Automotive-related companies, others Overview of JAIA “Project to Promote Imported Electric Vehicles” In recent years, carbon neutrality efforts have been spreading on a global scale, and the Japanese government is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and as part of that goal, it is promoting the spread of electric vehicles (EV). . Specifically, we have set a goal of making 100% of new car sales electrified by 2035. Furthermore, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Green Growth Strategy positions the automobile industry as one of the key sectors and aims to promote electrification and realize a hydrogen society. Electric vehicles include not only EVs but also hybrid vehicles (HV), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV), and fuel cell vehicles (FCV), and we are pursuing a variety of technological options. Against this background, JAIA is currently promoting the “Project to Promote the Popularization of Imported Electric Vehicles.” (Note: Electric vehicles: EV=Electric Vehicle, PHEV=Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle/Hybrid vehicle that can be charged from an external power source, FCV=Fuel Cell Vehicle, HV=Hybrid Vehicle/Hybrid vehicle )

Comprised of importers who enter into direct import contracts with overseas automobile
manufacturers, we conduct activities such as compiling various statistics, holding joint exhibitions, and providing technical information for the healthy development of the imported automobile market. In recent years, we have been working on business activities with a focus on environmental and safety issues, aiming for
international harmonization between various systems related to the Japanese automobile market and overseas automobile industry countries, and contributing to the healthy development of motorization in Japan and the internationalization of the economy. I am trying to do so.
