Americans are driving fewer passenger cars than we did in the early 1970s

A freshly published S&P Global Mobility analysis explains the phenomenon.

The article from MotorBiscuit discusses a significant shift in American vehicle preferences since the 1970s, highlighting that Americans are now driving fewer passenger cars than they did during that decade. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the number of passenger cars per 1,000 people has decreased from 560 in 1970 to about 380 in recent years. This decline is attributed to a rise in the popularity of light trucks, which include SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks. These vehicles now account for over 70% of new vehicle sales, driven by consumer demand for larger, more versatile vehicles that can accommodate families and offer enhanced safety features. The article also notes that this trend has implications for fuel efficiency and environmental impact, as light trucks generally consume more fuel than passenger cars.
