The region contains major industrial centres, the most important of which is Turin, home to the [[Fiat]] conglomerate, but mass-market Fiat cars are not produced anymore, only small-scale manufacturing of luxury [[Maserati]] cars (36,702 in 2020).<ref name="carprod">{{cite web|url=https://www.startmag.it/smartcity/stellantis-cosa-succedera-agli-stabilimenti-fca-di-torino-pomigliano-e-melfi/|title=Stellantis production report|date=11 January 2021|language=it}}</ref> Most of the ex-Fiat plants now belong to other companies: aerospace is owned by [[Leonardo S.p.A.]], turbo jet engines by [[General Electric]], high-speed trains by [[Alstom]], bearings by [[SKF]]. Fiat does not exist anymore as an independent company; car production belongs to [[Stellantis]], and trucks, buses, tractors, agriculture and construction machines are produced by the independent company [[CNH Industrial]] (most manufacturing activity takes place in the [[United States]], in Piedmont only the production of [[New Holland Construction|New Holland]] excavators in [[San Mauro Torinese]] and [[Iveco#Engines|Iveco]] diesel engines in [[Turin]]). Neither of them are headquartered in [[Turin]] anymore, however, some research and development centres are still working. 

Formerly famous automotive design companies also were sold to global automotive groups: [[Italdesign Giugiaro]] to [[Volkswagen]], [[Ghia]] to [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[Pininfarina]] to [[Mahindra & Mahindra|Mahindra]]; [[Gruppo Bertone|Bertone]] went into bankruptcy in 2014. The massive decline in the automotive industry caused other regions like [[Veneto]] (€163 billion in 2018) and [[Emilia-Romagna]] (€161 billion in 2018) to surpass Piedmont (€137 billion in 2018) in GDP and led to relative high unemployment. The peak of [[Automotive industry in Italy#Production figures|Italian motor vehicle production]] is reached in 1989 with 2.22 million units, but in 2019 (before the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Italy]]) it was only 0.92 million units. Even existing Italian car production now relocated to [[South Italy]], such as in [[Alfa Romeo Pomigliano d'Arco plant|Pomigliano d'Arco]] (140,478 in 2020), [[Melfi]] (229,848 in 2020), and [[Atessa]] (257,026 in 2020), because of cost cutting.<ref name="carprod"/>

There are some automotive suppliers of: 
* exhaust systems, electronic systems, suspension systems and automotive lighting in [[Venaria Reale]] and [[Rivalta di Torino]] from [[Magneti Marelli]]
* [[dual-clutch transmission]], gearboxes, drivelines and their mechatronics components from [[Graziano Trasmissioni|Dana Graziano]] 
* bearings from [[SKF]]
* tires ([[Michelin]] and [[Pirelli]])
