The Emerging Europe region will continue to develop as a thriving component manufacturing hub for the whole European region. The majority of vehicle production investment is heading to Russia as the market recovery gathers momentum and the government looks to encourage high levels of localisation. In our regular round-up of production investments, we track the latest projects from the production side of the industry and analyse regional trends that we see developing. In doing so, we hope to build a picture of any potential hubs that may be developing, as well as company strategy in terms of production bases and export programmes.
