The Information & Data
The Automotive Policy Research Centre (APRC) uses publicly available data to build and expand the database. The APRC also works on ensuring that the data points provided in the database are accurate and reliable. Therefore, the data in the database can be best described as the most recently available and reliable information.
While the tool allows users to search and filter the database, it is also possible to select and view information of facilities and companies from the map. Users can also use the arrows under the map to navigate the list of facilities and companies displayed. Upon searching, filtering or selecting from the map, the results can be viewed in the table below, as well as under the facility or company information.
The APRC will also continuously work on expanding the focus of the database. While automotive manufacturing and automotive technologies are covered within the database, new emerging technologies are becoming increasingly relevant within the automotive industry. For this reason, future updates may bring major additions and changes to the APRC Database.
