How do I find auto industry specifications and statistics?
Answer
The US DOT does not maintain vehicle specifications or auto industry sales data.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does provide safety ratings on vehicles, recall information and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (49 CFR 571).
Non-DOT Sources for Vehicle Statistics
(PLEASE NOTE: These private-sector sites and/or companies are not necessarily recommended, maintained, or endorsed by the DOT or any US Government office. We offer these suggestions strictly as a convenience, should you be interested in exploring their services.)
