THE MOTOR INDUSTRY OF JAPAN 2019

In-Use Status of Next-Generation VehiclesSince 2009, when the government’s tax incentive/subsidy programs for the purchase of eco-friendly vehicles were first introduced, new registrations of (so-called in Japan) next-generation vehicles—including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, fuel cell, clean diesel, and other new-energy vehicles—have been steadily increasing. As a result of each automaker’s efforts to develop a range of such models, the share of next-generation vehicles in new passenger car registrations in 2018 reached nearly 38%. The more widespread use of these vehicles requires not only further advances in vehicle and related technologies, but also, among other government initiatives, the establishment of the necessary fuel/energy supply infrastructures and the continued provision of purchasing incentives.Source: Japan Automobile Manufacturers AssociationSource: Japan Automobile Manufacturers AssociationIn vehicle unitsPlug-in hybridvehiclesElectricvehiclesFuel cellvehiclesClean dieselvehiclesTotalHybridvehiclesYear● FACILITY-GENERATED CO2 EMISSION VOLUMES, 1990-2017Source: Japan Automobile Manufacturers AssociationCO2 Reductions at Manufacturers’ FacilitiesJapan’s automakers, together with the member companies of the Japan Auto-Body Industries Association (JABIA), have for years taken measures to reduce energy consumption and otherwise cut CO2 emissions at their production plants. Having more recently expanded their voluntary CO2 reduction activities to also include administrative and research facilities, their combined facility-emitted CO2 in 2017 totalled 6.65 million tons (preliminary figure), down 110,000 tons from the previous year. In line with targets set in 2016, JAMA and JABIA members aim to reduce their combined facility-emitted CO2 to 6.43 million tons (a 35% reduction from the 1990 level) by 2020 and to 6.16 million tons (a 38% reduction from 1990) by 2030.CO2 emissions(x 1 million tons)11109876550101520253035404560050040030020010001990Fiscal year2008Year091011121314151617189.9054420080910111213141516172020(Target)2030(Target)6.703545.873766.143716.503877.364177.473837.163586.663236.763286.653086.436.16CO2 emissions/productionvalue(x 1,000 tons CO2per 1 trillion yen)● NEXT-GENERATION PASSENGER CAR NEW 　 REGISTRATIONS, 2008-2018In %● TRENDS IN NEXT-GENERATION 　 VEHICLE SHARE IN NEW PASSENGER 　 CAR REGISTRATIONSAttention to the EnvironmentNext-Generation Vehicles and CO2 Reductions at Manufacturers’ Facilities108,518347,999481,221451,308887,863921,0451,058,4021,074,9261,275,5601,385,3431,431,9800001510,96814,12216,17814,1889,39036,00423,23001,0782,44212,60713,46914,75616,11010,46715,29918,09226,53300000074111,05484961204,3648,9278,79740,20175,43078,822153,768143,468154,803176,725108,518353,441492,590472,727952,5011,025,3531,169,5191,253,7601,444,7711,595,0911,659,080200820092010201120122013201420152016201720182.624.929.734.836.437.89.011.713.420.822.532
