Highlights of 2014:

JAMA Canada was established as a non-profit trade association in 1984, and continues to promote greater understanding on economic and trade issues in the motor vehicle sector and to encourage closer cooperation between Canada and Japan.

• In 2014, the Japanese auto industry in Canada reached new pinnacles of performancewith record levels in sales, production and vehicle. Production and exports of Japanesebrand light vehicles rebounded in 2014 with over 972,000 units built and exports of766,000 vehicles to the US and other global markets. Light vehicle sales volume grewto a record 625,559 units; but with increased competition in Canada, our market sharehas not yet fully recovered from the last peak in 2008.

• Since the first Japanese automakers came to Canada in 1965, billions of dollars investedby JAMA Canada members and their 1,200 dealers across Canada in vehicle and partsdistribution, sales, and service are the foundation for our successful integration into theCanadian economy and in countless communities in all provinces and the YukonTerritories.

• Japanese automakers continue to focus on supplying Canadian consumers with safe,reliable, environmentally-friendly personal transportation. Among other things, ourpresence in Canada has raised competition across the industry and increased benefits forconsumers with vehicles that offer safety, fuel-efficiency and innovative advancedtechnologies including continuously variable transmissions, lean-burn direct fuelinjection, turbo-chargers, gas electric and plug-in hybrids, as well as battery electricvehicles to name a few.
