BEIJING, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- China had approximately 415 million motor vehicles and more than 500 million motor-vehicle drivers at the end of November 2022, both ranking first in the world, according to statistics released by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) Thursday.
Among the licensed motor-vehicle drivers, 463 million were car drivers, the official data showed.
In recent years, China's automobile ownership has increased by more than 20 million annually, with the total number reaching 318 million at the end of November, the MPS said.
