That's not exactly what I had in mind, but it does seem quite sensible to also rely more on vehicles that can have a higher amount of local/regional content for critical systems. Well, eliminating most of the overseas freight for OEM parts and their due replacements does increase the overall efficiency through the operating life of the vehicle.
