Quarterly data on vehicle registration by fuel type, vehicle type and number of vehicles, Canada, the provinces, census metropolitan areas and census sub-divisions.

The U.S. auto industry sold nearly ************* cars in 2024. That year, total car and light truck sales were approximately ************ in the United States. U.S. vehicle sales peaked in 2016 at roughly ************ units. Pandemic impact The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted the U.S. automotive market, accelerating the global automotive semiconductor shortage and leading to a drop in demand during the first months of 2020. However, as demand rebounded, new vehicle supply could not keep up with the market. U.S. inventory-to-sales ratio dropped to its lowest point in February 2022, as Russia's war on Ukraine lead to gasoline price hikes. During that same period, inflation also impacted new and used car prices, pricing many U.S. consumers out of a market with increasingly lower car stocks. Focus on fuel economy The U.S. auto industry had one of its worst years in 1982 when customers were beginning to feel the effects of the 1973 oil crisis and the energy crisis of 1979. Since light trucks would often be considered less fuel-efficient, cars accounted for about ** percent of light vehicle sales back then. Thanks to improved fuel economy for light trucks and cheaper gas prices, this picture had completely changed in 2020. That year, prices for Brent oil dropped to just over ** U.S. dollars per barrel. The decline occurred in tandem with lower gasoline prices, which came to about **** U.S. dollars per gallon in 2020 - and cars only accounted for less than one-fourth of light vehicle sales that year. Four years on, prices are dropping again, after being the highest on record since 1990 in 2022.

The projected change in the market share of compact cars in total light-duty vehicle sales, from the model year 1990 to 2010 based on the business-as-usual scenario is shown on this map. This scenario assumes that there are no major policy changes during the 1990 to 2010 period, which would affect vehicle preferences. Light-duty vehicles include all cars and light trucks. The projection shows that, between the model years 1990 and 2010, the market share of compact cars in Canada would decrease from 27% to 20%, specifically, areas in the Atlantic Provinces and Quebec. There are also significant proportional reductions of market share in some areas of Alberta and British Columbia.

The projected change in the market share of midsize cars in total light-duty vehicle sales, from the model year 1990 to 2010 based on the business-as-usual scenario is shown on this map. This scenario assumes that there are no major policy changes during the 1990 to 2010 period, which would affect vehicle preferences. Light-duty vehicles include all cars and light trucks. It is projected that there would be no significant increase in the market share of midsize cars over the 1990 to 2010 period for Canada as a whole (16.5% in 1990 and 17.0% in 2010). In general, this car type's market share would increase significantly in most urban areas but decrease considerably in rural areas.

The iMHZEV Program offers Canadian organizations (for profit and non-profit), as well as provincial, territorial, municipal and Indigenous governments incentives towards the purchase/lease of eligible medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles (MHZEVs). To encourage Canadian organizations to adopt MHZEVs, the Government of Canada launched the Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (iMHZEV) Program on July 11, 2022. There are many different makes, models and vehicle classes of eligible zero-emission vehicles for purchase or lease. The iMHZEV Program’s incentives provide up to $200,000 per vehicle to a maximum of ten incentives per calendar year or $1 million in incentives per recipient, per calendar year (whichever is reached first). Only the vehicles listed on the iMHZEV Program's list of eligible vehicles are eligible for an incentive at the point-of-sale when purchased/leased and delivered on or after the vehicle’s respective eligibility date. Program Statistics: The Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (iMHZEV) Program database contains up-to-date information on the number of incentives offered and the total dollar values of these incentives since the start of the iMHZEV Program on July 11, 2022.
