Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers
NACE v2.1 Code: C29
About manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers
NACE code 29 covers the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the global economy. This sector is responsible for producing the cars, trucks, and other vehicles that transport people and goods worldwide, supporting a wide range of economic activities. As a major employer and contributor to GDP, the motor vehicle industry is a significant driver of economic growth and development.
Production process
The manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers involves a complex and highly automated production process. Key steps include the stamping of metal body parts, the assembly of the chassis and powertrain, the installation of electrical and electronic components, and the final assembly and testing of the complete vehicle. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as robotics and computer-aided design (CAD), are extensively used to ensure efficiency, quality, and precision throughout the production cycle.
Production inputs
The motor vehicle industry requires a wide range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics, as well as various electronic components, engines, and other specialized parts. Manufacturers also rely on sophisticated machinery, tools, and equipment to facilitate the production process. Additionally, the industry depends on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and assembly line workers, to design, build, and assemble the final products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of NACE code 29 are the various types of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers, which are then consumed by other industries and end-users. These include 45 Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, 49 Land transport and transport via pipelines, and 52 Warehousing and support activities for transportation, among others. The motor vehicles produced in this industry are essential for the transportation of both people and goods, supporting a wide range of economic activities.
