Japanese automakers produce more overseas

ERJ staff report (BC)

Tokyo – Overseas vehicle production by Japanese automakers in the first quarter of calendar year 2013 totalled 4 197 494 units, reports the Japan Automobile Manufactureres Association (JAMA), an increase of 1.2 percent from the same quarter in the previous year. JAMA attributes this outcome to expanded local production worldwide, except in Europe, Africa, and Oceania, during the quarter under review.
