That 15% is in the USA, a country that has largely shipped it's manufacturing overseas.
Globally it's estimated to be a smaller percentage overall, although it does seem that it still is closer to 10% according to this: https://www.iea.org/energy-system/transport/cars-and-vans https://www.iea.org/energy-system/transport/cars-and-vans
