For years, analysts have pondered the impact of the migration of North American light vehicle production from its original hub in the U.S. Midwest to locations in the Southeast and Mexico. Electrification is adding to that impact. The epicenter shift of vehicle output has ramifications on supplier locations, relative logistics and labor availability, as well as economic development considerations.
