List of manufacturers by motor vehicle production

This is a list of manufacturers by motor vehicle production, by year, based on Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA).

Motor vehicles produced by country in 2013

Figures include passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, minibuses, trucks, buses and coaches. OICA defines these entries as follows:[1]

  • Passenger cars are motor vehicles with at least four wheels, used for the transport of passengers, and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat.
  • Light commercial vehicles (LCV) are motor vehicles with at least four wheels, used for the carriage of goods. Mass given in tons (metric tons) is used as a limit between light commercial vehicles and heavy trucks. This limit depends on national and professional definitions, and it varies between 3.5 and 7 tons. Minibuses, derived from light commercial vehicles, are used for the transport of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat and having a maximum mass between 3.5 and 7 tons.
  • Heavy trucks (HCV) are vehicles intended for the carriage of goods. Maximum authorised mass is over the limit (ranging from 3.5 to 7 tons) of light commercial vehicles. They include tractor vehicles designed for towing semi-trailers.
  • Buses and coaches are used for the transport of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat, and having a maximum mass over the limit (ranging from 3.5 to 7 tonnes) of light commercial vehicles.

Overview

Motor vehicle production by manufacturer (top five groups)

The summary chart includes the five largest worldwide automotive manufacturing groups as of 2017 by number of vehicles produced. Those same groups held the top 5 positions 2007 to 2019; Hyundai / Kia had a lower rank until it took the fifth spot in 2007 from the at that time split German-American auto manufacturer DaimlerChrysler, while Ford became surpassed by Honda in 2020, and even Nissan in 2021, before surpassing them again in 2022. Figures were compiled by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) before the year 2018:2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015,2016,2017.

2020

As OICA stopped publishing statistics of motor vehicle production by manufacturer post-2017, statistics for year 2020 only includes sales by manufacturer. All ten largest automakers by production as of 2017 remained in the top 10 positions before the 2021 merger between Fiat-Chrysler and the PSA Group.
