Advocacy

MEMA Advocacy is a collective of initiatives designed to give vehicle supplier voices, interests, and knowledge the credibility and support they deserve. We influence government policy on their behalf. We protect their priorities. We support their sustainability and continued profitability.

We’re the leading voice for motor vehicle technology and innovation for one simple reason: We’re strong by association.

The Impact of the U.S. Vehicle Supplier Industry

The vehicle supplier industry is the largest sector of manufacturing jobs in the United States, an industry:
  • Operating in all 50 states; 

  • Directly employing almost one million Americans;
  • With direct, indirect, and induced vehicle supplier employment accounting for more than 4.8 million U.S. jobs;
  • Contributing 2.5% of the U.S. GDP; 
  • And with an average U.S. wage for direct vehicle supplier jobs of $80,300 — exceeding the average of all U.S. manufacturing sectors;1
  • Vehicle suppliers conceive, design, and manufacture the OE components and technologies that make up more than 77% of the value in new vehicles. 
  • Vehicle suppliers also manufacture aftermarket parts and materials for the maintenance and repair of over 290 million vehicles on our roads.
