15 JAMA Members’ Recent

Activities in ASEAN

Established in 1967, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JAMA) is a nonprofit industry association currently comprised of fourteen manufacturers of passenger cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles in Japan.

The globalization of auto manufacturing contributes significantly to local and national economies around the world. As directions in auto manufacturing increasingly influence the world we live in, JAMA takes its role and mission ever more seriously, acting not only to promote increased environmental protection and greater road safety but also to enhance the international business environment.

Objectives

To promote the sound development of the automobile industry and contribute to social and economic welfare.

Activities

• Conducts studies and surveys related to automobile production, distribution, trade and use.

• Assists in the rationalization of automobile production, and helps establish policy for the development, improvement and promotion of production technology.

• Establishes and promotes policies related to automobile trade and international exchange.

• Engages in public interest, international cooperation and other activities involved in meeting its organizational objectives.

In 2011, the number of direct employees at 67 JAMA member

factories and facilities increased by approximately 24,000,

representing a total of 127,000 people supporting the activities of

JAMA member companies within ASEAN. With this support, JAMA

member companies achieved a total production of 2,568,365 units,

including export of 753,069 units to other regions. Total sales

increased by 2%, reaching 2,117,468 units.

Building on this progress, the ASEAN automotive industry must

continue to strengthen its international competitiveness in order

to achieve further success and thrive in the global economy. To do

this, enhanced market integration is indispensable. Consequently,

ASEAN continues to execute its ASEAN Economic Community

Blueprint with the goal of establishing the ASEAN Economic

Community (AEC) by 2015. This Blueprint aims to create (1) a

single market and production base, (2) strongly competitive

regional development, (3) equitable economic development, and

(4) integration into the global economy. These efforts are making

steady progress through actions such as the enactment of ATIGA.

Moreover, with talks on the Regional Comprehensive Economic

Partnership (RCEP), planned to begin by early 2013, is expected

to further promote and enhance ASEAN-centered economic

integration within Asia.

Hand In Hand Towards Ever-Greater Mutual Automotive Industry Development

To fully realize the AEC, promoting harmonization and the mutual

recognition of automotive technical regulations are important issues

for the automotive industry. ASEAN is engaged in establishing the

ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) before the end of

2012. JAMA is hopeful that the ASEAN MRA will be grounded within

international framework agreements and will lead to the adoption

of International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA), expected to

be introduced in 2016, across ASEAN.

Supply chain disruptions caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake

and severe floods in Thailand in 2011 seriously affected ASEAN and

Japanese automotive industries. However, through overcoming

these two disasters, ASEAN and Japan were able to renew our

recognition of the strong “KIZUNA”, or bond, and the mutual

dependence between ASEAN and Japan. We wish to make this

KIZUNA even stronger, and to drive growth hand in hand for ever-

greater mutual development of regional automotive industries.

ASEAN Automobile Exports of JAMA Members

In 2011, a total of 753,069 units were exported by JAMA member companies and their ASEAN counterparts. 72% of these (544,207 units) were bound for destinations outside ASEAN, with the remaining 28% (208,862 units) classified as intra-ASEAN exports. ASEAN, a key strategic partner of JAMA member companies, has become a core production base, with ever-greater outbound sales expected in future.

Number of Jobs and Facilities Contributed by JAMA Members and Their Affiliates in ASEAN

Although production and sales results were below expectations, in 2011 a total of 127,138 people, a 23% increase over the previous year, were directly employed at 67 JAMA member and ASEAN counterpart facilities. Taking into account indirect employment generated by supporting industries, automobile manufacturers continue to make ever-greater contributions to employment in the region.

ASEAN Automobile Production of JAMA Members

A total of 2,568,365 units of passenger cars, trucks and buses were produced in 2011, a small drop of 5.3% compared to the previous year due to supply chain disruptions caused by the Great East Japan earthquake and floods in Thailand.

JAMA Members’ Automobile Sales by Country

Out of the 2.5 million new passenger cars, trucks and buses sold in ASEAN in 2011, around 80% (2.1 million units) were contributed by JAMA member companies and their ASEAN counterparts, highlighting the key role these partners play in the region.

