Automotive Regulatory & Market Access Analysis
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
U.S. Automotive Policy & Market Access Research
1. Conduct in-depth tracking and analysis of the implementation and revision trends of the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules under the IRA, anticipate the "de-risking" pressures they impose on overseas battery supply chains, and simulate the impact of potential future changes to tax credit policies on the cost competitiveness of overseas electric vehicle manufacturers.
2. Monitor the potential expansion of Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 into the automotive sector, assessing the risk of escalating tariff barriers under the guise of "national security."
3. Analyze possible adjustments to the rules of origin under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), forecasting compliance risks associated with using Mexico as a transit point for market entry into the United States.
4. Research new regulatory proposals by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning Automated Driving Systems (ADS) and connected vehicles, anticipating future regulatory restrictions on overseas software algorithms and cross-border data flows.
5. Track the "bellwether effect" of state-level regulations, evaluating their potential for adoption and promotion at the federal level.
6. Analyze legislative initiatives promoted in Congress by the United Auto Workers (UAW) and domestic automakers, such as "Buy American" provisions, to forecast potential restrictions on government and public procurement markets.
7. Investigate how competitors utilize tools like anti-dumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) measures and Section 337 investigations to construct intellectual property barriers.
8. Develop a "Legislative Risk-Cost Model" to evaluate the feasibility of various market entry pathways—such as complete vehicle import, SKD assembly, and local manufacturing—under prospective future regulatory environments.
