Global automotive production (VP + LCV) by manufacturers (Top 10)
- The production volume of non-Chinese manufacturers traditionally includes the volumes assembled for them by Chinese manufacturers, which gives the following results: the Volkswagen, Toyota, Renault-Nissan and GM groups remain the world's top four manufacturers. And Chinese manufacturers are far behind, the most important (Geely) being only in thirteenth place.
- When we include the production volumes of non-Chinese manufacturers assembled by Chinese manufacturers, we obtain a completely different classification, since the Toyota group then becomes the world's largest manufacturer (9.3 million vehicles), and outperforms Renault-Nissan groups (8.4 million) and Volkswagen (6.8 million) which have more vehicles manufactured by Chinese manufacturers. This is especially true for Volkswagen. The Hyundai-Kia group (6.3 million) is way ahead of the GM group (4.6 million), which also has more vehicles manufactured by Chinese manufacturers.
- Chinese manufacturer SAIC (which produces for GM and Volkswagen) is in fifth place in the world, with 5.8 million vehicles assembled, which is not as good as in 2018, but SAIC has necessarily suffered from the drop in sales of GM that 'he produces.
- Ford (4.9 million), FCA (4.3 million) and PSA (3.7 million) maintain their position in both rankings because these manufacturers now produce very few vehicles in China. Conversely, Honda (3.5 million) which produces a lot in China, loses three places compared to the Western ranking and finds itself tenth in the Chinese ranking.