JAMA Technical Experts Working Together with ASEAN Partners Towards More Comprehensive Certification Systems and Safety / Environmental Regulations

Harmonization of Technical Regulations and Mutual Recognition of Approval (MRA)

To further promote auto industry development, JAMA advocates the harmonization of technical regulations and Mutual Recognition of Approval (MRA) based on the United Nations WP29 (World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations) 1958 Agreement, the only international agreement providing a legal basis for auto parts and systems. Under MRA, contracting parties agree to mutually recognize each other’s approvals without the need for re-certification.

JAMA has been putting in great effort to promote the 1958 Agreement in concert with the Japanese Government in the past decade through the AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting1 , Asian RACE meeting, JASIC Asia Government and Industry Meeting2, ACCSQ-APWG Meeting3, as well as others. In 2006, Thailand and Malaysia successfully acceded to the 1958 Agreement, and other ASEAN countries have started to form national committees to work towards accession.

In anticipation of the worldwide trend heralded by the 1958 Agreement’s extension of MRA from auto parts/systems to whole vehicles, in collaboration with the Japanese Government, JAMA has been promoting the concept of International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) during WP29 discussions. JAMA experts provided discussion updates for ASEAN industry members during the 16th AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting held in Siem Reap in April 2012; updates included deliberations on revising the 1958 Agreement in order to make it more attractive to ASEAN members who have yet to accede to the Agreement. According to experts, some potential options considered by the WP29 IWVTA Informal Group include the recognition of earlier versions of UN Regulations, reconsideration of the current voting system, separating specific UN regulations covering multiple subjects, and deeper consideration of Asian needs.

As ASEAN seeks to make use of the 1958 Agreement’s UN Regulations in the development of its own MRA for parts and systems, such information will be valuable to ASEAN members should they expand their MRA to whole vehicles in future.

Safety and Environmental Regulations

The development of harmonized certification systems in turn requires the harmonization of vehicle safety and environmental regulations.

Although ASEAN governments aim to adopt the UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement as a basis for harmonizing safety regulations, some regulations may be unsuitable for the ASEAN climate and thus require review. In view of assisting countries in their adoption of UN Regulations, JAMA experts have worked to provide information to industry associations and authorities through the presentation of updated studies on UN Regulations suitable for adoption within ASEAN.

Based on such studies, the AAF/TC3 has presented an updated roadmap for the adoption of UN Regulations. Based on the outcome of the 12th ACCSQ-APWG held in Manila in 2010, thirteen regulations from Step 1 and 2 of the roadmap have been agreed to by ASEAN Members States (AMSs) for adoption by 2015. Two other regulations from Step 2 are under consideration by AMSs as well. In addition to this, during the July 2011 AAF/TC3-JAMA Special Meeting, JAMA experts provided ASEAN automobile industry members with general recommendations regarding the ASEAN MRA Draft expected to be finalized in 2012 and specific recommendations on versions of the 19 UN Regulations to be adopted under the ASEAN MRA Draft.

Environment (Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Properties)

To promote air quality improvement in ASEAN countries, JAMA fuel experts have drafted specifications for Euro 4 fuels along with biofuel specifications for both ethanol and FAME4 that take into consideration Southeast Asian climates and vehicle usage. In March 2010, these specifications were discussed and endorsed by AAF/TC3 members in the form of the AAF/TC3 Fuel Specs. Although some fuel-related issues remain, in April 2012 AAF/TC3 members agreed to work towards expediting the adoption of Euro 4 emission regulations by 2012 - 2017 for all passenger cars and light duty vehicles and the availability of Euro 4 fuels in the market prior to this date.

Supporting Liberalization of Trade and Investment

JAMA advocates further strengthening of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) with ASEAN countries. It is believed that such agreements will effectively complement bilateral and multilateral trade, investment liberalization, and other trade agendas under the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The government of Japan has already concluded EPAs with Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines and Vietnam. In addition, an EPA with ASEAN as a whole has been signed as well.

As the signing of EPAs promotes further growth of the ASEAN automotive industry as a whole, JAMA has been working to help achieve the agreed-upon terms for the automotive industry sector under the EPA through mutual understanding with counterparts in ASEAN countries and the promotion of cooperative projects.

