2 JAMA Canada Annual Review 2003 The Chairman’s Remarks
It is a great pleasure, as the Chairman of JAMA
Canada, to be publishing our 2003 Annual Review of
the Japanese affiliated auto industry in Canada. JAMA
Canada was established in 1984 to promote greater
understanding on economic and trade issues in the
motor vehicle sector.
Industry Overview in 2002
In spite of early forecasts that suggested
sales might soften, 2002 proved to be a
remarkably good year for both production
and sales of Japanese-badged vehicles in
Canada. For the fifth consecutive year,
JAMA Canada members as a group sold
an all-time record number of new
vehicles, up 12.1% from the previous
record of 431,000 units in 2001 to
482,000 in 2002. This represents a
market share of 28.3%, up from 27.4%
the previous year.
What’s more, combined production of
vehicles at three Japanese-affiliated
assembly plants in Canada rose 4.0% to
almost 642,000 units from 617,000 units
in 2001, more than 20,000 units over the
previous record set in 2000. As with other
automakers in Canada, the majority of
vehicles made in Canada are exported.
Total exports were almost 489,000 units
down about 8,000 units from 2001 as a
result of lower output at two plants and a
generally stronger domestic market in
Canada compared to the US. While over
75% of vehicles were shipped to markets
in the US, over 30,600 were exported to
more than a dozen other countries,
including Japan.
The reason for this record performance
lies in a combination of factors which
include strong consumer confidence, a
broad array of new models, improved
affordability, a strong work force, low
interest rates, as well as an ongoing need
to replace older vehicles in Canada.
Looking at overall performance as a
group, Japanese affiliated automakers
produced about 1.4 vehicles in Canada
for every one sold here, and we exported
from Canada more vehicles than we
imported from Japan, the US and Mexico
combined in 2002. In fact, during the
past nine years, over 1.7 million more
vehicles have been exported from plants
in Canada than have been imported from
Japan, the US and Mexico combined.
When all current expansions are fully
operational in 2003, total production
capacity will reach 840,000 units
annually, nearly double our current level
of sales in Canada.
There have been remarkable and
dramatic changes since the mid-1980’s
when Japanese automakers began to
establish manufacturing in Canada, and
the continuing growth in vehicle and parts
production in Canada is a clear and
unequivocal vote of confidence in the
future of the Canadian auto industry.
Highlights of the past year
During the past year, there were three
significant events for JAMA Canada. First,
the 25th Canada Japan Business
Conference was held in Sendai, Japan.
After a quarter century, it was decided by
both sides that the CJBC format needed to
be changed to reflect current realities in
the deepening trade relationship between
the two countries. While the CJBC
Automotive Committee had been one of
the largest and most active, it too will be
transformed under a new format.
Beginning in 2003, bilateral auto industry
meetings will be replaced with multilateral
conferences organized on a regional
basis. In the future, conferences will evolve
from the current format of JAMA-MEMA
meetings. Members of the APMA in
Canada will participate in these
conferences beginning in 2003 in
Yokohama, and will alternate thereafter
between North America and Japan.
Secondly, a debate was being waged in
the media over the past year on whether
or not the Canadian auto industry was in
a ‘crisis’. This debate has been fueled by
two recent developments – the growing
number of new assembly plants being
established in the southern US, and the
3 JAMA Canada Annual Review 2003
contentious issue of state incentives in
attracting those investments; and second,
the prospect of three Canadian assembly
plants closing in the next year or so (the
General Motors plant in Quebec closed in
September 2002). To offset these closures,
those affected have been calling for
government to introduce new tax subsidies
and other direct incentives to attract new
investment. In response, the Canadian
Government created a new joint
committee called the Canadian
Automotive Partnership Council (CAPC)
with representatives from the private
sector (vehicle and parts manufacturers,
CAW union president, academia and
dealers) as well as federal and provincial
industry ministers (from Industry Canada,
Ontario and Quebec) to examine a
number of key policy issues facing the
Canadian auto industry.
