Question 10387 — industry

Summary

Mr. Laurent Mazaury draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for industry, to the situation of the French automotive sector which is going through a structural and cyclical crisis marked by different factors, such as the reduction in production volumes or geopolitical instability which is making the chains more complex supply. It is urgent to support this sector in its restructuring, in order to avoid a loss of skills in the territories and preserve employment and know-how. The territories of the agglomerations of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and the Greater Paris Seine and Oise Urban Community (GPS and O) represent a large part of the direct and indirect regional employment in the sector. It is therefore essential for them that the State can help them support the reconversion of this sector. Aware of France's national and international challenges, they offer solutions to emerge from the crisis but also to turn the latter into an economic and strategic opportunity and strengthen the country's industrial sovereignty. From this perspective, reorienting the automotive sector towards land defense markets could be a solution to be encouraged. It should be noted that Germany has already largely initiated developments in this direction. Indeed, the skills that can be mobilized in the sector (precision machining, on-board electronics, bodywork, assembly, control software and on-board AI, electric or hybrid propulsion, just-in-time logistics and industrial management) could, without a doubt, meet the growing needs of the armed forces. Nevertheless, Access for SMEs from the automotive sector to defense markets faces several obstacles: complexity of the DGA's market procedures, difficulties in responding to public contracts, lack of clarity on medium-term needs, difficulties in achieving the necessary certification levels, poor structuring of downstream sectors around SMEs. To remove these obstacles, the two cities are coming up with proposals concrete and innovative: creation of “SME Defense” intermediary markets, creation of an “Automobile-Defense skills transfer” label, establishment of a DGA-Territories window or even deployment of local experiments. In this context, he asks for the Government's guidelines to support the automotive sector and whether the above-mentioned solutions could be considered.