JAMA looks forward to the further advancement of ASEAN-centered trade liberalization in the Asian region through the signing of new bilateral EPAs with ASEAN countries, further strengthening of the terms of already concluded EPAs, and the promotion of inter-regional EPA/FTAs such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Promoting Regional Integration

Strengthening international competitiveness is necessary for further development of the ASEAN automotive industry in future. For this, removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers, as well as the integration of ASEAN as a single market will become necessary.

ASEAN continues to execute its ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint towards the goal of establishing the AEC by 2015. The Blueprint aims to create: (1) a single market and production base, (2) strongly competitive regional development, (3) equitable economic development, and (4) enhanced integration with the global economy. These efforts are making steady progress through actions such as the enactment of ATIGA.

With the overall goal of strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry, JAMA has been participating in AEM-METI1 Economic and Industrial Cooperation Committee Working Group on the Automobile Industry (AMEICC-WGAI) meetings, starting from the group’s inception in 1998. With aims of bolstering regional integration , enhancing supporting industries, and ultimately strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry, this WG has been implementing programs such as the Experts Dispatch Program, sending Japanese experts to assist local auto parts suppliers in developing manufacturing technology, improving production and quality control, and strengthening human resource development. The success of this program has enhanced prospects for increased international competitiveness within the ASEAN automotive industry. JAMA will continue to work diligently to support the activities of this WG.

At the 14th AMEICC-WGAI held in February 2012, information and ideas were exchanged concerning latest status and future issues with respect to harmonization of technical regulations and market integration.

JAMA considers there to be four issues of prime importance as regards strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry and further promoting regional integration, as follows:

• Further promotion of trade facilitation (establishment of flexible and user-friendly Rules of Origin and certification systems, simplification of customs procedures),

• Harmonization of technical regulations and promotion of Mutual Recognition of Approval,

• Improvements in fuel properties and harmonization of fuel specifications, and

• Strengthening of supporting industries, human resources and other related matters.

JAMA is dedicated to continuing to take proactive measures to enhance international competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry and regional integration, including activities such as participation in AMEICC-WGAI.

Recent years have seen increasing societal demands on automobile performance aimed at addressing global warming and air pollution issues as well as enhancing safety for passengers and pedestrians on a global scale. In order to best respond to these demands, continued harmonization of regulations for vehicles and parts that differ between countries as well as the promotion of the mutual worldwide recognition of motor vehicles and parts are becoming more and more important.

In 1958, an agreement on world-wide harmonization of technical regulations for automobiles and mutual recognition of approval of vehicle structures and equipment relating to safety and the environment was adopted by the United Nations (known as the “1958 Agreement”). At present, 57 countries and one region have acceded to the Agreement, with 127 UN regulations already developed under its auspices. In addition, further efforts towards global harmonization and mutual recognition are currently being undertaken within the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UN/WP29). As part of its plans for achieving economic integration by 2015, ASEAN is currently working toward establishing the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) to promote harmonization and mutual recognition of motor vehicle technical regulations within the ASEAN region by 2012. This arrangement will initially target mutual ASEAN recognition of 19 UN regulations set forth in the 1958 Agreement.

The following key benefits of the ASEAN MRA are expected to contribute to strengthen the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry:

• Promoting safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles and parts.

• Simplifying certification procedures.

• Strengthening automotive industry competitiveness through the use of mutually complementary parts and components.

• Promotion of ASEAN exports beyond the ASEAN region.

• Speedier sourcing of substitute parts and components during natural disasters.

As part of its intensifying efforts toward international harmonization and mutual recognition, the Japanese government submitted a proposal for an “International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)” system at the UN/WP29 March 2010 meeting, where it was agreed to by member countries. Implementation of the proposal (targeted for 2016) is currently under discussion.

IWVTA, originally based on a 1958 Agreement, advances mutual recognition from the equipment and parts level to approval of the “whole vehicle”. As IWVTA related efforts move towards the establishment of a common international system, we look forward to ASEAN participation within this framework.

Promotion of harmonization and mutual recognition will facilitate bringing safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles to market and will strengthen international competitiveness in ASEAN countries where the growth of motorization is substantial. In view of this, JAMA seeks to actively cooperate in efforts to establish the ASEAN MRA.
