Chairman Akio Toyoda, the automotive industry, the automotive industry is 2.5 %, tax payment is about 10 trillion yen, and the shareholder return amount is about 11 trillion yen, "Sustainable to a wide stakeholder".

Five emphasis efforts in 2022

　On January 27, the Japan Society (Japan Automobile Industry Association) held the first press conference in 2022.At the press conference in 2022, Chairman Akio Toyoda (President and CEO of Toyota), Vice Chairman Seiichi Nagatsuka, Vice Chairman Shohiro Hidashi (President of Yamaha Motor President and CEO), Vice Chairman Masanori Katayama (President of Masanori Katayama (Isuzu Motor).President and Vice President Makoto Uchida (President and Chief of Executive Officer, Nissan Motor Executive Executive Officer), Vice Chairman Toshihiro Mibe (President and CEO Honda), Toshihiro Suzuki (President of Suzuki), four wheels., Motorcycle, commercial vehicles and all vice chairs attended.

　At the beginning of the conference, Mr. Toyota said, "I would like to thank all the people who are working hard every day to keep turning the economic society, including medical workers, based on the situation where Omicron stocks are rapidly expanding to society."Masu," he said, "Due to the lack of parts and the effects of corona, the delivery date of new cars is longer. We apologize for the inconvenience to customers who are looking forward to it.I apologize for the message to the car purchase user, and thank the people involved in the automotive industry, saying, "I would like to thank all of all of those who responded in such a situation."I wrote the words.

　Chairman Akio Toyoda looked around the Tokyo Auto Salon, the big event of the new year, and said, "The car industry is connected and supported by each other. Above all, the car is fun.That was. I will create a fun future no matter how much the times change. If we do it, we can make it more fun. I felt the important starting point again and started the New Year. "。

　And in the first board of directors, the priority activity item in 2022 is 5 from the perspective of "what we are aiming for is to create a society that makes everyone happy around the car."I set some themes.

　In 2022, he will work on "growth, employment and distribution efforts", "tax reform", "carbon neutral", "CASE (automatic driving / digital)", and "automotive industry fans".

　Regarding the efforts of growth, employment, and distribution, "all of these themes are growth and distribution. Next month, Prime Minister Kishida will be at the center of policy, ahead of spring labor and management negotiations.So today I would like to express my thoughts on this point. The automotive industry has been working on reduction and distribution to all stakeholders so far. In two years, employment has increased by 220,000.We are. If the average annual income is 5 million yen, it will be calculated to spend 1.1 trillion yen in the household. The average wage increase in recent years is 2..It is 5 %, the highest in all industries, and the cumulative tax payment for automakers for 12 years is 10 trillion yen and the shareholder return is 11 trillion yen.In addition to employees, we have been sustainable to a wide range of stakeholders, including business partners and shareholders.In order to expand this further, it is necessary to increase the pie, that is, grow.I believe that growth is not a part of wealth, but that the fruits are wide and everyone needs to smile.How will the growth be realized?Since the collapse of the bubble, Japan's economic growth has stagnated and financial assets, personal savings, and various possessions have been stayed in a deflationary society where the end is invisible.I think it is necessary to move this and turn it bigger. "

　As a specific plan for turning that, the number of cars for cars, which has been more than 15 years in recent years, is about 10 years, saying, "The market size is currently 5 million to 8 million units.I will be. As a result, the car shipment is 7.It increases by 2 trillion yen, new employment is born, and money is spinning on the entire value chain.Tax revenue is equivalent to 1 % consumption tax 2.The sales will increase by 5 trillion yen. "

　Of course, in order to do this, it is important to work on the tax system, such as setting an incentive for holding and purchasing a new car.The total amount is now borne by automotive users, which is also covered by "tax reform" and "carbon native".While it is necessary to review the tax burden of 6 trillion yen, fuel -related taxes that will decrease by the shifting of society to carbon neutral are simply not added to the car body -related tax, and the direction of the tax system.Gender requested to go to the carbon native society.

　What I especially emphasized was that the automotive industry has been working on growth and distribution continuously.Every year, about 3 trillion yen for R & D expenses, about 3 trillion yen for capital investment expenses, about 1 trillion yen for shareholder returns, and about 2 each year with wage increase..Five%.In addition, in battery investment, which is related to carbon nector, has invested about 3 trillion yen in Toyota, Nissan, and Honda.The society is widely understood that this is being carried out, and instead of simply applying taxes on cars that are easy to pay, it will support the support of the automotive industry.
