They are divided in two areas:

  • The making of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, buses and coaches, referred all together as vehicle production. Production also covers the release of new vehicles (e.g. Ford, Honda and Cadillac in 2015)
  • The manufacturing of car parts, such as transmission and power train components, engines and engine parts, body parts and trim, electronics, braking systems, and steering and suspension components, referred all together as vehicle assembly production.

Car production reports show how the manufacturing has changed for a given period (quarter or year) in a percentage. This percentage provides information whether a company or a country has advanced or delayed relative to the previous period. Some private companies tend to release automotive statistics monthly as well. It is recommended to look also at auto sales statistics to have a comprehensive overview of a market. Vehicle sales and manufacturing data show the level of progress and are significant for making automotive predictions. Reports can also provide data on vehicle recalls that are strongly influencing manufacturers' results. As an example, FCA (Fiat Chrysler) recalled 702,000 vehicles for ignition-switch malfunction in 2015, a true nightmare for the company's reputation and sales results.

  • Country
  • Rate
  • Type (passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks and heavy trucks, or busses and coaches)
  • Quarter, Year

It uses parts coming from another country and another company. The production process is hence dependent on a huge automotive network of companies which interact with each other until the moment a vehicle is ready to be distributed and sold.
