Can you please help me understand the meaning of the following sentence:

The report says that 85% of British commuter traffic is by car, 40% of which is devoted to commuter traffic.

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Are you certain of the words in the original sentence. To me, it sounds as though there's something missing. Commuter traffic comprises buses, trains, cars, and cycles--of which 85% are commuting by car.

I can't understand it either. It is not a natural English sentence.