For the Japanese-affiliated auto sector in
Canada, the situation is somewhat
different. Both Honda and Toyota continue
to expand their capacity in Canada due
to strong consumer demand in North
America, while a number of new auto
parts plants are being built as a result of
expanding business opportunities.
At the same time, JAMA Canada
members are prepared to support
Canadian Government initiatives to
assist the auto industry enhance its
competitive edge and create a more
attractive investment environment
through a number of non-discriminatory,
forward-looking recommendations in
areas where all auto industry
stakeholders have a shared concern:
• Seek improvements in infrastructure,
including highways and border
crossings with the initial focus on the
primary crossing at Windsor
• A focus on skills training and education
aimed at the skill sets needed within the
automotive industry
• Encourage innovation through
enhanced R&D; incentives and easier
access to these incentives
• A push for harmonization of technical
standards and regulations within the
North American market
• Encourage the various levels of
government to create a tax environment
that makes Canada a very competitive
place in which to invest
• Work to create a viable plan that will allow
Canada to meet its Kyoto commitments
while retaining harmonization of products
within North America.
With a long-term and growing
commitment to Canada and Canadian
consumers, Japanese affiliated
automakers and parts makers have
become an integral part of the economic
and social fabric of Canada. The divisive
policies of the past will not resolve the
competitive issues of the future. All
industry stakeholders in Canada should
cooperate to ensure the auto industry will
be globally competitive.
Finally, the third significant development
in the past year was the ratification of the
Kyoto Protocol. In December, the
Government of Canada officially
introduced its Climate Change Plan,
fulfilling its commitment under the 1997
agreement to establish a plan to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by 6% from
1990 levels between 2008 and 2012.
Automakers in Canada are committed to
reducing emissions during the production
process as well as lowering tailpipe
emissions, but there are common concerns
about the impact of Canadian initiatives
(such as the 25% fuel efficiency target)
that are not harmonized with those in the
US, given the level of integration of the
industry across North America.
While the details of the plan affecting the
auto sector have not been finalized,
negotiations are expected to begin in the
near future. At the same time, with
regards to “MMT free clean fuel
availability”, Canada remains at a
disadvantage with the U.S. To enable the
Canadian auto industry to achieve these
ever-growing regulatory demands, this
“MMT free clean fuel availability”
disparity must be removed.
Further details, including auto industry
facts and figures are contained in this
report as well as on our website at
‘www.jama.ca’.
On behalf of the members of JAMA
Canada, I hope this annual review will be
useful in understanding the activities and
views of the Japanese auto industry in
Canada. We welcome any comments,
suggestions or questions.

The Industry In 2002
Introduction
The Japan Automobile Manufacturers
Association of Canada is a non-profit
trade association established in 1984 to
promote greater understanding on
economic and trade matters pertaining to
the motor vehicle industry and to
encourage closer cooperation between
Canada and Japan.
As a group, JAMA Canada members have
become an integral part of the Canadian
auto industry that makes a significant and
growing contribution to Canada:
• Through several billions of dollars in
direct investment, joint ventures and
industrial cooperation in vehicle and
parts manufacturing;
• Through the current direct
employment of over 22,000
Canadians at motor vehicle and auto
parts manufacturing operations;
• Through the export of about 80% of
vehicle production to the U.S. and other
foreign countries, which adds to
Canada’s trade balance;
• Through our members’ presence in the
Canadian market for over thirty years
which has helped to stimulate
competition for the benefit of
Canadian consumers.
• Through manufacturing investment,
forging a hybrid of Canadian and
Japanese business and industrial
culture; and through a growing array of
supplier relationships helping Canadian
industry be globally competitive through
the diffusion of both product
and process technologies;
• Through an extensive
distribution, sales and service
network of over 1,000
dealerships throughout
Canada employing over
30,000 Canadians.
