Abstract: Abstract Since the 1990s, supply relationships have undergone a number of upheavals, the first of which was incontestably quantitative in nature. Outsourcing has skyrocketed, with external purchases often amounting to 75–80 per cent of the manufacturing cost price of a passenger car. Long comprising average-sized actors, changes in this sector have given birth to global firms structured as oligopolies and occupying a major (and growing) role in the world’s ‘automobile system’.
