Automotive

The automotive industry is currently structured into major groups of final assemblers who use parts coming from a large number of suppliers and sub-contractors. Generally the heaviest industrial activities such as bodywork and the manufacture of motors are maintained as internal activities. The global production in 2010 reached 60 million private cars.
