Japan’s Prime Minister’s Office Minister Takaichi Sasaki will travel to Germany to push for more favorable treatment of Japanese electric vehicle manufacturers in the European Union’s upcoming regulatory framework. The move comes as Japan seeks to secure a competitive edge amid rising trade tensions and stricter EU emissions standards. With the bloc set to finalize rules that could impact market access for non-European automakers, Tokyo is pressing for exemptions or adjustments to level the playing field. The discussions follow growing concerns over potential barriers to Japanese EV exports in the world’s largest single market.
