What is the average global annual car mileage?

According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the average annual mileage for passenger cars worldwide is around 12,000 kilometers (7,456 miles). This figure includes both developed and developing countries, and it is heavily influenced by the high car ownership rates and long commuting distances in some countries, particularly in North America and Europe. However, it is important to note that there is significant variation in car mileage between countries, with some countries having much lower average annual mileages (e.g., Japan and China) and others having much higher average annual mileages (e.g., the United States and Canada).
