The transport equipment subsector comprises of the manufacture of motor vehicles, bodies for vehicles and tractors, trailers and semi-trailers, parts and accessories for motor vehicles, building and repairing ships and boats, aircraft, railway and tramway locomotives, and motorcycles and bicycles. The value chain stretches beyond the direct supply chains between large-scale first-tier component manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). It involves related upstream sectors such as plastics, recycling, metals and chemicals, providing inputs for manufacturing components. The industry is dominated by seven large multinational OEMs, which source inputs from first-tier component manufacturers and more minor-scale inputs from second-tier component manufacturers.
