How this service works
List the vehicle makes NHTSA records for a vehicle type (car, truck, motorcycle, bus, trailer), with an optional name filter.
Output
Returns a structured object containing the vehicle type name, a list of make names and their NHTSA make IDs, total count of matching makes, how many are shown, the source URL, an as-of timestamp, and optional degraded-service or disclaimer flags.
Example use cases
Filtering car brands for a dropdown
“I'm building a vehicle form — can you pull all car makes from NHTSA so I can populate a dropdown list? Give me up to 100.”
Validating a truck manufacturer name
“I need to check whether 'Kenworth' shows up as a recognized truck make in the NHTSA database — can you look that up with a name filter?”
Exploring registered bus manufacturers
“What bus makes does NHTSA have on record? Just show me the first 25.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://vehicle-vin.x402tookit.com/makes-by-type?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate or validate vehicle makes by category (car, truck, motorcycle, bus, trailer) according to official NHTSA records, especially when building dropdowns, validating user input, or enriching vehicle data pipelines. Prefer it over generic web search when you need structured, authoritative make IDs and names tied to NHTSA's vPIC system.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid 'type' query parameter returns an error — 'type' is required
- Invalid vehicle type string (e.g. typo like 'carr') may return an empty makes list
- Limit outside 1-100 range may be rejected or clamped
- NHTSA upstream outage may cause degraded or empty response with degraded=true flag
- Name filter with no matches returns an empty makes array with matching=0
