The crucial role of automotive suppliers in the mobility transition
Every vehicle on our roads is a testament to the leading-edge parts, components and systems produced, designed and manufactured by automotive suppliers. Their specific products and services sustain 1.7 million direct jobs across the EU and cement the sector’s technological leadership through an annual investment of €30 billion in research and development. Ranking as the top private R&D investor in Europe, automotive suppliers register approximately 39,000 patents each year, driving ambition to action in European mobility.

Despite the industry’s rapid technological advancements, the transition towards digital and climate-neutral road transport remains extremely complex with numerous challenges ahead. The future of mobility hinges on our collective ability to adapt to new regulations, embracing innovate technologies, and maintaining competitiveness through coordinated efforts and a shared vision. The future of inclusive mobility depends on our collective ability to navigate these complexities and create a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
