  • Toyota Motor Corporation: Generations Toyota numbers explicitly (初代 / Nth generation) and series Toyota names (20系), with the introduction year Toyota gives, paired across the Japanese and English gallery. Releases without an ordinal or series are not generations. No end years, chassis codes or specifications inferred. Source.
  • RDW (Netherlands vehicle authority): Marques and commercial names of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles registered in the Netherlands, with vehicle counts and earliest/latest first-admission dates. Grouped counts only, no individual vehicles. A first-admission date is not a production date; no generations, chassis or specifications inferred. Source.
  • Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency: Makes and models of passenger cars and light goods vehicles on New Zealand's Motor Vehicle Register, with vehicle counts and the earliest and latest vehicle year. Server-side grouped statistics only; no registration numbers, VINs, engine numbers or locations are read. A vehicle year is register evidence, not a model year or production period; no generations or chassis inferred. Source.
  • Department for Transport and DVLA (United Kingdom): Makes and DVLA generic models of cars and light goods vehicles licensed or SORN in the United Kingdom since 2014, with vehicle counts and the span of recorded year of manufacture (DVLA's 1900 placeholder ignored). Year first used (registration) is not mixed in. Not a production period; no generations or chassis inferred. Source.
