TOKYO — According to data published
by the
Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) on Wednesday, China
surpassed Japan as the world’s largest car exporter last year, thanks to its
fleet of electric vehicle manufacturers.

JAMA stated that Japanese
companies exported 4.42 million cars, trucks, and buses in 2023, a 16 percent rise over
2022, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
In contrast, Chinese automobile
exports reached 4.91 million units last year, a 57.9 percent rise over 2022,
according to the
China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), and 5.22
million units according to Chinese customs, a 57 percent increase.
However, China's lead over Japan is
still relative, as Japanese companies produce twice as many vehicles in
overseas factories, 17 million units in 2022 to be exact. In contrast, Chinese
corporations have only a few factories outside.
China is likely to make bigger
advancements in this area, as
BYD Auto, the world's biggest
electric vehicle (EVs) producer, surpassed Tesla in the fourth quarter of 2023 and is rapidly
expanding its manufacturing worldwide.
BYD Auto stated at the end of
December 2023 that it was establishing a factory in Hungary to target the
European market, and it has comparable initiatives in other regions of the
world, including Southeast Asia and Brazil.
