Production in Canada – 2010 The auto industry in North America began to recover from the global recession in 2010. Combined light vehicle output at Honda (HCM in Alliston, Ontario) and Toyota (TMMC in Cambridge and Woodstock, Ontario) totaled 737,321 units in 2010, an increase of 27.3% from 579,344 units in the previous year. Overall, Japanese automakers in Canada built almost 1.4 light duty vehicles in Canada for every one sold among all Japanese brands during 2010. In the medium duty truck segment, Canada started production of commercial trucks (Class 4 – 7 trucks) in Woodstock Ontario in April 2006. Output in 2010 totaled 1,085 units, up 10.8% from 979 units built in 2009. Currently, all Hino production was built for the Canadian market.

Exports & Imports – 2010 For Japanese affiliated plants (Honda and Toyota), Japanese brand exports in 2010 jumped 46.4% to 590,302 units from 403,217 units in 2009 – an 80.1% export to production ratio for 2010. Exports rose as a result of recovering demand in the US. While the vast majority of exported vehicles were shipped to the US, 28,400 units were sent to other international markets in 2010. Total Japanese-brand light vehicle imports from all countries into Canada rose 14.2% to 400,189 units in 2010. Shipments from Japan increased 11.3% to 196,279 units in 2010, while imports from NAFTA (Japanese plants in the US and Mexico) rose 17.1% to 203,910 units, surpassing the total unit volume from Japan, an indication of the continuing localization within North America. Every year since 1993, Canada has been a net exporter of Japanese brand vehicles. Over the past 17 years, about 2.5 million more vehicles have been exported from Canada than have been imported from Japan, the US and Mexico combined. Moreover, three times as many Japanese brand vehicles were exported from Canada in 2010 than were imported from Japan. Exports > Imports

Exports (HCM, TMMC, CAMI 1999-2008) Imports from Japan, US, & Mexico Sales – 2010 While light vehicle sales in Canada for the 2010 calendar year recovered modestly, up 6.6% to almost 1.56 million units, Japanese automakers lost unit sales and market share in 2010. Combined light vehicle sales slid 3.9% in 2010 to 531,154 units, down over 21,000 units compared to 2009. Passenger car sales for Japanese brands declined 11.8% in 2010 to 330,446 units, while sales of light trucks increased 12.6% to 200,708 units compared to the previous year. Moreover, sales of vehicles built in NA slipped 3.2% to 348,226 units, while sales of vehicles imported from Japan fell 5.4% to 182,928 units. As a result, in 2010 about 65.6% of all Japanese brand light vehicles sold in Canada were built in North America, while 34.4% were imported from Japan. Japanese light vehicle market share fell to 34.1% in 2010 from 37.9% in 2009.
