A closer look at “Global Auto Industry Faces Massive Overcapacity: 57 Million Excess Cars Possible”, exactly as the source publishes it. The global automotive industry is confronting a staggering overcapacity problem, with the ability to build 57 million more vehicles than the world actually needs, according to a new analysis.
