Motor vehicles produced by country in 2013

This is a list of the biggest motor vehicle manufacturers by annual sales or production, compiled using data from F&I Tools USA (2018 onwards) and the Organisation internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA) (2001-2017).

2018-2024 worldwide car sales

As OICA stopped publishing statistics of motor vehicle production by manufacturer post-2017, numbers for 2018 onward only include sales by the manufacturer.

2021-2024

BYD entered the top 10 and Changan and Geely increased sales. Tesla entered the top 15 in 2023 then fell out in 2024.

2001-2017 production volumes

These figures from OICA include a variety of vehicle types, defined as follows:

  • Passenger cars: Vehicles with at least four wheels, primarily used to transport passengers, with no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
  • Light commercial vehicles (LCVs): Vehicles with at least four wheels, mainly for transporting goods, with a maximum mass ranging between 3.5 and 7 tons depending on national definitions. Minibuses also fall into this category; they are used for passenger transport, contain more than eight seats in addition to the driver, and have a maximum mass within the same range.
  • Heavy trucks (HCVs): Vehicles designed to carry goods above the mass limits of light commercial vehicles, including tractor units for towing semi-trailers.
  • Buses and coaches: Vehicles for passenger transport with more than eight seats beyond the driver, and a maximum mass exceeding the limits defined for light commercial vehicles.

This classification ensures that production statistics are comparable across countries and manufacturers.

Production 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 Motor Group 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.
