Our Values
- At OICA, we do believe in the automobile. It is one of humanity’s most transformative revolutions, unlocking freedom, connection, and progress over the past two centuries.
- The automobile has empowered people to explore, to bridge cities and nations, and to experience the world in new ways. It has been a driving force for employment, industrial growth, logistics, and relentless innovation in technology and energy.
- Just as the United Nations works for peace, we recognize that the pursuit of mobility and progress through the automobile is a universal aspiration, transcending borders, and cultures.
- We think that science and technology serve people by enabling ever-better vehicles and mobility solutions, aligned with the UN's vision of sustainable, inclusive societies.
- Our mission is to support automakers and their automotive associations worldwide, ensuring the continued evolution of cars, trucks, and buses. OICA achieves this through active engagement in regulatory development, the promotion of accurate information, and the global vision of motor shows that celebrate automotive innovation.
