-An offline, international vehicle make/model catalog for Node.js and TypeScript. The package combines U.S. model-year data, the UK registered fleet, the European Union's new car and van registration register, the daily-updated Dutch vehicle register, Asian-origin vehicles registered in New Zealand, Malaysian registration transactions, an Indian manufacturer catalog, the Brazil-exclusive Hyundai HB20 family, recent U.S. model configurations from FuelEconomy.gov, and reviewed manufacturer body derivatives and Saudi model-year evidence into one small, zero-dependency API. It never makes runtime network requests.

-The current snapshot spans **1990–2027** and includes **1,595 makes** and **41,838 models** in **194,288 model years**, from **11 data sources**. Those are distinct vehicles by name, with case, accents and punctuation ignored, which is how the [Car Image API](https://carimage.dev/cars?ref=catalog) counts and lists them. The package's own records number more (1,607 makes from `getMakes()`), because sources spell some makes and models more than one way (`MOTO GUZZI` and `MOTO-GUZZI`) and a few makes have no model in these years; see [Snapshot stats](#snapshot-stats).
+The current snapshot spans **1990–2027** and includes **1,601 makes** and **42,002 models** in **196,364 model years**, from **13 data sources**.

-The catalog covers seven vehicle types: **Motorcycle**, **Passenger Car**, **Truck**, **Bus**, **Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle (MPV)**, **Auto Rickshaw**, and **Other Vehicle**. The European source adds continental models from Dacia, Cupra, DS, Lynk & Co, Alpine, and the Chinese brands entering Europe such as BYD, MG, Omoda, Xpeng, and Nio, as sold in the EU rather than the UK or U.S. The Dutch register keeps that coverage current: vehicles first registered this year appear within days, so 2026 models such as the BYD Atto 2 and Renault 5 E-Tech are already listed. The Asia-Pacific sources add Japanese domestic and kei models, Chinese EVs, Indian and Korean vehicles, Southeast Asian makes such as Perodua and Proton, and additional motorcycles and commercial vehicles.

-Year means the source’s model year for NHTSA, year of manufacture for DfT/DVLA (falling back to year of first use when manufacture year is unavailable), catalog year for Atul Auto, vehicle year for NZTA, registration year for Malaysia JPJ, the reporting (registration) year for the EEA register, the year of first admission (first registration anywhere, so imported used vehicles keep their original year) for the Dutch RDW register, the Brazilian model year (ano/modelo) for the Hyundai Motor Brasil line-up, and the U.S. model year for FuelEconomy.gov. From 2007 onward, NZTA vehicle year means the year of first registration in New Zealand or overseas.

+SENATRAN source attribution: Registro Nacional de Veículos Automotores (RENAVAM), Secretaria Nacional de Trânsito (SENATRAN), Ministério dos Transportes, published as public domain open data. The monthly fleet file counts the vehicles registered in each municipality by make/model and year of manufacture. RENAVAM records make and model as one abbreviated, often trim-level string (`CHEV/ONIX 10MT LT2`, `I/TOYOTA HILUX CDSRXA4FD`) and no vehicle type, so the importer adds the counts up nationally and maps the strings to model families and vehicle types with the reviewed table in `scripts/senatran-br-models.ts`, which covers about 91% of the vehicles manufactured since 1990. Unmapped strings are dropped rather than guessed, including heavy trucks, bus bodies, and trailers; the importer logs the largest unmapped families so the table can grow. A make/model/year needs at least ten registered vehicles.

The register only contains vehicles currently licensed in the Netherlands, is republished daily, and is the freshest European source in the catalog.

+## Dated manufacturer catalogs

+The reviewed manufacturer sources now include focused US, Indian and Vietnamese additions. `manufacturer-reviewed` carries explicit model-year evidence; `manufacturer-reviewed-catalog` uses **catalog years**: a model was marketed during a specific year documented by a dated sales offer, sales bulletin or manufacturer catalog. These calendar years are not model years or years of manufacture. `getDataSources().yearBasis` identifies these reviewed sources; the per-row market and rationale remain in `data/evidence/manufacturer-reviewed.json`.

 ## Factory colors
 
 Factory paint availability is not included. The NZTA and Malaysia records contain the observed basic color of each registered vehicle, not the manufacturer’s stock colors for a make/model/year. Treating those fields as factory availability would produce false positives from repaints, imports, and broad color categories, so the importers intentionally omit them. A future color API should require manufacturer-backed paint options with explicit market and model-year provenance.

 **A refresh only adds.** Registers drop scrapped vehicles, count thresholds move between releases, and manufacturers re-file model years in vPIC (the 2026 Maserati MC20 became the MCPura in September 2026), but an application may already store a year/make/model this package published. Every importer therefore keeps the entries its previous snapshot published and the source no longer reports, and logs how many it kept; pass `--prune` to drop them deliberately, for example to remove a source error. Model-year sources run a year ahead of the calendar, so the NHTSA and NZTA importers default to ending next year; registration sources end with the current year.
 
-The NHTSA API rate-limits aggressively: past a few requests a second its CDN answers HTTP 403 to every request from the address for an hour or more. The importer spaces requests (`--concurrency 2`, `--interval-ms 500` by default), stops at the first sustained 403 instead of retrying into the block, and with `--cache-dir` keeps every answer it already received, so rerunning the same command later resumes where it stopped. A full NHTSA refresh can take hours; to refresh recent model years, fetch only those years and merge them into the existing snapshot with `--merge`, as above. The UK importer downloads the two official VEH0124 CSV files. The NZTA importer discovers the current official ArcGIS service and requests distinct records for supported vehicle types and Asian countries of origin. The Malaysia importer downloads annual JPJ CSVs and aggregates individual transactions into unique model/registration-year records. The EEA importer discovers the current final and provisional register tables from the EEA DiscoData catalogue and asks its public SQL endpoint for make/commercial-name counts grouped by reporting country and year, so it never downloads the individual registration records; `--min-countries` and `--min-count` tune the noise filter. The RDW importer asks the Socrata API for make/commercial-name counts per year of first admission, one request per year, so a refresh takes about ten minutes and can be run any day to pick up the latest registrations. Importers assign deterministic numeric IDs, write normalized snapshots, and discard temporary raw downloads.
