Leaders of the Japanese used vehicle export industry are visiting Australia to research the country’s automotive scene and its potential as a market.
An 18-strong group from the Japan Used Motor Vehicle Exporters Association (JUMVEA), are on the tour, being assisted by the Australian Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association, sponsors, and other members of the used vehicle trade.
Included in the delegation are chairman Hiroshi Sato and vice-chairman Yoshiharu Warashina.

AIMVIA chief executive David Vinsen says the trip is a fact-finding study venture.
“They are looking at compliance facilities, they are looking at the political landscape, they are looking at opportunities,” he says.
JUMVEA has had a long association with AIMVIA’s sister organisation in New Zealand and Vinsen expects the relationship with AIMVIA to be as fruitful.
The group arrived yesterday and are here until Friday.
