Body/Fuel Type Demand
One of the most important reports in the game is the Body/Fuel Type Demand report. This report contains the popularity of vehicle types and fuel types. You should periodically check this report to see if a vehicle type you're looking to design is popular enough to sell.
The first column of the table shows the vehicle type (#1), and the remaining columns (#2) are the regions of the map.
Each vehicle type has a value for each region (#3). The numbers represent the raw popularity of the vehicle type. The numbers for all vehicles types in a column should add up to 100%. The words in the cell denote how popular this vehicle type is when compared to the other types. Finally, the arrow signifies if the vehicle type is gaining or shrinking in popularity.
Remember, you can sort the table by clicking the column headers.
Fuel Demand
The Fuel Type Popularity table is at the bottom of the Body/Fuel Type Demand report. This table is important to look at when choosing which type of fuel you want your designs to use.
The type of fuel is listed in the first column (#1), followed by how popular it is (#2), and the fuel type's market share (#3).
Each entry displays a raw percentage value (#4) which signifies the percentage of the population interested in that fuel type. The table also includes a text indicator to compare how popular this fuel type is against its peers. And finally, the entry includes an arrow to show if the popularity is going up or down.
Both the body and the fuel type popularities change based on historical trends and player interaction. You and AI manufacturers can greatly alter history by increasing the market share of body and fuel types.
For example, if 4% of all vehicles sold in the game world are Diesel, and Diesel’s popularity value is 2%, the popularity value of Diesel will increase at a faster rate, thus increasing sales of Diesel designs.
