The state of Michigan and the State of Israel don't need an introduction. In some ways the automotive heart of America has been working steadily with Israel for decades.
The Big Three automotive companies in Michigan have tanked, and government incentives are now looking to transform America's battered auto industry into something new. And Israel could play a part.
Ron Perry, executive director of the Michigan Israel Business Bridge, says that Israel's history as a supplier to the Big Three - General Motors, Chrysler and Ford - is well developed. With a new focus on electric and hybrid cars, Michigan, he surmises, could benefit from collaboration with Israeli battery researchers.
A number of Israeli firms have been supplying parts and solutions to the US auto industry for years. "The history of Michigan and Israel in the automotive industry has been one in which several kibbutz companies in Israel that produce automotive supplies, and lower level companies, sold to the Big Three and new companies, such as automotive tech companies," says Perry, remarking that General Motors has an R&D facility in Israel.
The Big Three in Michigan are looking to build smaller cars, as well as plug-in hybrids and electric cars and they're looking to Israel for new tech.
