Hi Guys,

Just stumbled upon this stuff while surfing. This is a list of top 20 vehicle manufacturers in the world by volume. The numbers next to the names are sales in year 2006. Plus it also lists their brands, the nature of that brand (division/subsidiary) and its markets.

Was happy to see maruti and tata in the list. Mods, apologies if this has been posted earlier, please delete this then.The orignal source is...

Don't think that's anything to be ashamed of.
Chrysler's ahead of Daimler AG and BMW AG, but, we know who's in a better state of affairs.

I thought Kia was a part of Hyundai and Subaru was taken over by Toyota.

That's true. Hyundai and Kia together are Hyundai Kia Automotive Group. They are currently at #6 position in the world (2006-7 data).

[sabret00the]

wow that's pretty impressive considering that most of the top players are showing their Global Volumes whereas most of the Indian players listed have a smaller market mostly domestic and a small export share....when these companies go global the positions are sure to change...

[Steeroid]

Add Hyundai and Kia and you get a total volume of 3.84 mio or #5 on the list above Honda.

Subaru was not part of Toyota in 2006.

wasent subaru taken over by GM?

[Nitin]

Interesting. Makes more sense when you see actual numbers being put forward.
With the nano hitting the streets in Sept '08, TATA will see a big change in their sales figures.

Subaru was taken over by neither GM nor Toyota. GM just bought a certain percentage of stake in Subaru. GM then dumped all of its stake, some on Toyota back in 2006 I think.

They are, but Chrysler makes cheaper cars than both the Germans and so they have to sell more. Whereas when Tata and Lada are concerned, they both kind of make cheap cars for the masses unlike Daimler and BMW. Looks like the Indian automotive industry has a lot of catching up to do.

Good to find atleast one indian motor company in top 20. But afte th launch of Nano, I think the figures will change drastically and Tata's will be within 10th (I hope).

In all probability,that might happen. The Nano is being projected at being the highest selling vehicle in the history of car sales.

Yes may be Nano is bieng projected at being the highest selling vehicle in the history of car sales, Nano has changed the prospectives of many car manufactures, actualy its been a great combination of technology & great effort, no one in the world has expected this kind of car in a small budget & it will definatly creates a history in the automotive world & in country like india it would sell like a hot pan cakes..i am also planning to buy one for me...
