Motor Vehicles & Passenger Car Bodies

Motor Vehicles & Passenger Car Bodies, classified under SIC 3711, covers the design and assembly of sedans, SUVs, pickups, electric vehicles, and specialty fleets, along with stamping, chassis systems, interior trim, and lightweight body panels. Automakers sell to retail consumers, commercial fleet operators, rental companies, and ride-hailing platforms, while relying on a deep supplier network for batteries, semiconductors, safety systems, and coatings. The sector navigates emissions and fuel-economy rules, crash-safety standards, right-to-repair scrutiny, and volatile commodity and labor costs, with supply-chain resilience and recall exposure as persistent risks. In 2024-2025, OEMs are balancing EV launches with hybrid refreshes, pushing software-defined vehicles, over-the-air updates, ADAS Level 2/3 features, and recycled-material interiors, even as charging buildouts and battery chemistries evolve.
