Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Toyota Hiace nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is buses and coaches only.

By year

All 528 surviving Toyota Hiace buses and coaches, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 449 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 53.8% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
