Promoting Regional Integration
ASEAN integration is expected to further generate economies of scale in the region and contribute to the future development of the
ASEAN automotive industry. To facilitate this, strengthened competitiveness will become increasingly important.
ASEAN continues to execute its ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint in service of the goal of establishing the AEC by 2015. The
Blueprint aims to create: (1) a single market and production base, (2) strongly competitive regional development, (3) equitable
economic development, and (4) enhanced integration with the global economy. These efforts are making steady progress through
actions such as the enactment of ATIGA (the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement).
With the overall goal of strengthening the
competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry,
JAMA has been participating in the AEM-METI1
Economic and Industrial Cooperation Committee
Working Group on the Automobile Industry (AMEICCWGAI) meetings, starting from the group’s inception
in 1998. With aims of bolstering regional integration,
enhancing supporting industries, and ultimately
strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN
automotive industry, this AMEICC-WG has been
implementing programs such as the Experts Dispatch
Program which sends Japanese experts to assist local
auto parts suppliers in developing manufacturing
technology, improving production and quality control,
and bolstering human resource development.
At the 15th AMEICC-WGAI held in August 2014, opinions and information were exchanged concerning the latest status and future
issues with respect to the implementation of Self-Certification of Origin by authorized exporters, establishment of suitable policies
and procedures, the formulation of basic views on the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership), regional market
integration, and cooperation regarding road safety policy within the ASEAN region.
JAMA considers there to be four issues of prime importance with respect to strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN
automotive industry and facilitation of regional integration. These issues include:
• Further promotion of trade facilitation (establishment of flexible and user-friendly Rules of Origin and certification systems,
further-simplified customs procedures),
• Harmonization of technical regulations and promotion of Mutual Recognition of Approval,
• Improvements in fuel properties and harmonization of fuel specifications, and
• Strengthening of supporting industries, human resources and other related matters.
JAMA is dedicated to taking proactive measures to enhance the international competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry
and promote regional integration, including activities such as participation in AMEICC-WGAI.
Promoting Trade and Investment Liberalization
JAMA believes that further trade and investment liberalization will enhance the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry,
and has therefore advocated for the establishment of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) between ASEAN and Japan. JAMA
has promoted the undertaking of cooperative projects under EPAs, further enhancing competitiveness.
As for RCEP, currently in the midst of negotiations expected to complete by the end of 2015, it is anticipated that this agreement will
greatly contribute to the further development of world economies, including those of ASEAN member states.
This framework is expected to generate more diversified markets for consumers in the region.
JAMA welcomes RCEP’s dedication to achieving higher levels of liberalization and is hopeful that some flexibility in this regard might
also be considered based on the unique conditions found within individual countries’ automotive markets. During the JAMA-AAF
(ASEAN Automotive Federation)’s Information Exchange Meeting, JAMA exchanged views on RCEP with each automotive association
and subsequent rounds of meeting are expected to take place in future.
In future, JAMA will continue to contribute to enhanced ASEAN-centered trade competitiveness and investment liberalization
across Asia.

