A prolonged strike would severely impact the automotive industry as automakers depend on East and Gulf Coast ports for importing vehicles from Europe.
Despite the strike, consumer impact is limited due to a current inventory surplus, allowing car companies to operate for an average of 77 selling days.
European carmakers such as BMW and Mercedes have more than 77 days of inventory, alleviating immediate concerns regarding supply disruptions caused by the strike.
The Port of Baltimore, crucial for vehicle processing, handled over 847,000 cars last year, highlighting its significance in the car distribution network.
