Method & notes
Registration transactions give a consistent long-run view of which makers are actually being registered for Malaysian roads, while still requiring care not to call registrations 'sales'.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita streams JPJ's annual car-registration transaction files, counts each transaction once by maker and year, then keeps compact maker rankings for storytelling.
- Registration transactions are not the same as vehicle sales. State refers to registration office/partner, not number-plate origin.
- The latest calendar year can be partial.
- Maker labels are normalized to uppercase to reduce source-case duplicates.
