Tariffs and political upheaval remain a concern for times ahead<\/h4>

The PCTC (Pure Car, Truck Carrier) market continues to show positive momentum, with vehicle production and exports increasing across key regions. In Japan, both production and exports grew in January, driven by strong demand, especially from North America. China also saw a rise in production, supported by solid domestic sales and steady export volumes. European exports from Japan declined, however, reflecting shifting trade patterns. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty remains, as President Trump has renewed threats of a 25% tariff on European car imports, which could impact future trade flows.<\/p>
