The ASEAN automobile industry originated with local assembly operations, steadily expanding to the production of engines and other key components and eventually evolving into an integrated regional manufacturing sector. This sustained industrial progress has made a critical and lasting contribution to the sound development of the ASEAN economy and its societies.

For over four decades, the members of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) have acted as good corporate partners in working for the growth of the ASEAN auto industry. These companies have strived to vigorously transfer production, process control, quality improvement and other cutting-edge technologies to the region, while expanding the scope and volume of their own local parts procurement to help ensure the positive development of automobile-supporting industries.

In 2003, JAMA companies worked with their local partners to build 1,475,770 motor vehicles at 58 local production bases in the ASEAN countries, while exporting 212,014 units. These activities created jobs for 64,788 people.

Looking ahead, the ASEAN auto industry faces a critical need to bolster its international competitiveness. The steady implementation of the ASEAN Free Trade Area and further cultivation and strengthening of the auto-supporting industries qualify as critical elements in this equation. JAMA Chairman Yoshihide Munekuni, addressing the AMEICC Working Group on the Automobile Industry in August 2003, voiced JAMA’s proposal for the achievement of market scale in this vital region: “We all look forward to reinforcing the economic partnership between ASEAN and Japan over the years to come. Trade liberalization should be achieved throughout the ASEAN region by 2010, rooted in a solid foundation of industrial accumulation and mutual complementary supply systems of vehicles and parts. The Japanese automobile industry intends to work together with its counterparts in ASEAN to accomplish this target.”

In the following pages, JAMA is pleased to present a summary of the many milestones reached by its members hand in hand with their ASEAN counterparts and colleagues over the years to date. This historical review is not only a tribute to past progress, but also a statement of strong confidence in the continued growth and global importance of the ASEAN region’s automobile industry, and all the people responsible for its success.

This program has been carried out through cooperation between JAMA and the Japanese government. It seeks to bolster the competitiveness of automobile supporting industries and facilitate sound motorization in the ASEAN region. Under this program, a total of 84 Japanese automotive technical experts were dispatched to four ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand) for a two-year period beginning in 2000. They visited a total of 151 companies to provide guidance in quality control, productivity enhancement, and other key manufacturing strategies. Pursuant to requests from the four governments concerned and from JAMA counterparts at the national automotive industry associations in those countries, the decision was taken to extend this program for another two years as its second phase.

ExpertsDispatch ProgramforASEANAutomobile Supporting Industries

For greater cooperation between JAMA and the ASEAN Automotive Federation (AAF), the two organizations decided to launch the JAMA-AAF Meeting. This meeting discusses future prospects for the ASEAN automobile industry, including progress made in the implementation of AFTA, and exchanges opinions on future policies for a number of conferences and support programs conducted between ASEAN and Japan, such as the AMEICC-WGAI and Conference on ASEAN Auto Supporting Industries. JAMA has also regularly engaged in information exchanges on motor vehicle safety, environmental issues and fuel properties in ASEAN countries with AAF’s Technical Committee, in order to facilitate the harmonization of technical regulations and encourage ASEAN countries to participate in WP29 (the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations).

JAMA-AAFMeeting

This is a joint working group consisting of public- and private-sector representatives from ASEAN countries and Japan. Its principal objective being to promote trade liberalization through schemes such as AICO (ASEAN Industrial Cooperation), it also seeks to expedite free trade for the ASEAN automobile industry, in line with the implementation of AFTA. Moreover, the group conceives and implements concrete support measures to strengthen the international competitiveness of the ASEAN auto industry. Accomplishments to date include the Experts Dispatch Program for ASEAN Automobile Supporting Industries, the Conference on ASEAN Auto Supporting Industries, and activities to accelerate the harmonization of automotive technical regulations in the ASEAN region, among other important initiatives.

ExpertsDispatch ProgramforASEANAutomobile Supporting Industries

For greater cooperation between JAMA and the ASEAN Automotive Federation (AAF), the two organizations decided to launch the JAMA-AAF Meeting. This meeting discusses future prospects for the ASEAN automobile industry, including progress made in the implementation of AFTA, and exchanges opinions on future policies for a number of conferences and support programs conducted between ASEAN and Japan, such as the AMEICC-WGAI and Conference on ASEAN Auto Supporting Industries. JAMA has also regularly engaged in information exchanges on motor vehicle safety, environmental issues and fuel properties in ASEAN countries with AAF’s Technical Committee, in order to facilitate the harmonization of technical regulations and encourage ASEAN countries to participate in WP29 (the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations).

JAMA-AAFMeeting

This is a joint working group consisting of public- and private-sector representatives from ASEAN countries and Japan. Its principal objective being to promote trade liberalization through schemes such as AICO (ASEAN Industrial Cooperation), it also seeks to expedite free trade for the ASEAN automobile industry, in line with the implementation of AFTA. Moreover, the group conceives and implements concrete support measures to strengthen the international competitiveness of the ASEAN auto industry. Accomplishments to date include the Experts Dispatch Program for ASEAN Automobile Supporting Industries, the Conference on ASEAN Auto Supporting Industries, and activities to accelerate the harmonization of automotive technical regulations in the ASEAN region, among other important initiatives.
