway. |
result from vehicle transportation. Carbon monoxide results from incomplete combustion of fuels. The relative contribution of the transportation sector to the total emission grows gradually over the years and stands to date at 98%. Data from the traffic monitoring stations, as reported by the Ministry of the Environment, indicate zero deviations from the half-hourly standard, from the day the stations started to monitor up to this day. |
most (80%) are from diesel vehicles. The traffic monitoring stations indicate hundreds of deviations for NOX. Over the last year, all stations, except for one, monitored maximal values way above the standards by a factor of ten or one hundred. In contrast to this finding, the annual average of NOX emission is below the standard level. |

The number of motor vehicles does not include army and police vehicles, towed vehicles, tractors, vehicles of foreign citizens and of holders of provisional vehicle licences, vehicles registered in the Palestinian Authority, vehicles of tourists staying in Israel less than 3 months, diplomatic and U.N. vehicles and the like. |

Since 1978, this type does not include dual purpose vehicles, which were transferred to the private car type. As of 1993, this type does not include "Minibus" (see definition and explanation below). As of 1996, the "Special truck for passengers" was included under "Bus". |

residents at the end of the year). The number of motor vehicles refers to the vehicle fleet, classified by the address (locality) of the registered owner of that vehicle. Thus, for example, Tel Aviv-Yafo is assigned a high rate of motorization, since state vehicles and vehicles of other large enterprises are registered there, even though they do not necessarily operate in the Tel Aviv-Yafo area. |
data on permanent population at end of 2000 are not yet available, the rate of motorization of each locality was calculated relative to the permanent population at end of 1999, excluding the "Grand total" which was calculated relative to the permanent population at end of 2000. |

refineries and manufacturing establishments. It may cause damage to the respiratory system and plants, and acts on metals as well. |

carbon, produced by natural resources (sand, pollen etc.) and by human activity resources (combustion, construction, quarrying etc.). The smaller the diameter of the particles, the more easily they can be inhaled into the respiratory system. Particles which are 10 microns or less in their diameter (PM10 Respirable Suspended Particulates), originate from natural resources and they include the fraction of particles which are 2.5 microns or less in their diameter (PM2.5 Fine Respirable Suspended Particulates). These particles originate from industry, transportation, and domestic heating. |
from emissions of vehicles. This gas obstructs the supply of oxygen to the body, which results in choking; and harms the oxygen supply to the body. Inhaling high concentrations of the gas may cause choking. |
and evaporation of fuels. These compounds originate mainly from emissions of vehicles and power stations. Some of them are suspected to be carcinogenic, and others can irritate the eyes and cause respiratory problems. |

hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and solar radiation. This kind of Ozone is created at the lower layer of the atmosphere (the troposphere) and is considered a greenhouse gas. It acts on some materials such as rubber, and can cause impair vision and damage the respiratory system. Ozone is the principle component of the "SMOG", which develops over areas with heavy traffic. In contrast to this "bad" ozone, the ozone created at the higher layer of the atmosphere (the stratosphere), is a protective gas that prevents the Ultra Violet radiation (UV) from reaching the biosphere. |
highways. Measurement is carried out at the height of the motor vehicle. In these stations, air pollutants are measured continuously and automatically by special monitors. These data are stored temporarily at the station, averaged every five minutes, and transferred to the National Air Monitoring Center of the Ministry of the Environment for the purpose of permanent storage and continued processing. All traffic stations, except the Klal center station in Jerusalem, have been in full operation since 1998. All of them are monitored by the Ministry of the Environment except the two stations on the Begin road, which are monitored by the Jerusalem municipality. |
Uptime rates below 100% can be attributed to daily time devoted to scaling, instrument failure or disruption of work at the station. |

In Israel, as in other developed countries, cars produced as of 1993 are required by law to use the CC. However, the annual car registration test still does not require inspection of CCs. To date there is also no regulation to replace defective CC. |
