This comment is included in light of the extremely important role that NUMMI played in the implementation of Toyota's global production policies and in Toyota's independent expansion into North America.
At the time, America's automakers were experiencing great difficulties resulting from the accelerating shift by buyers to compact cars in response to the second oil crisis in 1979. While Honda and Nissan decided to manufacture four-wheeled vehicles in the United States, Toyota's negotiations with Ford concerning joint production broke down. Consequently, Toyota established a joint venture business with General Motors, America's largest automaker, and produced its first vehicle at a plant in Fremont, California in 1984. Operations began with an initial joint venture term of 12 years from the start of production, but the arrangements continued for 25 years until August 2009. The joint venture by the top Japanese and American automakers was well received, and the mass media reported it as a symbol of both competition and cooperation between the auto industries of the two countries. At the International Labor Organization conference in 1986, the U.S. Secretary of Labor reported that NUMMI was a model plant for labor-management cooperation. Total production over 25 years was just under 5.7 million Toyota brand vehicles and a little more than 2.04 million GM brand vehicles, making a total of 7.74 million vehicles (see Table 2-1-3-2-1).
As a result of a shortfall in internal pension plan contributions and an insufficient response to the shift towards compact vehicles caused by rising gasoline prices as well as the effects of the subprime mortgage crisis and the collapse of Lehman Brothers, GM filed for protection under federal bankruptcy law in June 2009, and it essentially collapsed. GM was administered by the U.S. government and was forced to close domestic plants and reduce its labor force, and it decided to withdraw from NUMMI. Toyota considered whether to continue NUMMI following GM's withdrawal, but in the light of its production capacity in North America, decided that it had no choice but to discontinue production by NUMMI. The termination of production was announced in August 2009, and production ended in April 2010, closing the curtain on a 25-year history.
