Global Production Situation (PC+UV) in 2016 including Chinese Carmakers
- The usual classification of world automotive production by manufacturer incorporates the production of Chinese manufacturers making cars for foreign manufacturers in the production of those foreign manufacturers. This ranking shows Volkswagen Group asthe world's leading manufacturer in 2016, ahead of Toyota, General Motors, Renault-Nissan and Hyundai-Kia.
- Inovev has compiled a different ranking that integrates the production of Chinese car manufacturers for foreign manufacturers in the production of those Chinese manufacturers. This ranking shows 5 Chinese manufacturers in the top 15 global manufacturers (including SAIC in 6th position with 5.6 million vehicles produced, Dongfeng in 10th position with 3.3 million vehicles produced ,and FAW in 11th place with 2.8 million vehicles produced) and especially that the world's largest carmaker is the Toyota group (9 million units), ahead of Renault-Nissan (8.4 million), VW (6.4 million) , Hyundai-Kia (6.2 million) and GM (5.9 million).
- International manufacturers that achieve a significant volume of production in China (through JVs) are , of course, disadvantaged in this ranking. This is how VW and GM each lose two places globally in this ranking. FCA and Suzuki on the other hand are not affected because they produce very little in China.
