Communications
OICA communications fall under the direct responsibility of the OICA presidency, with the help of the OICA secretariat. They aim at relaying to the press, media, policy makers, non-governmental organisations, etc input from global automotive industry experts on a variety of general issues affecting the global automobile industry. These issues may take on a variety of subjects affecting the global industry in general. OICA communications also aim at being as objective as possible and based on well-established facts gathered from a variety of sources. OICA members subsequently are invited to base their own communications on the OICA input and/or positions, if any, on that particular subject.
Statistics
Since 1994, OICA compiles worldwide data on automobile production, sales, registrations, trade, and other industry activities. Also data on vehicle fleets, in terms of number of vehicles on the road, are published regularly (though not on an annual basis). These data are compiled under the leadership of experts at the French association CCFA and are based on a variety of sources, including data from OICA members and vehicle manufacturers directly whenever possible; thanks to multiple cross-checking processes (including retro-active corrections), the OICA statistical data on production, sales and fleets offer a high accuracy. The OICA secretariat does not have any additional data compared to those published on the OICA web site.
