 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, Brazil's national vehicle register, 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 **1,608 makes** and **42,294 models** in **196,745 model years**, from **23 data sources**. Those are distinct vehicles by name, with case, accents and punctuation normalized while preserving the distinct 03+ badge, which is how the [Car Image API](https://carimage.dev/cars?ref=catalog) counts and lists them. The package's own records number more (1,620 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 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. The Brazilian register adds the cars and motorcycles that fill Brazil's roads but are rarely sold elsewhere, such as the Fiat Argo, Mobi and Toro, the Volkswagen Gol and Saveiro, the Renault Kwid, and the Honda Biz and Pop.

 This catalog is the backbone of the [Car Image API](https://carimage.dev?ref=catalog) — an AI-native API that renders studio-quality, transparent-background images of every vehicle listed here (eight camera views, any paint color, PNG/WebP/JPG up to 1024 px, 1 credit per image with 100 free credits to start; see [pricing](https://carimage.dev/pricing?ref=catalog)). Explore the data in the [interactive playground](https://carimage.dev/playground?ref=catalog) or browse every make and model at [carimage.dev/cars](https://carimage.dev/cars?ref=catalog).
 
+**Need to know where your vehicles operate?** [Geocode AI](https://geocodeai.dev/?ref=catalog) is the boundary API from the same team: get the polygon of any country, state, county, city, district or postcode by name or point, test whether a vehicle's location falls inside a service area, or describe a zone in plain language ("the nine Bay Area counties except San Jose") and get one validated polygon back, for fleet territories, pricing and fare zones, dispatch regions and geofences. REST, MCP and CLI; see [the docs](https://geocodeai.dev/docs?ref=catalog).

 **Missing a vehicle?** Add its source-backed identity here; downstream image support and asset sharing are validated separately — see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
