Navigating Political Changes and Tariffs Successfully
The new US administration signals a major policy shift, bringing both risks and opportunities for the automotive industry. Key changes—such as the elimination of tax incentives for electric vehicles and the imposition of higher import tariffs—will reshape market access, local vehicle demand, and global supply chains.
