Data 0.5.0 (pre-release)

Fifth data release of openvehicle-data: passenger cars (EU category M1) registered in Italy in 2025, from the EEA CO2 monitoring data (2025 provisional).

What changed since 0.4.0

• Model families. The catalog's "models" are the EEA commercial names, which for some makers include trim and engine (Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 D 4MATIC, BMW X1 SDRIVE18D, Volkswagen ID.4 PRO 210 KW). Every model now belongs to a family (families.csv, family_id on each model): 634 families for 1,177 models. Reviewed rules per brand group the models of 18 brands (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen ID., Maserati, Ferrari, Cupra, MINI, Lexus, Skoda, Volvo, Hyundai, Renault, Opel, Bentley, Rolls-Royce); brands without rules keep one family per model. For example Mercedes-Benz goes from 161 models to 26 families, BMW from 175 to 30.
• No model, variant or measured value changes: see CHANGELOG.md (634 families added, the 1,177 models get their family_id).

Contents: 84 brands, 634 families, 1,177 models, 714 engines, 12,649 variants, with the source, license and verification status of the technical specification fields, and registrations on families, models and variants.

Files: openvehicle-data.db (SQLite), one CSV per table (now including families.csv), provenance.csv, dataset.json, manifest.json (SHA-256 of every file), CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE-DATA, NOTICE.

Known limits: no trims or equipment; no wheelbase or track width (empty in the Italian EEA data); names as reported by the EEA (upper case); families only for the 18 brands above; years are registration years seen in the data, not production years. Pre-release: the source data is provisional.

The original spellings stay as aliases. Model and variant ids of the merged spellings change; see CHANGELOG.md.

What changed since 0.2.0

• A small reviewed corrections file is now applied, each entry with a written reason. Two models listed under the wrong make in the source are excluded (FIAT GOLF, a Volkswagen; FIAT AVENGER, a Jeep), and brand names written several ways are merged into one canonical brand, keeping the other spellings as aliases: VW and VOLKSWAGEN, VW into VOLKSWAGEN, SSANGJONG into SSANGYONG, MERCEDES into MERCEDES-BENZ, DS AUTOMOBILES into DS, SOCIETE DES AUTOMOBILES ALPINE(SAA) into ALPINE, CATERHAM CARS LTD. into CATERHAM.

• New registrations field on models and variants (cars registered in the source data), so clients can sort by popularity and skip one-off or mistyped entries.
