Excerpt
Excerpt: The Transportation Equipment Manufacturing industries produce equipment for transporting people and goods. Assembly of components, usually purchased as subassemblies, characterizes the chief production process in this subsector. Other processes employed in industries in this subsector include bending, forming, welding, machining, and assembly of metal or plastic to make parts for the subassemblies that are further fabricated into the finished product by other establishments in the group. Though many of these individual production processes appear in other machinery and equipment industries, transportation equipment is accorded an entire subsector because of its economic importance in all three countries. NAICS has industry groups for each mode of transport road, rail, air and water. Parts for motor vehicles are important enough to warrant a separate industry group. Moreover, establishments that manufacture only parts are not as vertically integrated as those that produce complete vehicles and parts manufacture requires less assembly.
