American Automotive Policy Council - America's auto manufacturers — Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Company — are committed to investing and keeping jobs here in the United States and delivering the most advanced and green technologies to U.S. consumers.We will strengthen U.S. manufacturing by building the next generation of environmentally-friendly products consumers expect, and investing in plants, research, and people here in America.
We need a “Manufacturing Driven” policy agenda to:
- Shape regulatory, tax and fiscal policies to encourage manufacturing in the United States;
- Create public/private partnerships that speed the development of advanced technologies, similar to programs that other governments have in place that benefit our competitors, such as domestic battery production;
- Target federal manufacturing and jobs support programs to states with the highest rates of unemployment;
- Dedicate more funds to loans and grants for projects that directly create jobs for researching and manufacturing sustainable, advanced technology vehicles...
- Provide direct incentives for consumers to purchase new and cleaner vehicles built with advanced technology, generating immediate environmental and economic benefits;
- Develop a federal worker training grant program, administered through local community colleges, to enhance workers' technical skills in advanced manufacturing;
- Use trade policy as a central tool in the agenda to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing base and spur the export of American-made automobiles to markets around the world; and
- Insist that our trading partners not manipulate their currencies to unfairly subsidize their exports, and that the U.S. only negotiate trade agreements with countries that pledge to fully open their markets to U.S. products.
