Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers

NACE v2.0 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 pivotal role in the global economy. This sector is responsible for producing the transportation solutions that facilitate the movement of goods and people, enabling trade, commerce, and economic growth. As a key component of the broader 49 Land transport and transport via pipelines and 77 Rental and leasing activities industries, the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers is a vital cog in the machinery of modern society.

Production process

The production of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers involves a complex and highly automated process. It typically begins with the fabrication of the vehicle's frame and body components, often using advanced techniques such as stamping, welding, and painting. The powertrain, including the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, is then assembled and integrated with the vehicle's chassis. Finally, the vehicle undergoes a series of quality checks and testing procedures before being delivered to the customer.

Production inputs

The manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers 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. Sophisticated machinery, such as robotic assembly lines and computer-controlled manufacturing equipment, is also essential for this industry. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to design, engineer, 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 sold to consumers, businesses, and government entities. These products are used for a wide range of applications, including personal transportation, freight hauling, and specialized tasks such as construction and agriculture. The outputs of this industry are consumed by a number of other NACE codes, including 45 Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, 49 Land transport and transport via pipelines, and 77 Rental and leasing activities.
