NAFTA Vehicle Production Analysis - Production in Canada – 3/6
- Production (PC + LUV) in Canada increased from 2.6 million to 2.4 million in 10 years, with an average decrease of less than 1% per year. However, in 2015, the downward trend has accelerated with a decline of 6.5% compared to 2014.
- In 2015, US-controlled companies (GM and Ford) represented 35% of automobile production in the country (against 49% in 2005 without Chrysler). The highlight comes from the growth of carmakers under Japanese control who have become the first producers in Canada, since Toyota and Honda groups represented 43% of the total production in the country in 2015 (against 24% in 2005). Chrysler under Italian control represented 21% of Canadian production in 2015 (0% in 2005). German carmakers, formerly Chrysler owners through Daimler, are no longer present in Canada, while they represented 27% of production in 2005.
- By volume, US-controlled companies produced 850 000 units in 2015 (1.25 million in 2005). Companies under Japanese control have produced 1.05 million vehicles (630 000 in 2005) and Chrysler (FCA - Italy) produced 500 000 vehicles against 700 000 in 2005 when he was still under the control of Daimler.
- In Canada, the stability in production (excluding times of crisis) can be explained by the fact that Japanese carmakers increased their volumes while US carmakers reduced their production.
