Mr. Ryugo Toji of MLIT explained and presented the EV market situation in Japan and its governmental effort for the related regulation including introduction of GTR. OICA asked whether a Japanese manufacturer must follow the Japanese national requirement or ECE. MLIT answered that the national requirement will be valid till the official introduction of ECE regulation such as ECE-R100 in 2014. He also answered to the question from EC as MLIT has an intention to harmonize current existing national supplemental requirement with ECE once it would be established. |
