Their record high investment stats – direct employment of over 108,000, the over $70 billion in cumulative manufacturing investment, the over $4.7 billion dedicated to research and development- and the fact that today, Japanese-brand automakers produce nearly one-third of all vehicles made in the U.S. tell a compelling and clear story. Japanese-brand automakers are committed to U.S. communities, consumers, and workers.
