Autos Drive America is a new trade association representing major international automakers in the United States. Our new identity reflects the transition from Here For America, an advocacy coalition, to a new trade association led by President and CEO Jennifer Safavian.
Autos Drive America’s mission is to strengthen the U.S. automotive industry by advocating for, and defending, open trade and investment policies that expand employment opportunities for Americans and choice for all consumers. As the voice of international automakers in the United States, Autos Drive America educates stakeholders about the benefits of open trade and works to reduce trade barriers and ensure a level playing field for all auto manufacturers with U.S. operations.
International automakers have invested $92 billion in U.S.-based production facilities, produced almost half of all U.S.-built vehicles last year, and support nearly 2.5 million U.S. jobs. The Association collaborates with executive branch officials and elected leaders at the state and federal level to educate and advocate for policies that support open trade and investment to encourage a healthy, globally competitive U.S. auto industry.
