Aggregated locally from registration-level files; owner fields are never read and no record-level data is kept. Model years are register evidence, not production periods; no generations or chassis inferred. Source.
  • Natural Resources Canada: Canadian model-year and configuration listings, including electrified vehicles. Only verified base-nameplate matches are published; unresolved trim strings are held. Not proof of a generation, chassis or production period. Source.
  • SAMR, State Administration for Market Regulation (国家市场监督管理总局), Defective Product Administrative Center: Models named in China's defective-vehicle recall announcements since 2018, with the production years of the recalled vehicles and the number of vehicles recalled. Years are recall scope, not production periods; recalls cover vehicles sold in China (domestic and imported). Chinese model names are published only through a reviewed English name; no generations or chassis inferred. Source.
  • 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.
  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy (fueleconomy.gov): Vehicles tested for US fuel-economy labels since model year 1984. Establishes the marque, nameplate, US model year and each tested engine/transmission/drive configuration; not a generation, chassis code or service specification. Fuel-economy values are not copied. Source.
  • U.S. Department of Transportation, NHTSA: Make and model names that manufacturers registered with NHTSA by model year and vehicle type. A listing establishes the nameplate and a model-year registration only; it is not a generation, chassis code or specification, and not proof the vehicle was sold in the US that year. Source.
