Japan to lift car export restraints in 1986
Tokyo plans to end the voluntary restraint on auto exports to the United States at the start of fiscal year 1986 and halt a five year trade concession aiding U S automakers. An ITI official said there will be no extension of the 2.3 million vehicle ceiling for 1985. Toyota will build a 200,000 car plant in Georgetown Kentucky starting 1988. Three Japanese automakers are building or planning U S plants.
