I suppose it depends on the car company, but a lot of them are logistics companies coupled with assembly plants. When I visited our customer auto assembly plants the only actual manufacturing going on at was the frame and paint. The rest of the parts were shipped in from other manufacturing facilities. The auto company did design the parts and send them to contract manufacturers, which is what I worked at. Again, I’m sure this depends on the vertical integration and supply chain relationship of each company, but I think there is less manufacturing than assembly going on.
