Up to now, the Japanese automobile industry has gone through more than one hundred years.
Before World War II, Japan's automobile industry was in its infancy.
During this period, the Japanese began to make cars, and * * * also began to realize the importance of the automobile industry and introduced policy support.
1936, the automobile manufacturing industry law was officially implemented in Japan, which opened the prelude to the real localization of Japanese cars.
The 20 years after World War II (1945 to the mid-1960s) is the basic stage of modern Japanese automobile industry.
After the destruction of World War II and the recovery of ten years after the war, Japan's economy entered a stage of rapid development on 1955.
The automobile industry also laid a solid foundation during this period.
The proportion of official cars decreased slightly, taxis accelerated and private cars began to take off.
From the mid-1960s to the 1970s, Japan's automobile industry developed rapidly.
From 65438 to 0967, Japan surpassed Germany to become the second largest automobile producer, and domestic automobile sales exceeded one million vehicles for the first time.
1970 Japan's domestic car sales reached 2.38 million, and the average number of cars per thousand people reached 170.
It is nearly 60 times higher than that in 1950.
During this period, ordinary workers became the mainstream buyers of cars, and cars were no longer a symbol of social status, but a means of transportation.
The oil crisis in the 1970s hit European and American car dealers hard, but it benefited Japanese car companies that respected small-displacement cars. 1976, the export volume of Japanese cars reached 2.5 million, surpassing domestic sales for the first time.
According to some data, after 1970s, although Japan's economy became mature and its economic growth rate declined, the automobile industry continued to maintain a rapid growth of nearly 15%.
This "golden age" of Japanese automobile industry basically lasted until the mid-1980s.
Since then, the growth rate of Japanese automobile market has also slowed down, but the export is still strong, which has promoted the continuous development of the automobile industry.
