Big Three automobile manufacturers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Big Three automobile manufactures may refer to:

  • The three major American (USA) automakers: Ford, General Motors, and the ex Chrysler Corporation operations of DaimlerChrysler.
    • (A number of European and Asian companies also have manufacturing operations in the USA, either solely owned and operated or as or joint ventures with one of the above.)
  • The three major Japanese automakers: Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.
    • Japanese exporting manufactures below these but with significant design, technical, production capability, and market share are Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Isuzu (making light and medium trucks) and Suzuki (making light SUVs).
