Description

The Portugal passenger cars market in 2023 reflects steady fleet growth, gradual electrification, and an aging vehicle base. New passenger cars by type of engine fuel in 2023 were still dominated by petrol and diesel, but registrations of hybrid and fully electric cars gained momentum, supported by tax incentives and charging infrastructure expansion. From 2021 to 2023, the share of new passenger cars with alternative fuel engines increased consistently, signaling a clear consumer shift toward more sustainable mobility. The total number of passenger cars in circulation rose steadily between 2018 and 2023, with the motorisation rate in 2023 aligning with the European average, showing a strong reliance on private transport. By fuel type, the fleet remains heavily oriented toward diesel, though petrol cars and alternative fuel vehicles are steadily expanding their share. Engine-size distribution in 2023 shows that petrol-driven passenger cars are largely concentrated in smaller engines, while diesel vehicles dominate in mid-size categories, reflecting their historical use for long-distance travel. The age structure of Portugal’s fleet reveals a significant share of older vehicles, with a large proportion over 10 years old as of December 2023, highlighting both environmental challenges and opportunities for fleet renewal through electrification and more efficient technologies.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
