Passenger vehicles in the United States
''Note: this article adopts the U.S. Department of Transportation's definition of a ''passenger vehicle'', to mean a car or truck, used for passengers, excluding buses and trains.''
The United States is home to the largest passenger vehicle market of any country in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Federal Highway Administration, numbers of drivers and motor vehicles since 1960 )〕 Overall, there were an estimated 254.4 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States according to a 2007 DOT study.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bureau of Transportation, number of vehicles and vehicle classification )〕 This number, along with the average age of vehicles, has increased steadily since 1960, indicating a growing number of vehicles per capita.
The United States is also home to three large vehicle manufacturers: General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Chrysler, which have historically been referred to as the "Big Three." Chrysler, known as (FCA US LLC ) since December 15, 2014, however is no longer among the top three; but is number five, behind Toyota and Honda. The motor car has clearly become an integral part of American life, with vehicles outnumbering licensed drivers.〔
==Statistics==
The United States Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration as well as the National Automobile Dealers Association have published data in regard to the total number of vehicles, growth trends, and ratios between licensed drivers, the general population, and the increasing number of vehicles on American roads. Overall passenger vehicles have been outnumbering licensed drivers since 1972 at an ever increasing rate, while light trucks and vehicles manufactured by foreign marques have gained a larger share of the automotive market in the United States. In 2001, 70% of Americans drove to work in cars.〔(Highlights of the 2001 National Household Travel Survey ), Bureau of Transportation Statistics, U.S. Department of Transportation, accessed May 21, 2006〕 New York City is the only locality in the country where more than half of all households do not own a car (the figure is even higher in Manhattan, over 75%; nationally, the rate is 8%).〔
