Supply Chains & Trade

Securing Supply Chains and Using the Power of Trade to Unlock Growth
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. Partnering with our close allies will help keep American automotive manufacturing globally competitive.

In 2023, international automakers:

$24B
Were responsible for $24 billion in vehicle exports
762K
Exported 762,000 U.S. built vehicles to more than 130 countries and territories
900K
Supported nearly 900,000 American jobs through trade and exports across all manufacturing states
At a time when affordability is front and center for all Americans, Autos Drive America supports policies to help reduce the price of vehicles, parts, and raw materials, promoting the competitiveness of the U.S. auto industry and providing consumers with more vehicle choices and price points.
Autos Drive America also supports deepening American ties with allied nations to minimize the risk of supply chain disruptions and ensure a steady stream of components that will encourage investment and job creation in the U.S. Allied supply chains also reduce over-reliance on single-source suppliers, decreasing the impact of natural disasters, pandemics, or economic instability in one region.
