 | Sectors: Organisation of logistics is one of the most important steps that an enterprise has to consider. This involves activities that concern the process of planning, implementation, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption, and perhaps to its ultimate point of disposal as well.

| In 2012, Japan's automotive sector employed over 5.45 million people and was worth some 47.3 trillion yen. Both its exports and imports (mainly from the EU) are currently increasing despite Japanese consumers’ strong preference for “buying Japanese”. The sector is heavily influenced by new environmental standards, which are the most stringent in the world. For more information, please see below: | |
| Japan's high-tech car industry is pioneering electric vehicle use, installing charging points and attempting to set a new global standard. Japanese laws regarding car emission levels are different from the EU's and are not standardised, so it is important to ensure that your products meet both Japanese and EU emissions standards.
