Austria is small but packs a big punch in the automotive market. It currently has Europe’s most diverse testing environment for autonomous driving, the world’s lightest and most efficient high-performance batteries for electromobility and the promotion of the use of artificial intelligence are among the focal points in Austria in the field of mobility.
The major players of Austria´s automotive industry are BMW, Fiat, General Motors (Saab), Magna, and MAN (utility vehicles). The growing significance of the sector enhances the international car companies’ willingness to invest to a remarkable extent. Every 9th job in Austria is associated with the automotive market so it is no surprise that Austrians love new cars themselves.
