US auto supplier group says “immediate and decisive action is needed to prevent widespread disruption and economic fallout across the vehicle supplier sector” on Chinese rare earth issue.
--
The warning from the U.S. auto supplier group reflects growing concerns that tightening Chinese controls over rare earth exports could severely disrupt the supply chains critical to vehicle manufacturing. Rare earth elements are essential components in electric motors, batteries, and various high-tech systems used in modern vehicles. With China dominating global production and processing of these materials, any restrictions threaten to stall production lines, increase costs, and delay vehicle deliveries. The group’s call for “immediate and decisive action” underscores the urgency to secure alternative sources or build domestic capacity to avoid a potential economic shock across the entire automotive supply chain.
