Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda, Subaru and Mitsubishi Motors, plans to in fiscal year 2016 input of approximately $2.8 billion ($857 billion yuan), to create a more environmental friendly technology and automatic driving a car. Budget for fiscal year 2015 (as of March 2016) year on year growth of 2.4%.

Key aspect:

1, TOYOTA and BMW, Honda and the common form of cooperation, joint research and development of fuel cell power vehicles, reduce costs. Toyota plans in fiscal year 2016 investment 1.07 trillion yen as research and development costs, compared with fiscal year 2015 up 1.4%, accounted for 4.1% of its sales, to speed up the fuel battery powered cars and plug-in electric hybrid car, automatic driving vehicle and artificial intelligence technology research and development.

2, Nissan plans to increase the cost of research and development 5.3% to 560 billion yen, to accelerate the development of electric vehicles, as well as from bio fuel to generate power battery.

3, SUZUKI will increase the cost of 6.9% to 140 billion yen, the development of eco friendly cars and new models.

4, Mazda's R & D costs will be increased from 7.2% to 125 billion yen, to improve the fuel economy of its models.

5, Fuji heavy industry research and development costs will rise 17.2% to 120 billion yen, to launch in 2021, the battery car.

6, MITSUBISHI plans to invest 97 billion yen, an increase of 23.3% year on year.

7, Honda cut research and development costs, down 4.1% to 69 billion yen, but plan a fiscal year 2015 put more funding for research and development of automatic driving vehicle and in September in Tokyo opened a new artificial intelligence research institute.

Comment：

As the most potential of the development of automatic driving and new energy technology, black car prices in Japan, the U.S. capital market over the past two years has been overshadowed by. There are days before the Japanese companies because of the reasons for patent technology, the direction of research and development in the direction of hydrogen energy vehicles and other cattle more black technology.

If the Japanese companies, such as the most cattle mixed with TOYOTA, has a pure electric car Leaf Nissan, the power to launch, it really can imagine a large set of black technology will come.
