The Southeastern automotive industry is thriving.

New Vehicle Registrations in the Southeast

The Southeast is a hot market for automakers, with 2018 bringing more than 3.1 million in new vehicle registrations, a 23.8 percent increase since 2012. The Southeast accounts for 18 percent of all new vehicle registrations in the U.S. Auto manufacturers seek to be close to sales, providing a clear advantage for the Southeast.

Growing Southeastern Exports

Also, Southeastern transportation equipment exports have grown at 10.3 percent annually since 2000. In 2017, manufacturers in this segment exported $61 billion in product, with $9.8 billion in Georgia. Transportation equipment includes automotive, aircraft and other transportation-related products.

New Vehicle Registrations in the Southeast

Over the past 15 years, the Southeast has become the nation’s automotive epicenter. The success of foreign auto makers in non-traditional auto manufacturing locations has invigorated growth in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia. A new “Automotive Alley” has emerged, stretching from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.

The Southeast’s sound economy, stable and growing workforce, low unionization, right-to-work status and low cost of doing business are a few of the reasons auto manufacturers find the Southeast so appealing.

Note: The term ‘automotive alley’ refers to the automotive industry concentration in the U.S., Thomas Klier, FRB Chicago

Georgia’s auto-related workforce is highly skilled with very competitive wage rates.

Georgia workers are highly skilled, wage competitive and have a reputation for having a strong work ethic. The state’s employed population reached 4.3 million in 2017. More than 9.1 percent of those workers are employed in manufacturing operations. The transportation equipment segment alone accounts for more than 13 percent of manufacturing employment, with 53,025 workers.

Productivity improvements and industry consolidation will lead to slower growth in automotive manufacturing-related employment in the coming years. The closure of GM and Ford plants in the Atlanta area accounts for the drop in workers from 2006 to 2007. Since 2010, however, employment in this segment has increased by nearly 43 percent, bolstered by new assembly plants and automotive-related operations coming on-line over the past five years, such as Kia and its suppliers.

Low Unionization Keeps Georgia’s Workforce Competitive.

Like other states in the Southeast, Georgia has very low unionization, particularly in manufacturing. Currently, just 4.0 percent of Georgia’s total workforce is unionized. Just 3.7 percent of private manufacturing workers are unionized, the fourth lowest level in the country and below the national average.

Georgia’s auto-related workforce is largely non-union with competitive wage rates.

Wage rates for Georgia’s automotive-related production workers are lower than most other states in “Auto Alley” at $14.44 per hour. With more than 148,000 production workers in auto-applicable fields, Georgia is well positioned to accommodate automotive manufacturing companies.

Georgia’s transportation infrastructure is world-class.

Atlanta has long been the transportation center of the Southeast. With well-maintained highway systems connecting areas around the state to the rest of the nation, products made in Georgia are never far from their markets. Two major rail systems cross the state, and two major ports, Savannah and Brunswick, enable manufacturers and processors to quickly ship to domestic and global customers. Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport keeps businesses in the Southeast connected to global customers and partners.

Georgia’s Airports

• 80 percent of the nation’s major consumer markets are within a two-hour flight of Atlanta.

• Georgia has two international airports, Savannah and Atlanta. Seven additional airports provide commercial passenger service around the state.

• Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s top airport in passenger volume.

• Hartsfield-Jackson has 1.2 million square feet of cargo handling space and 2 miles of mechanized conveyors.

Georgia’s Ports

• Savannah is the largest single container terminal in North America.

• Brunswick’s Colonel’s Island facility is the nation’s top port for imports of new vehicles.

• The ports have dedicated rail facilities and direct long-haul access.

• Port expansions and improvements totaling $1 billion are planned over the next 10 years, including a $550 million deepening of the Savannah River channel allowing for larger ships coming through the Panama Canal to the East Coast.

• Georgia’s two inland ports, located in Cordele and Chatsworth, provide efficient options for moving cargo to and from Savannah’s container port.

Port of Brunswick is the Fastest Growing Auto Port

For the auto industry in the Southeast, the Port of Brunswick means getting lots of product to market very quickly. The Port of Brunswick’s Colonel’s Island Facility ranks second busiest in the U.S. for total roll on/roll off (Ro/Ro) cargo and second for the import of such cargo, processing 607,000 auto units in FY 2017. With a ten-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8 percent, nearly four times faster than the nearest competitor, Colonel’s Island is the fastest growing autoport in the U.S. Colonel’s Island Terminal increased Ro/Ro capacity by 50%, adding 30,000 spaces in 2017, all of which are in use by processors and manufacturers.

The following facilities are present at Colonel’s Island:• Auto Processors (5 companies serving the port) - Amports - Atlantic Vehicle Processors - BMW of North America - International Auto Processing (IAP) - Merecedes-Benz• Auto Trucking Lines (16 companies)• Auto Manufacturers (8 companies) - BMW of North America - Glovis America - Jaguar Cars - Land Rover North America - Porsche Cars of North America Inc. - SAAB Cars USA Inc. - Volkswagen of America Inc. - Volvo Cars of North America

Honda Nearly Triples its Brunswick Cargo

American Honda Motor Company shipped 34,700 more vehicles through the port of Brunswick in 2017, nearly tripling their business.

“Honda’s partnership with the Port of Brunswick is one of many bright spots in our finished vehicle supply chain. The port’s proximity to open ocean, its expansive and expandable capacity, the connections to our inland supply chain, award-winning auto processors and -- perhaps most importantly -- the complete alignment between state and local government on finding business-friendly solutions for shippers makes the Port of Brunswick an easy choice.”

Charles Kendig, Assistant Vice President for Automobile Operations, American Honda
