New Jersey's automotive market is driven by distribution rather than manufacturing. The state hosts the US headquarters for BMW (Woodcliff Lake), Mercedes-Benz (Montvale), Volkswagen Group of America (Herndon VA but major NJ presence), and Subaru of America (Camden). These headquarters and their dealer network support large parts distribution operations throughout New Jersey. Port Newark handles some vehicle imports, and the state's dense dealer network (serving NJ's 9 million residents plus NY metro overflow) creates significant automotive aftermarket pallet demand in the AC/Meadowlands/Central NJ corridors.
