In Emilia-Romagna, the automotive sector is an integrated supply
chain that combines the manufacture of motor vehicles and
other means of transport with related activities: components
and specialised manufacturing, trade, maintenance and repair.
A system that is widespread across the region, driven by leading
companies and advanced technical skills, where innovation and
quality are integrated into processes and strengthen competitiveness
throughout the entire value chain.
