In any case, Japan agreed to change these rules during negotiations over the TPP trade deal. But this is also how things work in Europe, and Ford and GM sell plenty of cars there. These are the dreaded “inspection rules” that keep American cars out: Japan insists on testing vehicles itself instead of letting automakers test them and then taking their word for it. In the United States, though, the automakers certify that their vehicles meet federal safety requirements - and assume the liability of meeting those requirements. This means the government certifies that the vehicles meet safety standards. Japan, like the EU, uses a “type approval” system to clear cars for sale. First up, there are auto regulations that, fairly or not, American car companies complain about: So what’s the real problem? Let’s take a tour of Japan to find out why they buy so few American cars. But this is largely because they hardly even try: It’s also true that American car companies sell barely any cars in Japan.
Second, it’s true that the Japanese auto import market is small: about 6 percent of the entire market. There are currently no tariffs on foreign auto imports, and the safety and emissions rules are roughly the same as everywhere else. But that largely ended during the 70s and 80s. Perhaps you’d be interested in the truth about this?įirst off, Japan did keep foreign cars out for several decades after World War II. He believes it, and he’s hardly the only one who believes that Japan deliberately sets up lots of red tape to keep out foreign cars. Today the White House tried to pass this off as a joke, but Trump pretty obviously didn’t mean it as a joke. Yesterday we heard about the “bowling ball test.” According to Donald Trump, this is how the Japanese keep American cars out of their market: they drop a bowling ball on the hood, and if it makes a dent they refuse to let it in.

Therefore, all auto manufacturers contributed to wartime production. The Jeep production included manufacturers Willys and Ford, between 19 and even today, Chrysler seems to keep the memory of the old Jeep alive, through its new and modern Jeep Wrangler. Many of the military appliances and other specific supplies were assembled by Nash-Kelvinator, while Henry Kaiser became a legend thanks to his California shipyard, where he built the “Liberty” and “Victory” cargo ships in very little time. Hudson joined the efforts with its aircraft guns, engines, parts and the “Hudson Invader” engine, known having been used to power landing watercraft on D-Day at Normandy, June 6, 1944. Many of the tank retrieval trailers and tank recovery vehicles came from the well known taxi cab factory, Checker. Studebaker built the US6 truck, the M29 Weasel cargo and other crew carriers, the Journal Standard reports. Worth mentioning are the fantastic Cadillac Tanks military trucks and ambulances built by Dodge, Chrysler, the PT Boat and aircraft engines produced exclusively by Packard, including the V-1650 engine which powered the amazing P-51 Mustang fighter. General Motors also had a huge contribution to producing armaments, vehicles and aircraft and signed more contracts and orders than any other company during the war.
