THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN UZBEKISTAN'S AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING: ECONOMIC IMPACTS AND ENGINEERING INSIGHTS

Today, international trade has been a major driving force for change in the manufacturing sectors of many countries, especially for industries such as automotive production. As markets around the world have become more integrated, countries have acquired the capability to access goods, technologies, and components that would otherwise be unavailable or too costly to produce domestically. This has been particularly important in industries such as car manufacturing, where dependence on many types of specialized parts from around the world is crucial to assembling quality vehicles. Such countries import parts like engines, transmission, and electronic systems for assembling cars meeting global standards of performance, safety, and innovation at more affordable costs, backed by international suppliers’ efficiency.
