Ranking of world's largest world's countries by car (motor vehicle) production Figures include passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, minibuses, trucks, buses and coaches Music: Night Stalker - Wave Saver
The oil crisis really paved the way for the Japanese companies to thrive, because the Japanese cars at the time, the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Datsun 510, Toyota Celica, Subaru DL, Mazda RX3, RX4, Dodge Colt(Mitsubishi Galant import), were all seen as superior, well built and fuel efficent and reigned from the 70s to the 90s.
South korean and Japanese stories are the most impressive because of their lack of sizable domestic consumption. They were mostly playing on foreign turf. Amazing
This vid was absolutely fantastic. Subscribed for sure. That said, I have a joke to add: Ireland: "Don't forget the Delorian time machine!" Again, wonderful video.
In China, no body thinks about number 1; they just work. a lot of chinese don't even know China already is number 1 in the car industry. pls go ahead fight for you number 1, good luck!
@@firefoxspace because your regime dont want their public to know about real world .. They fear of public upraising .. As long as economy is stable china is stable .. Other wise we know bloody politics of china , cultural revolution, 70s-80s hunger deaths , civil war , massacres of tibbetians , uigher and every one opposing communist ideology .. even in party they killed many .. in india we may have differences but we dont do inhuman things for power , we work hard after losing , we win trust , and welcome decision of public .. Democracy may get slow results but it will be always stable .. Atleast

@@henryfink5348 Not entirely Obama’s fault. It’s mainly career politicians that have the tax law set up to incentive companies to invest their money in China.
Capitalism has a lot to do with scale - the more you sell the more you make. Well, China has five times the amount of home grown consumers - do the math. Fortunately for us they do not try and impose their culture on others, a habit America has indulged in extensively.

@@stevelacker358 lol. Fun fact. Tesla built is China has better quality, better fit, better finishes than Tesla built in the US. Which has a 60% reject rating on first delivery. Where consumer do a quick walk-around the cars before they accept it. The only 40% ONLY accept the cars because they don't want to wait another 6-8 months for delivery.
This strange ranking ... I can name the brands of German, American, French, English, Japanese cars, but I cannot name any Chinese brand ... The first manufacturer in the world and there is no known brand ... Maybe they skinned something for the Chinese market, stealing technology at the same time, because the Chinese economy is based on the theft of Western technologies ...
@@ius7790 It's because China has a massive domestic market with more and more middle class demanding more and more cars. You don't hear much about Chinese cars (possibly other than Nio) because there is no need to sell many Chinese cars abroad when they have such a huge market at home. So take off your tinfoil hat and actually think clearly dude
@@KHANSTER1029 In Europe, in every country, I see Chinese working for low wages, for them they are at least 5 times higher than in China ... This is power, high aspirations and the standard of living as in the 3rd world country ...
@@ius7790 It really depends where you look. At my workplace within a bank, a strong number of people within high paying banking roles are Chinese or ethnically Asian. It really depends where you look. I can't speak for the rest of Europe but in the UK there are many Chinese in low paying jobs such as at Chinese restaurants and shops but also many Chinese in high paying job in the tech, finance and accounting industries. Also, wages are only applicable when considering your standard of living. When I was in China, the costs associated with a modern standard of living are less than here in the UK. e.g £0.75 to use the subway in Shanghai, £1.50 for a meal at a local restaurant, £0.30 for a bus fare so even though their wages are lower, their daily costs are lower too. Living in the UK is expensive which is why we have such high wages.
@@ius7790 Chinese never work for foreigners.They always have their own businesses unlike Europeans that start from 0.Chinese people that want to start a business out of China have goverment's help to do that.This is why China is owning us here in Europe.They are not selfish like us but they cooperate.Europe is becoming a big mess and its Germany's and France's fault partly.

4:29 When China overtook Germany's third spot in 2006, the U.S. and Japan still produced about two times more cars than China, their spots looked safe to me, but in 2007 China overtook both of them. That's bloody unbelievable, how did China do that? I thought they need at least 10 years to get the top spot but they did it in just one year!

