In NACE, the European code those registers use, 1,005,863 of them (45%) sit in classes 49.41 (freight transport by road), 49.39 (other passenger land transport n.e.c.) and 52.29 (other transportation support activities), part of divisions 49 (land transport and transport via pipelines) and 52 (warehousing and support activities for transportation).
