With respect to automobile transmissions, the United States has long been a significant importer of completed transmissions. From 1989 to 2017, the United States imported, on average, 50 percent of transmissions used in domestic automobile manufacturing.110 In 2017, automobile manufacturers in the United States imported 5.1 million completed transmissions representing 47 percent of domestic demand while domestic production captured the remaining 53
percent.111 As with engines, American-
owned producers sourced TEXT
REDACTED of transmissions domestically in the United States whereas foreign-owned producers sourced TEXT REDACTED of their transmissions in the United States in 2015.112
In addition to import penetration by transmissions displacing domestic production, transmission producers in the United States have increasingly shifted to foreign suppliers for the parts needed to build transmissions. As shown in Figure 21, in 2000 the United
States imported $457 in parts per transmission produced domestically. By 2017 imports had increased to $1,226 in parts per transmission produced domestically.113 U.S. transmission producers are increasingly becoming assemblers; they are not developing emerging technologies associated with next-generation transmissions, and thereby are reducing the availability of the skills, equipment, and R&D needed to maintain global leadership in this important component of automotive production and defense mobility.
109 Id. Although the value and complexity of automobile engines has increased over this period, the relative rate of growth of the average unit value of imported engines up 179 percent from 1989 to 2017 and imported parts per domesticallyproduced engine 370 percent from 1989 to 2017
indicates that there is an increased reliance on imported parts by U.S. engine manufacturers.
