1995 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II.
For Japan's automobile industry, these fifty years have traced a continuous evolution from the establishment of its infrastructure after the war, through the advancement of motorization and the growth of the industry, and onto multiphase globalization and interdependence with the rest of the world.
In the postwar years, automobiles changed the culture and lifestyles of the Japanese people tremendously, serving both as a transportation medium and as a means of communication. At the same time, by creating a wide variety of related industries for the manufacture and servicing of motor vehicles, automobile production grew to become one of Japan's leading industries.
This booklet outlines the evolution of the Japanese automobile industry over the past half-century and the contributions the industry has made to society, to the economy, and to people's lives. Combining a summary of the progress made in the forty years following the war, which was published by JAMA in 1987, with a newly compiled summary of the past ten years, this booklet is designed to provide a quick overview of the past fifty years of Japan's motor vehicle industry.
We hope that readers will find it useful in gaining a better understanding of the history of our industry.
The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JAMA) is a nonprofit trade association that was established in April, 1967. The organization is comprised of the 13 manufacturers of passenger cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles in Japan.
The Japanese automobile industry is closely associated with a broad range of industries at every stage of the production, distribution, and maintenance of motor vehicles and related transportation services. Consequently, we in the automobile industry play a major role both as employers and in Japan's overall manufacturing output. The people who are engaged, either directly or indirectly, in the manufacture of motor vehicles account for approximately 10 percent of the total work force and produce more than 10 percent of Japan's total manufacturing output.
JAMA has set a goal of meeting the diverse needs of the consumers, at home and abroad. To that end, Japanese motor vehicle manufacturers are working to establish and maintain a highly integrated and flexible system that involves both technological developments and management practices.
Concurrently, motor vehicles and parts manufacturers are also working to strengthen and enhance interdependence through, for example, technical and marketing cooperation, joint business ventures, and direct investment. In the present atmosphere of increasing interaction, we are making every effort to respond positively to the growing sophistication and universality of the industry. These efforts, in conjunction with the in-depth research required, are being pursued in anticipation of the inevitable globalization of the industry