Contributions to the
Canadian Economy
(i) Consumer Benefits
In pursuit of satisfying the ever demanding
consumer, Japanese automakers have
stimulated competition and raised the
quality of vehicles not only made in
Japan, but increasingly vehicles designed
and developed in North America for the
Canadian and U.S. markets. For all
automakers, quality is a necessary
component of global competitiveness. But
for JAMA Canada members, quality is a
constantly moving target, driven by the
demands of the consumer, lower costs and
continuous improvement. What’s more,
about three of every five Japanese brand
vehicles currently sold in Canada are built
in North America. As such, the benefits to
local communities and local suppliers in
Canada continues to grow, particularly as
capacity in Canada expands to 840,000
units in 2003. In addition, according to
recent industry and consumer surveys,
vehicles designed, manufactured and sold
by our member companies still represent
the leading edge in terms of reliability,
performance and customer satisfaction.

(ii) Employment
The Japanese-affiliated auto industry in
Canada is multi-faceted and in the
aggregate, employs about 54,000
Canadians in manufacturing both parts and
vehicles, imports, exports, transportation,
distribution, sales and service.
In the manufacturing sector, more than
9,700 Canadians work in three
motor vehicle manufacturing
plants, and about 13,000 jobs
have been created in Canada
through various parts and
materials operations supplying the
North American auto industry.
There are about 30,000
Canadians employed in about
1,000 dealerships Finally, there
are about 1,865 people employed in the
national distribution and head offices of
JAMA Canada members.
Several of our member companies
maintain regional offices and warehouses
in different regions of Canada including
Western Canada, Ontario, Quebec and
the Maritime region. Some member
companies run operations in Canada
related to vehicle engineering, design and
testing. These R&D; activities focus
primarily on vehicle and component cold
weather testing in Timmins, Ontario and
in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
(iii) Investments in Manufacturing
There are three vehicle manufacturing
plants and currently thirty-nine
Japanese affiliated auto parts and
related materials and machine tool
operations in Canada. Total investment
in vehicle manufacturing will reach
over $5.6 billion when current
expansions are fully operational.

6 JAMA Canada Annual Review 2003 The Year in Review
The Year in Review
Production in Canada
Three production facilities in Canada (HCM,
TMMC and CAMI) together exceeded the
previous high in 2000 to a new peak of
over 641,000 units. While TMMC built a
record number of units in 2002 as a result
of strong demand for the Corolla and
Matrix, up 31.2% to 218,000 units, Honda
output dipped 2.7% due to the impact of the
port dispute in the US and the ramp up of
Pilot production earlier in the year. Capacity
at HCM is being increased in 2003 from
360,000 to 390,000 units in two plants.
CAMI production continued to fall on a
series of scheduled cutbacks in output
during the year. Preliminary data indicates
CAMI output of Chevrolet Tracker and
Suzuki Vitara dropped 21.5% to 62,000
units. General Motors announced a few
months ago that a new compact SUV called
the Equinox would be built at CAMI for GM
in North America beginning in late 2004.
Canadian Vehicle Exports
Combined vehicle exports slid 2.1% in
2002 as a result of lower output at HCM
and CAMI, and because the Canadian
market was stronger than the main export
market in the US. As a result, the export
to production ratio dropped from 80% in
2001 to 76.2% in 2002. Total exports
were almost 489,000 units down about
8,000 units from 2001. While most
vehicles were shipped to markets in the
US, over 30,600 vehicles were exported
to more than a dozen other countries
during 2002.
Vehicle Imports
Shipments of ‘Japanese brand’ vehicles
from all countries rose in response to strong
market demand in Canada during 2002.
Vehicle imports were up 15.4% overall to
361,674 units including 234,661 units
from Japan, a year over year increase of
24.3%, and 127,013 vehicles brought in
from plants in the US and Mexico, up 1.9%
over the previous year.
Every year since 1993, Canada has been
a net exporter of Japanese related
vehicles. Since 1986, 5.8
million vehicles have been built
in Canada at Honda, Toyota
and CAMI plants, and 4.6
million of those have been
exported to over a dozen
countries around the world
including Japan.
