Truck statistics were calculated in different ways during the way, making it impossible to create one table that covers the entire period. Instead, the production statistics have been divided into sections, which reflects the changing methodology.

The numbers below only include wheeled trucks, and not tracked trucks such as the Maultier and RSO.
