Until 2005, the U.S.A. was leading the world in total automobile production. In 1929 before the Great
Depression, the world had 32,028,500 automobiles in use, and the US automobile industry produced over 90%
of the automobiles in the world, ie 28,551,500. And over one half the cars in foreign lands were of U.S. make.
At that time the U.S. had one car per 4.87 persons.[2]
In 2006, Japan narrowly passed the U.S. in production
and held this rank until 2008. In 2009, China took the top spot with 13.78 million units produced. With 18.3
million units produced 2010, China produced nearly twice the amount of second place Japan (9.6 million units),
the U.S. trailed in place 3 with 7.8 million units.[3]