Sales in Canada
JAMA Canada members as a
group established a new light
vehicle sales record in 2002 at
482,692 units sold, up 12.1%
from the previous record of
430,678 units in 2001.
Passenger car sales improved
11.2% year over year, while
light trucks gained 14.6% from
the previous year. Sales of
cars built in North America
rose 7.4%, while NA-built
trucks soared 24.0% in 2002.
At the same time, cars built in
Japan jumped 17.3%, while
Japanese built light trucks grew
8.0% during the same period. JAMA
Canada members combined market share
increased almost one point to 28.3% from
27.4% last year. Passenger car market
share jumped to 38.0% from 36.8%, and
the light truck share rose to 16.6% from
15.8% in 2001.
Among individual members, five
companies set new light vehicle sales
records in 2002. Honda Canada
continues to be the volume leader with a
12-month tally of 165,331 units. While
the Civic was the best selling passenger
car for the 5th year in a row, Honda’s
sales gains came largely from light trucks,
up 43.0% year over year. Toyota Canada
was the growth leader with a unit sales
gain of 19.6%, to an all-time high of
152,766 units. Most of Toyota’s gain
came from passenger cars which
supported record output of Corolla and
Matrix at TMMC in Cambridge. Nissan
Canada also set a new sales record,
gaining 14.1% to 64,661 units, a result of
a number of new models introduced in
2002, particularly in the Infiniti division
whose sales soared 85.1% over 2001.
Mazda Canada forged a new sales peak
of 71,140 units, a 3.1% increase over last
year. Sales of North American-built trucks,
which more than doubled in 2002, were
instrumental in reaching record sales.
Subaru Canada achieved record sales
performance, up 12.0% to 17,236 units
on strong sales of both cars and light
trucks. Suzuki Canada finished up 2002
with stellar sales in December up 68.9%

JAMA Canada Members’ Sales in Canada
8 JAMA Canada Annual Review 2003 Overview of the Canadian Auto Industry
which resulted in a full year total that was
just short of 2001 at 11,558 units, led by
passenger cars sales that gained 42.6%
compared to the previous
year, and offset by a 25%
drop in light truck sales.
Finally, in the medium
and heavy duty truck
segment, Hino Diesel
Trucks Canada broke their
previous sales record in
2002 with a gain of 6.3%
to 905 units.
Among other
automakers, Mitsubishi
Canada had entered the
Canadian market for the
first time in September
2002. At the end of the year, sales
reached 3,223 units, of which 885
passenger vehicles were manufactured in
the US. This is a reasonably good start,
since there are only 31 dealers that have
started up across Canada. Their target for
2003 is to have 51 dealers operational
and sales to reach 15,000-20,000 for the
full year. Four new models will be
introduced in 2003 that will give
Mitsubishi a full roster of passenger cars
and SUVs for the Canadian market.
Overview Of The
Canadian Auto Industry
Production:
Light vehicle
production in Canada
rose 4.0% in 2002 to
2.6 million units,
about 100,000 units
more than the
previous year. This
was the third highest
year on record
following record
output in 1999 of 3.0
million units, and 2.9
million units in 2000.
While production of
passenger cars
gained 7.9% to 1.38
million units, output of
light trucks were largely unchanged
from 2001 levels of 1.2 million units.
Shipments:
Shipments of all automotive products
rebounded from year earlier losses
for a final tally of $98.5 billion, a
gain of 7.0% over 2001. According
to Statistics Canada, motor vehicle
manufacturers’ shipments rose 5.7%
to $65.8 billion in 2002, while auto
parts and accessories shipments
jumped 10.2% to $32.7 billion.
Sales:
While forecasts early last year expected
lower sales in 2002, for the third year
in a row light vehicle sales hit a new
all-time high topping out at just over
1.7 million units for the calendar year,
a jump of 8.4% over 2001.
Sales rose on a number
of factors including
strong economic
performance in Canada,
a continuing array of
consumer incentives such
as 0% financing on a
number of new vehicles,
and a variety of newly
launched models, all of
which helped to bolster
consumer confidence
and market demand.
