2 Contents Japanese Automakers in the EU Contributing to the Economy and Employment in Europe in the Global Slowdown Foreword Production in the European Union Research & Development in the European Union EU Production and Exports by Japanese Automakers Investment and Employment News from Our Members Japanese Automakers Purchases of EU Parts Automotive Ties between Europe and Japan Currently at a turning point in terms of the structural adjustments it faces as a result of the global economic downturn, the automobile industry will nevertheless retain its vital role in the years ahead as the purveyor of an essential commodity, an engine for employment and investment and a pillar of the economy. The global slowdown notwithstanding, Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) member companies continue to contribute to the economy and employment in the European Union through their research-and-development, production, sales and procurement activities in the region, while introducing to EU markets vehicles that meet a wide range of user needs and offer excellent environmental performance. Figures for 00 attest to the significance of this contribution: Cumulative investment by Japanese automakers in European production and R&D facilities reached nearly 1.0 billion. Japanese automakers in the EU produced 1. million vehicles. Japanese automakers operated a total of 1 manufacturing plants and 1 R&D and design centres in the EU and purchased 1. billion worth of EU-made parts. Directly in those operations and indirectly in sales and distribution, Japanese automakers activities involved the employment of 1,0 people across Europe. EU-made Japanese models exported from the EU totalled 1,1 units. The European Commission and EU Member States have adopted or will soon adopt economic measures intended to revitalise the vehicle market and promote the shift to low-carbon road transport. With implemented measures already showing positive results, JAMA members expect that such initiatives will expedite the recovery not just of the auto industry but of the European economy overall, provided the measures avoid protectionism by ensuring fair competition. Meanwhile, the automotive industry worldwide is responding to the problem of climate change by increasing vehicle fuel efficiency to reduce CO emissions in road transport. Having for years positioned global warming as their most urgent priority, JAMA members have invested heavily in the development of new technologies for next-generation vehicles, including hybrid, clean diesel and alternative-energy vehicles. They are currently working to expand the number of hybrid models available on the market and will introduce electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the very near future. Compliance with the EU s mid-term reduction target for passenger car CO emissions will also be necessary. Further significant CO reduction in the road transport sector will, however, require the implementation of an integrated approach involving specific measures such as infrastructural development for congestion mitigation, eco-driving and the supply of alternative fuels/power and efforts on the part of stakeholders throughout the sector, including not only auto manufacturers but also government, vehicle users and fuel/energy providers. As they continue to contribute to the economy and employment in Europe, JAMA members commitment to a closer partnership between the Japanese and European automobile industries will remain firm. Such a partnership will, they believe, enable both sides to address, in full respect of EU policy, global environmental and safety issues with greater efficiency and effectiveness, which in turn will enhance their respective competitiveness and advance the global transition to sustainable mobility.

Honda Honda plans to begin production of the Jazz at the HUM plant in Swindon, UK, in autumn 00. HUM also produces CR-V and Civic models for Europe. Until now, the Jazz has been supplied to Europe from Japan and China; producing the Jazz at HUM will help meet increased demand for the car in the European market. The Honda Jazz recently surpassed the 0,000 sales mark in Europe. Mazda The Mazda with idling prevention ( i-stop ) technology adds a new eco-friendly option to the line-up. The car features i-stop in combination with the MZR.0 DISI (direct injection spark ignition) engine. Together, these two Mazda proprietary technologies help the new model achieve approximately 1% lower fuel consumption in city driving than the current European Mazda. Mitsubishi Mitsubishi unveiled their new-generation electric vehicle i-miev in March 00. Introduced to the market in Japan in July, it is scheduled for European market introduction in 0/0. Viewed by its manufacturer as the ultimate eco-car, the i-miev is the crystallisation of some 0 years of development of electric-vehicle technology at Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi Fuso The 10,000th Canter rolled off the line on October 00 at Mitsubishi Fuso s Tramagal (Portugal) plant, which since 1 has been devoted exclusively to production of the light-duty Fuso Canter for the European market, where it is now sold in 0 countries. Mitsubishi Fuso Truck Europe S.A. (MFTE) donated their 10,000th Canter to the fire department in Abrantes, Portugal. Motor Co., Ltd. unveiled in August 00 the Leaf, the world s first commercial all-electric, zero-emissions car.
