Consolidating and developing Córdoba's Automotive & Sustainable Mobility Cluster amid global transitions

Córdoba's Automotive & Sustainable Mobility Cluster (CLAUTO), represented by the Chamber of Metalworking and Component Manufacturers (CIMCC), carried out this foundational, strategic project while formally incorporating as a nonprofit (registration with the IPJ was in progress at the time of submission). The project launched programs under the three strategic pillars of the cluster's roadmap: management innovation, talent management and sustainability.

Activity 1, CLAUTO cost structure organization and management: building a cost matrix and indicators for the main industrial activities in the auto parts chain (machining, aluminum refining, aluminum injection, stamping/assembly, exhaust system manufacturing), benchmarked against Brazil and Mexico and managed by the cluster's Competitiveness Committee. It also included the formal creation of the CLAUTO nonprofit.

Activity 2, industrial robotics training: training 25 employees of member companies in a skill that is critical to the sector's technology transformation, through a 50-hour program (24 hours of theory at a member technical institute + 26 hours of hands-on practice at real production facilities).

Activity 3, building a vision on global transitions and sustainable mobility: a series of working sessions led by automakers, visits to 5 assembly plants, exchanges with automotive clusters in benchmark countries and a final workshop to redefine the cluster's strategies and action plans in light of e-mobility and the sustainability transition.
