KEY: N = data do not exist; U = data are not available.
a Does not include minivans, pickups, and sport utility vehicles.
b Formerly Czechoslovakia and Ward's does not report a number for Slovakia.
c Yugoslavia no longer exists and Ward's does not report numbers for countries that were previously a part of Yugoslovia
d Includes all trucks and buses. Light trucks, such as pickups, sport utility vehicles, and minivans are included under commercial vehicles.
NOTES
Prior to 2000, the country of manufacture was recognized as the producing country. To conform with current OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers) practices, starting in 2000, the country of final assembly was recognized as the producing country. This explains the sudden change in trends across some countries from 1999 to 2000.
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
Beginning in 1998 some smaller countries not listed in this table are included in the world totals
