Autostatistika.ee
Bilingual (Estonian/English) explorer for official Estonian vehicle statistics. Registrations, the vehicle fleet and
technical inspections are imported from Transpordiamet files, validated, then published as aggregates. The site does
not invent numbers.
Autostatistika is not an official service of Transpordiamet or the Estonian government.
Coverage (rebuilt 26 Oct 2026)
- Registrations: every month 2006-01 to 2026-09 (249), brand rankings for 236 months, fuel 144, new-car models 231
(every model month adds up to the stated new-car total)
- Vehicle fleet: monthly 2006-2015 from Infoleht; register general tables for 1.1.2017, 1.8.2017, 1.1.2018, 1.6.2018 and
1.1.2019; bus registers 2010 and 2020; the open register snapshots (1 January 2020-2026, monthly from 1 October 2026)
with complete splits by make, county and age
- Inspections: 109 monthly reports 2010-01 to 2019-04 (three months are not published by the source)
See docs/methodology.md for the parsing rules and cross-checks, and docs/operations.md for commands, hosting and
the weekly update.
The site
| Path | What it shows |
|---|
/et, /en | Hero (blueprint drawing, selected-month figures, animated brand ranking with logos, timeline, brand duel) and the explorer: registrations, fleet, inspections, insights, methodology. The brand comparison has a period control (2, 5, 10 years or all); it and the registrations history each have a trend analysis card ("Analüüsi trendi", optional Claude wording) |
/et/margid, /et/margid/<brand> | 57 brand pages: new cars by year, month and model, first-registration ranking, trucks |
/et/kuu, /et/kuu/<YYYY-MM> | 249 month pages: vehicle types, brand rankings, new cars by brand and model, fuels, new cars by county, power, gearbox and colour |
/et/otsing | Vehicle search over the latest register snapshot: make, model, year, power, fuel, gearbox, body, county, status and technical filters; results as variants with counts and spec ranges, side-by-side comparison of up to 4 variants, CSV download |
/og/...png | A share image per page; sitemap.xml lists all 620 pages |
URL segments are Estonian in both languages (/en/margid/bmw).
What is verified
- Every published month is rebuilt from all 384 source files and compared row by row before publishing
(
scripts/compare_bundle.py; the weekly job refuses to publish if any table loses rows)
- September 2026, passenger cars, from
Esm(üldtabel): 3639 first registrations, 1670 new, 1969 used
- Monthly first registrations 2006-2014 match Transpordiamet's consolidated table except where that table itself is
wrong (see
docs/methodology.md)
Stack
- Next.js 15 App Router with
output: "export", TypeScript, Tailwind 4, next-intl, Motion, Apache ECharts
- GitHub Pages hosting; GitHub Actions for deploys (
deploy.yml) and the weekly data update (ingest.yml)
- Python ingestion (pandas, openpyxl, xlrd); SQLite warehouse, rebuilt from cached source files each run
- Brand marks from Simple Icons (CC0) and Wikimedia Commons, see
apps/web/public/logos/NOTICE.md
Run
# data (from the repo root)
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
set PYTHONPATH=. # Windows cmd; bash: export PYTHONPATH=.
python -m pytest ingestion/tests -q
python -m ingestion backfill --source samples
# site
cd apps/web
npm install
npm test # data-view and page-model tests
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000/et
npm run build && npm run preview # the static export, as deployed
npm run logos # regenerate brand marks (rarely needed)
The full 2006-2026 backfill and the weekly job are described in docs/operations.md.

Known limits
- Fleet 2016-2019 has five snapshots from the register general tables; motorcycles and mopeds are missing there (the
tables count them together)
- Older register codes TR, RO and TH (pre-2008 tractors and tractor trailers) are classified by evidence, not by an
official definition; confirmation from Transpordiamet is pending (methodology)
- Brand rankings combine new and used registrations (the source's TOP sheets), so there is no new/used split per brand
- Alfa Romeo has no free official mark: a monogram on the site, no mark on its share image
- Core Web Vitals: lab only so far (Lighthouse mobile, 27 Oct 2026: /et 70, brand page 89, /otsing 81; CLS 0). Field data comes
from Search Console once Google has enough visits
- Supabase Postgres/Storage and Sentry need account credentials; Teabevärav vehicle-level CSVs are not imported
(the slug API returned HTTP 500); Tableau dashboards are not a source
- Optional AI phrasing of the insights needs
OPENAI_API_KEY; the site uses deterministic, evidence-backed sentences without it
- The trend analysis words its computed statements with Claude only when the trend-analyst Worker is deployed and
TREND_API_URL is set (docs/operations.md); until then it shows the computed text
