Altana Reveals Chinese and Russian Components Lurking Deep in Automakers’ Connected Vehicle Value Chains

As U.S. automakers prepare for the 2027 connected vehicle security mandate, they face hidden supply chain vulnerabilities. An analysis shows over 250,000 yearly import transactions include prohibited components in Vehicle Connectivity and Automated Driving Systems, with 99.9% exposure at Tier 2 or further upstream.

Challenges arise for compliance, especially for electric vehicle makers with higher exposure. The analysis reveals:

• Electric vehicle chains face more exposure to prohibited components
• 2,458 Chinese Tier 3 suppliers increase tariff exposure
• Components crossing borders add tariff costs
