The automobile branch is responsible for 17 per cent of all jobs in Baden-Württemberg. The Stuttgart region is still the most important location of the automobile industry. About a fifth of the global branch turn-over is generated in this region. Important car manufacturers and component suppliers in the country have played an essential part in the development and history of the automobile. For a good reason, Baden-Württemberg enjoys a fantastic reputation as premium automobile location.