In the Canadian market
overall, sales of passenger cars rose
7.6% to 934,471 units, while light
truck sales gained 9.5% to a total of
768,775 units during the 2002
calendar year. The Big Three
automakers together sold 6.2% more
vehicles than last year, led by GM with
a gain of 11.0%. But their combined
market share dropped to 60.0% from
61.3% in 2001, even as GM improved
their market share to 30.3%. Ford and
Chrysler had small sales gains of 2.8%
and 0.5% respectively, but both saw
their market share slip over last year.

The Auto Industry in Japan – 2002
The Auto Industry In
Japan – 2002
The Year in Perspective
Japan’s economy continues to suffer
from deflation, declining household
spending, negative investment and
stagnant economic growth. These are
lean economic times in Japan and the
domestic auto market offers a glimpse
of this malaise.
Japanese vehicle sales have remained
flat since 1998 and still hover below
6 million units compared to the peak
levels of 7.8 million units in 1990.
Sales of passenger cars grew by 3.5
percent in 2002, but truck sales
dropped by 16.6 percent leaving
overall sales in negative territory, off
1.9 percent at 5.79
million units. The outlook
for 2003 is that vehicle
sales will continue to
remain flat. There is little
optimism at this time for
any significant recovery
in the Japanese economy.
Nevertheless, there is a
silver lining. While a
rebound in auto sales
seems premature, the
pace of technological
development is booming.
The big impetus is rapidly rising
environmental consciousness in Japan
increasing environmental standards,
and an overriding commitment on the
part of the auto companies to develop
“green” technology to meet the needs
of society and the consumer.
Notably, Japanese makers are moving
aggressively to introduce hybrid
vehicles to the market. These vehicles
combine the traditional combustion
engine with electric technology. They
have low levels of harmful emissions
and high levels of fuel economy, often
exceeding 60 mpg. For example,
Toyota has sold more than 120,000
hybrid vehicles since the introduction
of its Prius and forecasts selling
300,000 a year by 2005. Honda has
been aggressively selling its two
hybrids, the Civic and the Insight. In
addition, both companies recently
distributed their first fuel cell vehicles
in Japan and California. Truck and
bus makers also are chasing green
technology as demonstrated by the
wide variety of hybrid, fuel cell and
natural gas-driven vehicles presented
at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show for
commercial vehicles.
Meanwhile, manufacturers are
introducing a variety of popular new
smaller cars in response to a sharp
shift in demand toward smaller
vehicles. This shift arises both from the
slow economy and increasing
consideration by consumers of
environmental priorities in their car
purchases. In 1996, for example, 21
percent of the car market consisted of
cars with engine capacity greater
than 2000 cc. That share has steadily
dropped and stood at under 16
percent in 2002.
Outlook for 2003
The year 2003 opened with a high
degree of uncertainty. The main issues
include a sluggish global economy,
rising terrorism, unrest in the Middle
East and impending war with Iraq.
Against this background, automobile
companies
worldwide face
specific challenges
including weak or
weakening auto
markets,
intensifying
competition and
shifting demand.
Yet, the success in
the industry
cannot
authentically be measured by sales
alone. Rather it is to be measured by
the development of technology that
will offer the consumer a vehicle with
the highest standard of performance,
durability, safety, fuel efficiency and
environmental protection.
Industrial restructuring
will continue as
companies balance
global competition and
international cooperation
while meeting the ever
demanding needs of the
consumer. Automakers
are aggressively
introducing new ecofriendly
models, such as
hybrid (gas/electric)
vehicles and direct
injection engines. In
October, the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show
will feature a broad array of vehicles
along with new automotive technology
and design, particularly in the areas of
safety, environmentally-friendly low
emission vehicles and alternative fuel
technologies, as well as intelligent
transportation systems (ITS).
In the face of many challenges in the
years ahead, Japanese automakers
will continue to focus on three key
activities: revitalization of domestic
demand, environmental protection and
vehicle safety and the growing need
for global harmonization of automotive
standards and technical regulations.
