For some, the purchase of products made in their country of origin has always been a priority. In America, this desire earns more terrain, in particular with the recent imposition of sweeping the 25% prices on cars made outside the country. Fortunately, a useful document from the US government now offers a clear overview of how cars for sale in the country are “made American”.
Read: Trump imposes prices of 25% of 25% on all cars and parts not designed
Donald Trump recently signed a proclamation which brings additional prices not only to whole vehicles, but also automotive parts. This includes the components used in the United States for the final assembly of vehicles. We detailed the complex situation in a separate article when the news broke out. Here, we will show you the document that details where each car for sale in the United States is manufactured.
The American Automotive Labeling Act: what it reveals
Known as the list of the American Automotive Labeling Labeling (AALA), this document provides details on five key aspects. First, it reveals the percentage of a car made in the United States or Canada, without distinguishing both. Second, he specifies where the final set takes place.
Then, it offers an overview of the origins of the engine and the transmission. Finally, it also details the percentage of a car from other continents. For example, a version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is made at 29% in America, 29% manufactured in Korea and 33% Hungarian.
The Plug-In Volvo S60 T8 hybrid is made up of 20% of American manufacturing parts, 15% of Finnish parts and 15% of Swedish manufacturing parts. However, the majority of cars are not divided into so many countries. Instead, most are either built entirely in the United States / Canada or outside. However, some details could still surprise consumers.
Take the Lincoln Nautilus, for example. Only 5% of this car is made in the United States, with 87% from China. On the other hand, the KIA EV6 is 80% American manufacturing, while the Honda Ridgeline and Acura MDX are 70% American manufacturing.
Plus: the price of 25% of Trump could skyrocket these popular car prices up to $ 16,000
All in all, around 45% of vehicles sold in the United States are imported, the share of lion from Mexico and Canada. But this number only tells a part of the story – because the Aala document shows, even these cars assembled here contain parts abroad.
All these vehicles will be affected by the prices to come in one way or another. That they will finally benefit American consumers are still in the air.