Amazing story telling! If a picture is worth a thousand words, this video is a great book. From the early US dominance, to the rise of Japan, the emergence of S Korea, to the light-speed overtake by China. This video tells it all in 6 minutes. Bravo!
Also the fall the Great Britain. It went from formidable number 2 spot to nowhere to be seen in the list. Boris Johnson should see this chart to get a realistic view of his country today before send it's warships to South China sea to confront Chinese dominance in South China sea.

worth noting that Spain has less than half of the population any of the rest have, except Belgium. I didn't expect to see it appear so early and hold on for so long
Producer does not mean manufacturer, I take for example France whose all French brands are 80% assembled abroad (China, Russia, Romania, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and especially in Spain). All cars assembled in Spain are all 100% foreign which distorts your Top 10 , no 100% Spanish car brand is manufactured in Spain , due to this fact Spain should not appear in this Top 10. Translated text from French to English by Google translation.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Productor no quiere decir constructor , tomo como ejemplo Francia cuyas marcas Francesas son 80% ensambladas en el extranjero ( China , Rusia , Rumania , Turquía , Marruecos , Argelia , Túnez y sobre todo en España ). Todos los coches montados en España son 100% extranjeros lo que falsea su Top 10 , ninguna marca de coche 100% Española se fabrica en España , debido a este hecho España no debería aparecer en este Top 10.

