Following the problem that truck maker Hino Motors submitted incorrect data on engine emissions and fuel consumption to the country and the certification required for production was revoked, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has time to resume production. Therefore, we decided to take measures to support the small and medium-sized enterprises that had transactions.
It was discovered that Hino Motors had submitted incorrect data to the government regarding the emissions and fuel consumption of the four types of engines it manufactures and obtained the "type approval" required for production, and the government installed this engine. I have revoked the certification of my bus or truck.
The target vehicles account for 35% of domestic sales, and production will not be possible until the certification is renewed, so the impact is spreading to small and medium-sized enterprises that have transactions such as delivering parts.
For this reason, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has decided on support measures to make it easier for these SMEs to receive loans from financial institutions.
Specifically, it is called "Safety Net Guarantee No. 2", and the Credit Guarantee Association will set up a guarantee limit of up to 280 million yen in addition to the normal guarantee limit on condition that sales have decreased by a certain scale. ..
In addition, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will respond to consultations through the counters set up at the Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Credit Guarantee Associations in each region.
