Supply Chains & Trade
Autos Drive America believes in the power of trade policy to unlock growth and innovation. Advancing new trade agreements with key international allies and partners including the United Kingdom, Japan, the European Union, and African nations would help to reduce barriers to U.S. exports, spur investment into U.S. industries and jobs, secure our supply chains and harmonize standards.
United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA)
The USMCA has strengthened the foundation for North American trade by promoting regulatory certainty, deeper supply chain integration, and sustained regional economic growth.
Pro-Growth Tax Policies
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) has been a key driver for the U.S. automotive industry to secure new investments toward U.S. manufacturing and create additional jobs for hardworking Americans to support their families. Critical provisions of the 2017 tax law have already sunset with more set to expire at the end of 2025, driving up costs and imposing a tremendous tax burden on original equipment manufacturers.
Supporting America's Workforce
Autos Drive America is committed to giving international automakers’ workers the tools and skills needed to advance their careers while helping to solidify the U.S. auto industry’s competitive edge on the global stage.
Encouraging Innovation
The U.S. auto industry is at the forefront of innovation, vehicle safety and the transition to electrification and is currently undergoing its most dramatic shift since the introduction of the Model-T. Congress has an incredible opportunity to solidify the United States’ position as the industry’s global leader and allow the U.S. to leapfrog our global competitors, particularly China.
U.S. Infrastructure
U.S. auto manufacturers rely on the U.S. infrastructure system to keep the automotive manufacturing supply chain running smoothly. Without investment in the maintenance of our nation’s roads, bridges, rail systems and waterways, the industry is at risk of facing decreased productivity, hindering its competitiveness on the global stage.
