World production by carmaker in the first half of 2020
- As we saw in a previous Auto-Analysis, global automobile production (PC + LUV) fell by 31.7% in the first half of 2020, due to the coronavirus crisis which caused confinement and closure of factories. Inovev established the ranking of the world's top 20 carmakers (excluding heavy utility vehicles) over this period, compared to the same period in 2019.
- The top five carmakers remain the same as those of the first quarter of 2020: the Toyota group is ahead of all its competitors despite a decline of 29.9%. The Volkswagen groups (-33.1%), Renault-Nissan (-39.2%), Hyundai-Kia (-27.5%) and GM (-36.2%) follow. In sixth position, Honda (-33.3%) supplants Ford (-40.6%). FCA (-36.5%) and PSA (-43.6%) keep their 8th and 9th place respectively, ahead of Daimler (-33.6%) and BMW (-26.2%) which supplant Suzuki (-40, 9%), which is abandoning the top 10 for the first time.
Geely(-17.8%) and Mazda (-28.8%) follow.

- The top 20 ends with the Chinese Changan (-3.5%), Great Wall (-30.1%), SAIC Roewe-MG (-19.7%) and Chery (-29.2%) benefiting from the revival of the Chinese market in the second quarter of 2020 and therefore gain a few places in the general classification during the first half of 2020.
- Tesla is only 23rd but it is the only carmaker to progress over the period among the world's top 25 carmakers, with an increase of 1.7% of its sales. Tesla was only 27th in the first half of 2019.