JAMA Technical Experts Working Together with ASEAN Partners Towards More Comprehensive
Certification Systems and Safety / Environmental Regulations
Harmonization of Technical Regulations and Mutual Recognition of Approval (MRA)
To further promote auto industry development, JAMA advocates the harmonization of technical regulations and Mutual Recognition of
Approval (MRA) based on the United Nations WP29 (World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations) 1958 Agreement, the only
international agreement providing a legal basis for auto parts and systems. Under MRA, contracting parties agree to mutually recognize
each other’s approvals without the need for re-certification.
JAMA has been putting in great effort to promote the 1958
Agreement in concert with the Japanese Government in
the past decade through gatherings including AAF/TC3JAMA1, Asian RACE, JASIC Asia Government and Industry2,
ACCSQ-APWG3, and others. In 2006, Thailand and Malaysia
successfully acceded to the 1958 Agreement, and other
ASEAN countries have started to form national committees
to work towards accession.
In anticipation of the worldwide trend heralded by the
1958 Agreement’s extension of MRA from auto parts/
systems to whole vehicles, in collaboration with the
Japanese Government, JAMA has been promoting the
concept of International Whole Vehicle Type Approval
(IWVTA) during WP29 discussions. JAMA experts provided
discussion updates for ASEAN industry members during the
21st AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting held in Sapporo in September
2014; updates included deliberation on revising the 1958 agreement in order to facilitate recognition of certificates constituted by older
versions of technical regulations, review of voting systems, and plans for submitting the IWVTA proposal to WP29 in November 2013, with
expected IWVTA completion in March 2016.
Given that the ASEAN MRA technical regulations for auto-parts and systems (to be established in 2015) are nearly substantial enough to
facilitate an MRA for entire vehicles (similar to the IWVTA), JAMA experts are encouraging ASEAN members to consider participation in
IWVTA Informal Group discussions and to work in parallel towards a MRA for whole vehicles. This recommendation was endorsed during the
21st AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting held in Sapporo in September 2014, in which it was decided to recommend that each ASEAN country align its
Vehicle Type Approval system with 1958 Agreement Type Approval and to gradually align with IWVTA in future.
Safety and Environmental Regulations
The development of harmonized certification systems in turn requires the harmonization of vehicle safety and environmental regulations.
Although ASEAN governments aim to adopt the UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement as a basis for harmonizing safety
regulations, some regulations may be unsuitable for the ASEAN climate and thus require review. In view of assisting countries in their
adoption of UN Regulations, JAMA experts have worked to provide information to industry associations and authorities through the
presentation of updated studies on UN Regulations suitable for adoption within ASEAN.
Based on such studies, the AAF/TC3 has presented an updated roadmap for the adoption of UN Regulations to the 12th ACCSQ-APWG
held in Manila in 2010. In addition to this, during the July 2011 AAF/TC3-JAMA Special Meeting, JAMA experts provided ASEAN automobile
industry members with general recommendations regarding the ASEAN MRA Draft and specific recommendations on versions of UN
Regulations to be adopted under the ASEAN MRA Draft. Furthermore, in the February 2013 Luangprabang Meeting, with the help of JAMA
experts, AAF/TC3 members consolidated an industry perspective on an ideal ASEAN MRA for submission to the ACCSQ-APWG and respective
authorities for consideration.
Environment (Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Properties)
To promote air quality improvement in ASEAN countries, JAMA fuel experts have drafted specifications for Euro 4 fuels along with biofuel
specifications for both ethanol and FAME4 that take into consideration Southeast Asian climates and vehicle usage. In March 2010, these
specifications were discussed and endorsed by AAF/TC3 members in the form of the AAF/TC3 Fuel Specs. However, due to rising needs
for biofuel blending and ever-more stringent emission regulations, revised fuels specifications for Euro 4 and Euro 5 fuels incorporating
biodiesel of up to B5 (blending 95% diesel with 5% FAME) and bioethanol of up to E10 (blending 90% gasoline with 10% ethanol) were
proposed by JAMA experts in the 19th AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting and subsequently endorsed by AAF/TC3 members at the 20th AAF/TC3-JAMA
Meeting. During the 21st AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting held in Sapporo, AAF/TC3 members agreed to continue to recommend the endorsed
specifications to concerned authorities in ASEAN countries.
Although some fuel-related issues remain, AAF/TC3 members agreed to work towards the adoption of Euro 4 emission regulations by
2017 for all passenger cars and light duty vehicles and the availability of Euro 4 fuels in the market prior to the implementation date. As
of September 2014, Member countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Vietnam) have reported their government’s intention to
implement Euro-4 exhaust emission regulations within the 2014-2017 timespan. Thailand emission levels have already been at Euro-4 since
2012, and Singapore’s Euro-4 emissions for diesel began in 2006.

Promoting the ASEAN MRA and International Whole Vehicle Type Approval
Societal demands on automobile performance regarding global
warming and air pollution issues as well as safety enhancements for
passengers and pedestrians on a global scale have been increasing
at a fast pace. In order to best respond to these demands, continued
harmonization of vehicle and parts regulations that differ between
countries as well as promotion of mutual worldwide recognition of
motor vehicles and parts are becoming more and more important.
In 1958, an agreement on the world-wide harmonization of technical
regulations for automobiles and mutual recognition of approval
of vehicle structures and equipment relating to safety and the
environment was adopted by the United Nations (known as the “1958
Agreement”). At present, 50 countries and one region have acceded
to the Agreement, with 134 UN regulations already developed under
its auspices. In addition, further efforts towards global harmonization
and mutual recognition are currently being undertaken within the
World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UN/WP29).
As part of its plans for achieving economic integration by 2015,
ASEAN is currently working toward establishing the ASEAN Mutual
Recognition Arrangement (ASEAN MRA) to promote harmonization
and mutual recognition of motor vehicle technical regulations within
the ASEAN region. This arrangement will initially target mutual ASEAN
recognition of 19 UN regulations set forth in the 1958 Agreement.
The following key benefits of the ASEAN MRA are expected to
contribute to the strengthening of ASEAN automotive industry
competitiveness :
134 UN Regulations
• Promoting safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles and parts.
• Simplifying certification procedures.
• Strengthening automotive industry competitiveness through the
use of mutually complementary parts and components.
• Promotion of ASEAN exports beyond the ASEAN region.
• Speedier sourcing of substitute parts and components during
natural disasters.
As part of its intensifying efforts toward global harmonization and
mutual recognition, the Japanese government submitted a proposal
for an “International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)” system
at the UN/WP29 March 2010 meeting, where it was agreed to by
member countries. Implementation of the proposal (targeted for
2016) is currently under discussion.
IWVTA, originally based on the 1958 Agreement, advances mutual
recognition from the equipment and parts level to approval of the
“whole vehicle”. As IWVTA related efforts continue to promote
the facilitation of vehicle imports/exports, we look forward to the
utilization of this framework by ASEAN members.
Promotion of harmonization and mutual recognition will help bring
safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles to market and will
strengthen international competitiveness in ASEAN countries where
the growth of motorization is substantial. In view of this, JAMA seeks
to actively cooperate in efforts to establish the ASEAN MRA.

Toyota Launches its first Southeast Asian Road Safety Campaign in Five ASEAN Countries
Toyota believes that education is key to improving road safety, and has therefore created its Be Safety
Leaders campaign, focused on young people. The campaign highlights the fact that that a safer road
environment requires a concerted effort by all road users, including drivers, pedestrians and others.
It is critical to embrace road safety as a way of life. While Toyota constantly strives to create safer cars,
it also encourages drivers and passengers to put on their seatbelts, as the simple act of buckling up helps
save lives and reduce injuries from crashes.
