Top 15 Largest Car Manufacturers in the World | 1999 - 2024

Sources: OICA, F&I Tools, annual reports from manufacturers

Note: As OICA stopped publishing statistics of motor vehicle production by manufacturer post-2017, statistics from 2018 onwards only include sales by manufacturer.

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

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.

Remarkable how Toyota dominates in production despite their cars lasting longer than ford or GM.

Hyundai Motor has gone from 13th to 3rd in just 15 years. Incredible 😮😮😮

Tesla _never_ made this list, exemplifying how blatantly overpriced their cars are and how overvalued the company is. 😤

I love BYD. The new energy vehicles produced by BYD are not only of high quality and low price, but also full of a sense of technology, comfortable and safe.

I thought the cut wasn't going to include BYD but dang did it come in hot in 2023. It would've been even higher if data from 2024 was included.
I love my BYD.
