Sweden had a native car industry they decommissioned themselves, in short, they basically gave up, but they’re not alone Australia, New Zealand did the same and so did Canada, but they’re starting to realize that they were a little bit hasty in giving up….

Then last, but not least the UK basically threw the towel in too on a wide assortment of industries, but they’re now discovering that that was a big mistake.

New Zealand had car assembly which isn't a car industry.

My friend was working at a place in Christchurch that did some injection moulding for Holden (GM) in Australia.
