FORVIA, des technologies automobiles durables pour une mobilité intelligente

After months of dialogue, last week’s release of the Industrial Accelerator Act marks an important recognition of the essential role automotive suppliers play in Europe’s industrial fabric.

We welcome the European Commission’s decision to include a clear 70% local content requirement as a cornerstone of the Made in Europe approach.

It’s what we suppliers fought long and hard for.
It’s a positive signal, even if we all know by itself it will not be enough.
In parallel Europe needs to structurally improve its competitiveness.
 
The “trusted partners” principle or expansion of Made in EU if not properly assessed and carefully managed is a potential risk.

Geographical extension shouldn’t be a loophole for circumvention; it should fully consider cost structures and regulatory regimes in other countries and be based on reciprocity.

Europe must remain open, but competition must be fair.

We always come back to the same point: ensuring a level playing field.

Let’s make sure this policy delivers for our industrial sites and workforce in Europe!
 
This is a constructive step forward to strengthening Europe’s industrial base and securing critical capacities and know-how in the region.
It is now a matter of speed for by the European Parliament and the Council, let’s move fast.

As yesterday reminded us, progress moves when we move together.

At FORVIA, gender diversity fuels innovation, transformation and leadership strength.

Clear goals guide the way: from building inclusive career paths to boosting representation at every level.

And allyship is a daily leadership habit.

Because shaping the mobility of tomorrow starts with a workplace where everyone can grow, contribute and lead confidently.
