The trade war forces "Mazda" to sacrifice a part of the production of cars

A spokeswoman for Mazda Motor said on Friday that the company would stop exporting one of its models to Canada, produced in the United States, as a temporary measure to counteract the Tarit duties imposed by Canada in response to the definitions set by US President Donald Trump. The Japanese automotive industry will stop producing the sports vehicles “CX -50” aimed at Canada on May 12 in its factory in Alabama, which is concerned about the production of “CX -50”, which is aimed at other markets other than Canada, it will continue as usual. The Japanese newspaper “Nikai” was the first to publish the news of “Mazda” decision to stop the export of “CX -50” cars to Canada. The trade war drives the car businesses entered the customs duties that Trump imported with 25% on vehicles and imported parts, as well as the retaliation taken by Canada, “Mazda” and other foreign brands to set careful situations based on the balance between mitigating immediate liabilities. Japanese car businesses have a major exposure to the border restrictions imposed by the United States, given the importance of the US market and the large sales size for it. The ‘CX-50’ of Klein User Sport Cars (Crossover) formed about 15% of a total of about 72,000 passenger cars sold by ‘Mazda’ in Canada in the year 2024. Trump’s fees could increase the prices of passenger cars in the United States by more than 14%, according to Christopher Richter, chief analyst at CLSA Squarez Gaban (CLSA Securities Japan). Earlier this week, Husing fees on cars gave Trump the possibility of temporarily stopping the imposition of customs duties on the automotive industry, but he did not clarify the duration of this possible stop. Trump announced the imposition of customs duties on cars at the end of March, provided the customs duties enter full cars on April 3, while fees on auto parts start after 30 days. While Toyota Motor said it would continue its current plan at the moment, Nissan Motor announced that it would stop receiving the requests of Multi -usage Sports Car (SUV) manufactured in Mexico and being directed to the US market. Honda Motor also said on Wednesday that it would transfer the production of the hybrid version of his Civic from Japan to the United States.
