States of origin: Where your car is really built

AutoExec Summary
In May, Australia marked a significant milestone as it recorded its first month without sales of locally made cars, highlighting the decline of its automotive industry. The market has shifted towards imported vehicles, particularly utes from Thailand, which now dominate sales. Japanese and Korean cars remain popular, while the production of vehicles has increasingly moved overseas due to various trade agreements and manufacturing incentives. This trend underscores the globalisation of car manufacturing, with many brands sourcing from diverse locations.
