New light-vehicle sales for Australia from VFACTS, with a curated historical series.
Australia's monthly figures come from VFACTS, the industry sales report administered by the FCAI (Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries), with a longer historical series curated by Prof. Ray Willis. Entered by hand.
Go and check the numbers yourself:
| Acquisition | Manual — entered by hand from the published source |
|---|---|
| Vehicle scope | New light vehicles as counted by VFACTS — passenger cars, SUVs and light commercials. These are sales/deliveries reported by participating brands, not registrations. |
| HEV (full hybrids) | split into its own column |
Each variant is its own series with its own CSV. Not every variant is charted in the gallery — the CSV is the authoritative record either way.
| Variant | What it counts | Held | Raw data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole | New light-vehicle sales as reported by VFACTS — deliveries, not registrations. | 2015-06 – 2026-07 78 rows | data/Australia.csv |
Every bar is the span actually present in our stored CSV — breaks in a bar are real gaps in the series, not rendering. Cadence is shown on the right.
Whole 2015-06–2026-07 (78 rows). Some rows additionally carry a time_interval of yearly; the cadence shown is the spacing the periods actually have.
A blank column almost never means "no such cars" — it means this source does not split them out, and those vehicles are counted inside another column. Check the caveats for where they land.
| BEV | PHEV | HEV | PETROL | DIESEL | OTHERS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whole | reported | reported | reported | reported | reported | always zero |
