Study Makes Recommendations for Transforming the U.S. OE Automotive Industry

The key message from an in-depth Arthur D. Little (ADL) landmark study, carried out in conjunction with MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers, titled Turbocharging U.S. Automotive Manufacturing Competitiveness:

Building resilience and driving reshoring requires concerted actions from policymakers, original equipment manufacturers and suppliers.

The study draws on research from more than 100 global OE automotive suppliers with major U.S. presence and more than 30 interviews with C-suite executives of leading global OE automotive suppliers. Based on ADL analysis, the research provides clear recommendations for transforming the industry to strengthen supply chain resilience and underpin national competitiveness and global relevance.

The report analyzes critical gaps that remain across all major groups of auto parts and systems: body and chassis, EV batteries and motors, ICE engines and transmissions, interior and plastics, tires and rubber and electrics and electronics. It also examines how these groups are shaped by four key factors: labor, automation, supply chain and regulation/policy.
