Vehicle registration number South Korea 2023, by fuel type

Of approximately 25.95 million registered automobiles in South Korea in 2023, over twelve million burned gasoline for fuel, while another 9.5 million had diesel engines. The share of gasoline and LPG-fueled vehicles decreased compared to the previous year, while the number of environmentally-friendly hybrid, electric, and hydrogen vehicles have increased. This is in part due to government initiatives pushing the development of charging infrastructure for such green vehicles. Ongoing environmental issues, such as the particulate matter coming from China and climate change, have affected the way Koreans perceive environmental issues, stimulating greater interest in preserving the environment.

截至2023年，韩国登记的汽车数量约为2595万辆，其中超过1200万辆使用汽油作为燃料，另有950万辆配备柴油引擎。相较于上一年，汽油和液化石油气动力车辆的份额有所下降，而环保型混合动力、电动和氢燃料电池车辆的数目则有所增长。这一变化部分得益于政府推动此类绿色车辆充电基础设施建设的政策。持续的环境问题，如来自中国的颗粒物污染以及气候变化，影响了韩国人对环境问题的认知，进而激发了公众对环境保护的更大兴趣。
