| Sumario: | Driven by specific regulations, the automotive industry faces a transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. This context opens windows of opportunity for firms and countries to reposition themselves. The aim of this paper is to study the opportunities and threats posed by the transition to electric vehicles for the automotive industry in Argentina. The main results show that Argentina could take advantage of its greater relative availability of qualified human resources in chemistry and its large lithium reserves to catapult the production of batteries for electric vehicles. This transition would also be an opportunity for Argentina to reposition itself in the regional automotive value chains (given the delay that the promotion of electromobility has shown in Brazil); and its growing specialization in pick-up trucks could position it in the emerging market of electric pick-up trucks, which still did not developed any large, consolidated players. |
