More than 22,000 vehicles — which under China’s statistics system includes everything from private cars to trucks — were registered. An estimated three million will be on the roads by May, the official news agency said.
"The Chinese love affair with car ownership continues unabated," the report said.
The Chinese capital already boasts more than two million privately owned vehicles and 4.24 million people have a driving licence, it added. The city has a population of around 15 million.
