Accelerating the Growth of the U.S. Automotive Manufacturing Industry at Home, Rather than Abroad

Full Description:

This CAR research initiative examines the critical success factors necessary for continued global automotive investment growth within the southern U.S. automotive manufacturing region. The states funding the effort include Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee, which are referred to in this study as the Southern Automotive Research Alliance (SARA). Through the support of key automotive states and regional interests, this study seeks to address the common challenges and indentify actionable recommendations aimed at supporting states as they strategize collaborative efforts to attract new automotive investment and create more automotive employment in the United States, and particularly in the Southeast region.
