There was quite a bit of reshuffling of the automotive deck, reflective of the changes affecting that market.

DaimlerChrysler and Toyota Motor moved ahead of Ford, pushing it down two notches. Although DaimlerChrysler’s profits increased sixfold, to $3.1 billion, Toyota earned $10.9 billion: more than GM, Ford, and DaimlerChrysler combined.

Nissan is coming on very strong, with the largest percentage change in revenue among the G500 automakers, and jumped up four positions.

Other Japanese carmakers did not fare as well: Honda,Mazda, Mitsubishi, Isuzu and Fuji Heavy (Subaru) all saw their positions drop.

In fact, the new entry to the G500 automaker list—China’s FAW—came in above Fuji Heavy.

Chinese companies overall increased their presence on the Global 500, climbing to a total of 16 this year from 15 last year, and up from just three in 1995.
