Methodology for Creating a Matrix to Assess the Domestic Content of a Vehicle by Make and Model
Establishing the domestic content of a motor vehicle is not the straightforward question that it would seem to be. The complexity of the motor vehicle, as well as the complexity of the motor vehicle industry, have made the determination of the exact percentage of domestic content of a vehicle a daunting task. It is, however, an important task to undertake, as the origins of a motor vehicle affect society in a variety of ways – for example, consumer decisions to purchase imported motor vehicles impact employment in the U.S. industry. This paper examines the various metrics used to determine how much of a motor vehicle is considered to be domestically produced.
Economic Impact of Hyundai in the United States
This study estimates the economic impact in 2011 of Hyundai’s U.S. operations on the U.S. economy. In addition to the direct workers employed by Hyundai in all of its U.S. operations, many more people are needed to supply the goods and services that are directly or indirectly related to the operations of a motor vehicle company, or have jobs that are supported when the direct and indirect workers spend their paychecks in their communities.

Driving Workforce Change: Regional Impact and Implications of Auto Industry Transformation to a Green Economy
Before the Great Recession, the auto industry in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio was in the throes of restructuring—applying new technologies and production efficiencies, reducing costs, and modifying product lines to equal or beat global competitors —accompanied by an extended period of downsizing. Overlaying the recession on the restructuring compounded the challenges the industry was already facing.
Contribution of Toyota Motor North America to the Economies of Sixteen States and the United States in 2010

Deployment Rollout Estimate of Electric Vehicles 2011-2015
The purpose of this study is not to forecast sales of electric vehicles; rather, this study‘s aim is to estimate electric vehicle deployment by state. In order to create these estimates, CAR examined forecasts of total electric vehicle sales in the U.S. to generate a reasonable approximation of what electric vehicle sales might look like for the period 2012 to 2015. The national estimates used in this paper do not constitute a CAR forecast and only reflect projections that were available at the time of this study. In the study, Table 6 denotes the percentages used by CAR to divide national electric vehicle sales among states. With the state percentages, one could select any forecast and generate state-by-state results for that forecast.
