WORLD MOTOR VEHICLE DATA 1984-85 EDITION

This statistical compilation of international motor vehicle data through 1983 includes production totals by manufacturers as well as by country. Since it is necessary to use different data sources from year to year, there are occasional differences in the number reported for various classes of vehicles from some countries. This is due to the lack of uniformity of definitions for certain vehicles. In such cases, car, truck and bus data vary from one source to another and, accordingly, in the year to year data reported. Although special efforts have been made to segregate vehicle assembly data from production data, the world totals for production may include some duplication since it is not possible for all countries to identify assemblies from production. The data in this report were supplied by foreign government agencies, trade associations, private services and the press. It should be noted that the basis on which the data are reported will vary. For example, vehicle output may be measured in terms of production, shipments, or factory sales. New vehicles sold may be measured in terms of retail sales or new registrations. Imports and exports are subject to problems of compilation and definition. As a result, data accuracies vary and international comparisons are, of course, affected by these discrepancies.