@@thierryrebillard6432 yet when it appeared the brands were Spanish and other than the Seat 600 (a version of the Fiat 500) the cars and trucks were 100% Spanish.
@@jporraseditAt the time when Spain produced some brands of trucks and cars SEAT (FIAT license) it was quite confidential and it can not influence the world automotive market of the last 30 years.
As far as I know India doesn't export its own automobile brands. India only export foreign brands since India has manufacturing plant of foreign brands as well. Indian brands are mostly not going outside our country. One of the reason is big population but Chinese brands have recently started going high outside china despite its population.
I miss the Japanese cars of the 1980's... simple, reliable, efficient. They combined the high quality and simple functionality that made the Japanese brands famous in the first place with non-complicating improvements such as electronic ignition and basic fuel injection, for even greater reliability and efficiency. Unfortunately the Japanese companies have gone chasing higher-priced markets since then, making fancy features standard and putting all advances in engine technology into higher horsepower instead of greater fuel efficiency. My rustbucket 1987 Tercel used to get 39 MPG when it had over 200,000 miles on it; hard to find a non-hybrid to match that today in peak condition, with 30+ years of technology advances.
My 1988 Nissan Hatchback was the most practical car I ever owned. At 55mph, the then speed limit, and after some fiddling with custom timing and heat settings I got 56mpg from Kansas City, Oklahoma City, 2 passengers and light luggage. Now it was only 70hp so hill climbing was a bit tedious, yet on much longer trips like KC to NYC, cruising at 90mph mileage would drop down to around 40mpg and hills weren't a problem. Mind you it was advertised at 39mpg highway and I always beat that number even under less favorable conditions. It did have one issue. On a NYC to KC trip, in the dead of winter, I got caught in a blizzard for 2 states. Speed was down to about 50mph and I had the heat and defrost on full. Unknown to me the thermostat had closed since I was drawing all the heat out of the engine for heating the interior. Snow filled the front end from the grill right up to the block, which massed into a solid block. I stopped for gas and opened the hood and freaked out. I prayed I didn't do something that caused the electric fans to come on and burn up so I made sure defrost was not used, which might start the fans for the a/c portion of that feature. By the next morning , through the storm and sunny weather right around the freezing point, I stopped for breakfast in St. Louis, and left it running and slowly that massive block of now solid ice began to melt off. By the time I got home it was all but gone. I was really worried that the expansion of the ice would rupture the radiator of a/c condenser. It didn't. I drove this car for 5 years and 111K miles until an idiot hit us from behind and totalled it. I bought a 1992 SE model coupe, not as practical, but still running as we speak, though I sold it to a friend who was in need of cheap transportation, but I miss it all the time. You can't buy good utilitarian vehicles anymore. Even the Hyundai Elantra, arguably in the same class as the Nissan Sentra, no longer is sold with a manual transmission, the very foundation of utility, longevity and very low service requirements and cost. Yes, I miss the older cars for sure. That being said, I love my Genesis but it's anything but cheap and economical.
You can still buy Japanese cars like that in Japan,here is America they have been regulated out of production. You can even buy a new car in Japan without airbags,you know for the people that actually know how to drive.
@@GunRunner3 What makes you think that? Or you just enjoy insulting people gratuitously? I DO have a separate comment on here speaking about communism and the Cold War. If you knew all about my whole life, then you would have known that.
@@mokeimusic Yeah, I lived in Japan for about 3 years, 2003 to 2006. I had a Suzuki Alto that looked like a 3/4 scale version of a Volkswagen Rabbit from the early 1980's. It was one of those 660cc Kei cars, with a 3 cylinder engine and an old bottle-shaped spark coil like American cars had in the 1960's. You mostly never go faster than 40 mph in Japan, except on major expressways, but the roads are narrow and twisty with inadequate guard rails and big square concrete blocks or buttresses IMMEDIATELY next to the driving lane. It's uncanny... you'd absolutely swear 40 mph was at least 60 mph. Unlike American roads, they do not have any standard about how wide a certain type of road should be. One minute it is wide with two lanes marked, next thing you know it is barely one lane as it squeezes between buildings or past large rocks. I think it was my 8th try when I finally passed the driving test. Anyway, you are right it is partly regulations demanding heavy/costly safety (and environmental) equipment, but also most Americans want power windows, automatic transmissions, gadgets up the wazoo, and way more horsepower than necessary. My brother bought a new Ford Taurus SHO when they came out in 1989; at the time it was absolutely revolutionary with 220 horsepower in a family sedan, and made the covers of all the automobile enthusiast magazines. People did not think you could even put 220 hp in a front wheel drive car before that. Today 220 horsepower is a joke... even my 16 year old family minivan has 230.
This is exactly the sort of metric that will start with the US at the top with a yawning gap over everyone else, and finish with China at the top with a yawning gap over everyone else.
China of 2021: Hey guys, come and play a game of development. Let' s compete who is more rich and safe and sound. US: What does safe mean? India: what does rich mean?
Country of production as in where the final assembly line is located. Final assembly is strategically located where the world wide demand can be fulfilled. This chart has more to do with Geographical location of the countries rather than the actual demand in their respective countries.
A lot of China's production is tied to exports, but for China's automobile industry, it is almost all domestic production. The same applied to the USA for the past 80 years or so. The average Chinese citizen has never had enough for a car until around 2000+, so it's natural they'd lead the world in producing them for their own MASSIVE population. Japan and South Korea as well as Germany and Sweden do a lot more exports. I'd love to see a video on automobile exports by country.
@@Jabber-ig3iw Sure I can, the Mexican automotive industry is huge. The biggest and most well known is DINA S.A. which makes tens of thousands of trucks and buses for public transit all over Latin American countries.
Yet Chinese car manufacturers are still struggling to meet domestic demand. for 15 years, For many brand, you have to pay $5k extra on top of the car cost to actually get one.
I’ve never seen this style of visualization before with a gauge indicator for year progression. Very nice. This visualization would also benefit from a gauge or graph inset that showed how the sum changes over time. With bar length being normalized according to the max bar, we’re missing context for the magnitude of total change as a whole throughout the years.
Sum irrelevant here, this a brilliant (dynamic) depiction of relative manufacturing might. Sum would be interesting if time from the inception of the car to view modal shift by plotting sum of passenger miles traveled car v. horse v. train v. plane. FOCUSED info-graphics convey a clearer, more impactful message.
@leonardimas1 Guessing (by example) a Japanese-owned company - Honda, assembled in the US with 90% of its parts made in Mexico & Asia Is likely counted as made in the US.
China has a large population that is pretty much it. Not many Chinese cars out of China. China is not very good at technological breakthrough they just copy everything.
You should've did a Total based on the companies and their native county. I.e combined all Toyota sales from all countries they are produced, and add it to Japan's amount
Very nice animation showing the changing world of car production. In the 60’s and early 70’s most “foreign cars” in the U.S. were British, VW’s, some Mercedes and Opels, and a smaller amount of French and Italian cars. Your animation clearly showing the demise of the British car industry as well as the explosion of Japanese and German car production
@@hifijohn , I had a ‘72 TR6, from ‘74-‘78. It was fairly reliable but did have some issues. I worked at a dealership that sold Volvos and BLM MG’s, Triumphs, Jaguars and a few Rovers. Many parts had to be replaced every 2,3 or 4 years. We sold every MG and Triumph we could get. If BLM had improved quality, both manufacturing and design, as well as modernized everything . . . well I guess I’m dreaming

These are where cars are finally assembled. Most cars are produced internationally with parts, technology and design coming from multiple countries. Also, if you look at car production by value you will get a very different bar chart.
Would be interesting to compare the production side with the companys sides. You know if a country implements rules that a decent bunch of the production work as to be made in the country it will cause a shift in production places.
