About manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment for motor vehicles

NACE code 29.31 covers the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment for motor vehicles, a critical industry that supports the automotive sector. This industry produces a wide range of components, from lighting systems and wiring harnesses to electronic control units and infotainment systems. Its products are essential for the functioning and performance of modern vehicles, contributing to improved safety, efficiency, and user experience. As the automotive industry continues to evolve, with increasing emphasis on electrification, connectivity, and autonomous features, the 29.31 industry plays a pivotal role in enabling these advancements and maintaining the competitiveness of the broader automotive ecosystem.

Production process

The manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment for motor vehicles involves a range of production techniques, including precision engineering, automated assembly, and advanced testing procedures. Key steps in the production process include the fabrication of individual components, such as printed circuit boards and sensors, the integration of these components into larger assemblies, and the final testing and quality control measures to ensure the reliability and performance of the finished products.

Production inputs

The 29.31 industry relies on a variety of inputs, including raw materials like copper, aluminum, and various plastics, as well as specialized electronic components and semiconductors. Additionally, the industry requires advanced manufacturing equipment, such as automated assembly lines, soldering stations, and testing equipment, to ensure the consistent and efficient production of its outputs. The availability of skilled labor, particularly in the fields of electrical engineering and electronics, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 29.31 industry are electrical and electronic components and systems for motor vehicles. These include lighting systems, wiring harnesses, electronic control units, infotainment systems, and a wide range of sensors and actuators. The outputs of this industry are consumed by 29.10 Manufacture of motor vehicles, 29.20 (Manufacture of bodies (coachwork) for motor vehicles; manufacture of trailers and semi-trailers), and 29.32 Manufacture of other parts and accessories for motor vehicles.
