Sitting in seemingly endless traffic in Nanjing, it’s easy to wonder as to exactly how many cars there are in Nanjing. That has always been a bit of a mystery, until now, as the new year has brought with it government willingness to share the relevant data.
坐在南京看似无尽的车流中，人们很容易想知道南京到底有多少辆汽车。直到现在，这一直有点神秘，因为新的一年政府愿意分享相关数据。
As Nanjing closed out 2022, there was a grand total of 3.206 million cars on our City’s roads. This places Nanjing second in Jiangsu Province in a league table of cities with the most cars. Top place goes to Suzhou, where there are a staggering 5.073 million registered vehicles.
截至2022年，南京市道路上汽车保有量达320.6万辆。这使得南京在江苏省拥有汽车最多的城市中排名第二。位居榜首的是苏州，登记车辆数量达到惊人的507.3万辆。
But it is worth remembering that a vehicle’s city of registration does not necessarily mean that is where it spends the bulk of its driving life. Local people are known to return to their home town to buy a car, aware of lower tax rates and other incentives.
但值得记住的是，车辆的注册城市并不一定意味着它在该城市度过了大部分的驾驶寿命。众所周知，当地人知道较低的税率和其他激励措施后会返回家乡购买汽车。
In Nanjing for example, it is also common now to see cars with the license plate prefix, 苏U, which is an overflow designation for Suzhou (normally 苏E) given that the city has so many cars it has run out of available numbers.
例如，在南京，现在也很常见车牌前缀为“苏U”的汽车，这是苏州（通常为“苏E”）的溢出名称，因为该市的汽车数量太多，已经用完了。
Looking to Jiangsu as a whole, at the end of 2022, the Province had seen an increase of 5.53 percent in the number of vehicles on its roads over the previous year.
纵观江苏全省，截至2022年底，全省道路汽车保有量比上年增长5.53%。
This made for a total of 24.968 million vehicles, excluding tractors. The Yangtze Evening News reports therein are 23.097 million cars, including three-wheeled vehicles and light trucks; 1.656 million motorcycles and 2.15 million trailers.
不包括拖拉机，汽车总数为2496.8万辆。据《扬子晚报》报道，其中汽车保有量2309.7万辆，其中三轮汽车、轻型货车保有量；摩托车165.6万辆，拖车215万辆。
Looking to a breakdown of all 13 cities in Jiangsu Province, the number of registered motor vehicles at end 2022, in the millions, looked like this:
