• Continuously Promoting the Transformation of Vehicle Industry and Recreat a New Aspect of Sustainable Developmen

  The vehicle industry is a key sector characterized by intensive technology and capital. With an extensive industrial chain, it spans across steel, plastics, rubber, glass, machinery, electrical engineering, electronics, services, etc.. It is closely integrated with high-tech fields such as smart manufacturing, information and communication technology (ICT), and semiconductors. Covering a wide range of professional skills—from R&D, manufacturing, procurement, marketing, and management to maintenance, it is often referred to as a "locomotive industry" that propels the development of related sectors and generates vast employment opportunities. As such, countries around the world regard it as a critical pillar of economic growth.
   
  In recent years, global economic and industrial landscapes have been undergoing significant changes. The ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions, rising protectionism, intensifying de-globalization trends, inflation, and fluctuating raw material prices have brought great uncertainty to the vehicle industry. At the same time, in response to the global push for net-zero carbon emissions, the industry is experiencing an unprecedented technological revolution. There is a growing movement toward electrification and smart mobility, with companies actively integrating with cross-disciplinary technologies such as ICT, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors, leading to the formation of new industrial ecosystems.
   
  Amid these rapid industrial and international changes, Taiwan's vehicle industry is facing both internal and external challenges. We must work hand in hand to strengthen our competitive edge and enhance industry resilience in order to respond cost pressures and market fluctuations and seize future opportunities. We aim to unite the strength of all member companies and work together to:
   
  1.Accelerate digital transformation to promote vehicle electrification, smart functionality, and connectivity; foster cross-industry collaboration with Taiwan’s ICT and semiconductor sectors to develop next-generation vehicle hardware and software systems; and improve efficiency through smart manufacturing and digital transformation to maintain industry competitiveness.
   
  2.Advance environmental protection and sustainable development by optimizing production processes to align with global carbon reduction trends; adopt carbon neutrality strategies; improve energy efficiency; promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing practices across the industrial supply chain; and build a green supply chain system to ensure the industry's long-term sustainability.
   
  3.Strengthen industrial collaboration and global expansion by promoting synergy among upstream and downstream companies within the vehicle industry chain; establish a co-creative, win-win, and mutually beneficial industrial ecosystem; actively explore international markets; and elevate Taiwan’s status in the global vehicle industry chain.
   
  TTVMA will continue to serve as a bridge between the industry and the government, advocate for policy development, promote industry advancement, and assist enterprises in upgrading and transforming. Together, we will lead Taiwan’s vehicle industry toward a future of net-zero carbon emissions and sustainable development, creating new opportunities for the industry.
