National equipment and component manufacturers are also taking part in the event, reflecting the diversity of industries and the evolving structuring of local supply chains, the same source specifies.
The event is characterized by a strong presence of spare parts producers and industrial subcontracting operators, with the aim of strengthening industrial integration and promoting national production, the organizers explained, highlighting that this approach aligns with the strategy aimed at reducing imports and increasing the local integration rate.
The same source added that organizing this exhibition in collaboration with national institutions gives it a clear institutional dimension, reflecting the interest of public authorities in the development of the automotive industry as a strategic sector, and in strengthening the attractiveness of investment.
