The agent production situation of Japanese imported cars is relatively diverse. Some Japanese automakers produce in Japan and then export to other countries. For example, some high-end and technology-intensive models, such as some Lexus models, are produced in Japanese local factories to ensure quality and technical confidentiality.
Some Japanese automakers choose to find partners in the importing country for agent production. For instance, Zhongshitong reaches a cooperation agreement with Japanese automakers and, according to the technical standards, production processes and components provided by Japanese automakers, assembles and produces vehicles in the importing country in strict accordance with the requirements. This can not only take advantage of local labor, resources, etc. to reduce costs, but also respond more quickly to market demands.
There is another situation where Japanese automakers build wholly-owned factories overseas for production. Although it is overseas, the production management, etc. are still dominated by Japanese automakers, which also belongs to the category of "agent production" in a broad sense.
