Observation on data availability/gaps

Data lacks granularity and is only published in a research paper in year 2013. The calculation of VKT for car is using odometer reading data from car manufacturer. The odometer readings were collected from headquarters of Perodua, Proton and Toyota. These data were recorded by the respective car manufacturers from all their service centers. Table 2 shows the average annual kilometer travelled (AAKT) by brands for year 2013.
