A total of 1,620,186 Model T Trucks were built in the US, 11% of all Model T production. In 1927 truck production represented 18.6% of all Model Ts built in the US in the final year. In Manchester, England, a total of approximately 295,000 model T vehicles were produced between about December 1911 and August 1927 of which only approximately 37% were cars and 8% car chassis.
Before the era of the Model T, gasoline-fueled vehicles had stiff competition from steam-driven and electric cars. In fact, of the 4,200 cars built in the United States in 1900, only one-fourth employed internal combustion engines. And of the approximately 8,000 automobiles on the road, most were steam-driven. Steam had been used as early as 1769 to power a road vehicle.
