Foreword
Promoting the Sound Development
of the ASEAN Automotive Industry
The history of steadily expanding cooperative
ties between member companies of the Japan
Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA)
and their ASEAN partners is now close to half a
century old.
Those years were marked by some difficult
times―the Asian economic crisis of 1997, for
example―but throughout, JAMA members
remained firmly committed to ASEAN,
consistently striving, through automobile
production, sales, and exports, to advance
investment, create jobs, and transfer technology.
This booklet outlines the more recent activities of
JAMA and its member companies in the ASEAN
region.
In 2007, new vehicle sales in the ASEAN market
(Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand and Vietnam) totalled 1.87 million
units, a 5.9% increase over the previous year.
Sustained expansion of the ASEAN auto
industry and market is anticipated in the years
ahead along with high economic growth, and the
region is expected to play an increasingly critical
role in the global market as a center of robust
growth.
Also in 2007, JAMA member companies and
their local partners in ASEAN produced 2.08
million motor vehicles, exported 653,636 units,
and provided employment to 85,491 persons.

The past several years have seen the motor
industries in ASEAN neighboring countries
increasing their competitive strength, which
underscores the urgency of greater global
competitiveness for ASEAN's automotive sector.
With this goal in mind, there are high hopes that
ASEAN will further promote regional integration
at the earliest possible time.
ASEAN is making bold moves to surmount the
hurdles on the path to greater growth. Such
moves include the abolition of regional tariffs,
harmonization of automotive technical
regulations, mutual recognition of certification,
the streamlining of customs procedures and
distribution systems, the fostering of supporting
industries and human resources, the promotion
of safety, greater environmental protection, and
other strategies aimed at promoting sound and
sustainable mobility.
In this emerging era of new challenges, JAMA
members intend to strengthen their ties with
ASEAN, moving forward hand in hand with
their local partners to support the continued
advancement of the automobile industry and the
economic wellbeing of this vital corner of the
world.

JAMA Activities in ASEAN
Bilateral and Multilateral EPAs with ASEAN Countries
JAMA has advocated the establishment of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) with ASEAN countries and
the region as a whole, and actively supported negotiations by the Japanese government in that direction. In
April 2008, the signing of a comprehensive EPA between the ten ASEAN countries and Japan was completed.
JAMA is confident that expanded trade and investment between Japan and ASEAN countries as facilitated by
EPAs will strengthen the interrelationships among the automobile industries in those countries and thereby
promote the further development of ASEAN’s automotive sector as a whole.
The 10th AMEICC Working Group on the Automobile Industry (WGAI) Meeting
Operating under AEM-METI1, the AMEICC (AEM-METI Economic and Industrial Cooperation Committee)
WGAI meets annually so that government and industry players can exchange opinions on issues facing the
ASEAN automobile industry. Held in Jakarta in September 2007, the tenth meeting was attended by 112
participants. During the meeting JAMA advised on the establishment of whole vehicle type approval (see page
14) through the adoption of UN/ECE regulations, so as to simplify and facilitate certification procedures and
ensure vehicle quality; it also explained the roadmap for whole vehicle type approval, at the same time offering
its cooperation in regard to following that roadmap. Furthermore, while JAMA advocated the harmonization of
fuel specifications as promoted by the Worldwide Fuel Charter and EU regulations, it was noted that moves to
introduce biofuels to the market should consider the safety of in-use vehicles. The meeting also reported that
the Euro 2 fuel specifications recommended by JAMA for the ASEAN Automotive Federation membership had
been used as reference by the respective governments in ASEAN in their drafting of specification for Euro 2.
The hope is that all countries will eventually adopt the Euro 4 fuel specifications. Lastly, individual member
countries presented updates on domestic market trends and industry policies. In 2007, 45 projects were
implemented under various AMEICC working groups, with Japan contributing the assistance of 22 experts to
those initiatives.

The 7th AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting
As part of its continuing efforts to promote closer ties with the automotive industries in ASEAN, JAMA organized in
Ho Chi Minh City in January 2007 the seventh bilateral meeting between automotive products certification experts
from Japan and ASEAN automotive associations. Three working groups (WG1 on the environment, WG2 on
certification, and WG3 on safety regulations) took part in the meeting and keynote speeches were made by JAMA
experts. In their speeches, the experts recommended a set of biofuel specification, priority list of UN/ECE safety
regulation, and type approval certification system for future harmonization; the use of a common application
document for whole vehicle type approval (see page
14) in ASEAN member countries; and the provision
of reasonable lead times to ensure the smooth
implementation of new vehicle regulations. These
various recommendations were helpful to ASEAN
working group members in reaching a positive consensus
on proposing a number of technical harmonization
agendas for consideration by the relevant ASEAN
authorities.
The 12th Asian Regulation & Certification Experts (RACE) Meeting
To contribute industry input on technical harmonization issues to the JASIC/Government & Industry Meeting in Manila
in November 2007, JAMA took the lead in organizing the RACE meeting (also in Manila) one day prior to the G/I
forum. At the meeting JAMA reported that Japan had officially announced that an international whole vehicle type
approval (see page 14) ―which would enable the mutual recognition of such certification among all contracting parties
―be proposed to UN/WP29 by 2015. This news greatly encouraged the promotion of technical harmonization by
ASEAN countries. During the discussion on discrepancies between unique national regulations and the international
UN/ECE regulations, JAMA asserted that the former can be accepted as a temporary alternative to the latter. JAMA
also conducted a survey on other obstacles to the establishment of whole vehicle type approval in individual ASEAN
countries, in order to provide an empirical basis for the formulation of strategies for its implementation throughout the
region.

JAMA Activities in ASEAN
Reference: What is the whole vehicle type approval?
JAMA is currently encouraging support from all ASEAN member states for whole vehicle type approval. This system
enables the mutual recognition of approvals (MRA) of whole vehicles among different countries through the adoption
of UN/ECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) regulations under the 1958 Agreement. To date, the
mutual recognition of approvals based on UN/ECE regulations has applied only to vehicle parts and systems.
The merits of worldwide harmonization of technical regulations and MRA include the resulting standardization of
vehicle design specifications and greater commonization (or shared use) of parts, reduced development and production
costs, and a simplification and facilitation of certification procedures in all countries concerned. Progress in these areas
will expand consumer purchasing options and promote the further development of the automotive industry.
Merits of Worldwide Harmonization of Technical Regulations and MRA
Manufacturers
* More efficient & speedier
vehicle development
* Greater efficiency in
obtaining type approval
Users
* Safer and environmentally
friendlier vehicles
* Wider choice of imported cars
* Lower vehicle prices
Governments
Enhanced productivity
and reduced vehicle
development costs, also
promoting innovations in
safety and environmental
technologies.
* More efficient international
distribution of vehicles
* More efficient vehicle
inspection
* More efficient regulatory
formulation & upgrading
JAMA has recommended that the ASEAN countries sign the 1958 Agreement on MRA and adopt the UN/ECE
regulations governing relevant parts and systems. The next step is the adoption of whole vehicle type approval, which
will lead to the global application of the “Tested once, accepted everywhere” principle. Whole vehicle type approval
will, in turn, pave the way for the more widespread use of vehicles incorporating cutting-edge safety and environmental
technologies and thereby play an important role in the promotion of international trade.
