As every year, there is a serious competition in the automobile industry this year. Companies from all over the world are trying to get ahead of each other with their new vehicles. Of course, the fact that the whole world is turning to electric vehicles also increases the value of such automobile-oriented brands.
Now, a report by Brand Finance has revealed the world’s most valuable auto companies in 2023. In the list, it was seen that Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer under the management of Elon Musk, came to the top.
