Section 4 Disposition versions

2023-10-05

4. Motor vehicle manufacturers are classified according to the following categories:

(1)  “large volume manufacturer” includes motor vehicle manufacturers whose average sales and leases of new motor vehicles, for the model year for which a classification is established, is greater than 20,000;

(2)  “intermediate volume manufacturer” includes motor vehicle manufacturers whose average sales and leases of new motor vehicles, for the model year for which a classification is established, is between 4,501 and 20,000;

(3)  “small volume manufacturer” includes motor vehicle manufacturers whose average sales and leases of new motor vehicles, for the model year for which a classification is established, is equal to or less than 4,500.

For the purpose of classifying a motor vehicle manufacturer, the average of its sales and leases of new motor vehicles for a particular model year is obtained by adding the number of new motor vehicles sold or leased by the manufacturer for each of the 3 consecutive model years whose last model year immediately precedes the model year for which a classification is established, and by dividing the total by 3.

The data used to calculate the average used to classify a motor vehicle manufacturer are those registered in its name in the register kept under section 11 of the Act.

As of the 2025 model year, intermediate volume manufacturers are considered to be large volume manufacturers and no reclassification between the 2 categories is possible.
