In Mexico, Japanese automobile production, as well as the number of Japanese firms, doubled in the last decade amid the Japanese business expansion boom. However, since 2016, after Trump&#8217;s election as us President, the expansion boom came to a halt. Simultaneously, the production of Japanese Original Equipment Manufacturers in Mexico, which had reached its peak in 2016, began to decline. This study argues that this sudden production decline before the COVID-19 pandemic was mainly due to the change in consumers&#8217; preference for pick-ups and SUVs in the US market because of the shale oil boom, rather than the so-called &#8220;Trump Shock.&#8221; It also examines the performances of the automobile industry in Mexico, including those of the Japanese assemblers, during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen La industria automotriz es uno de los motores del crecimiento económico de México. En México, tanto la producción automotriz japonesa como el número de las empresas japonesas se duplicaron en la década de los 2010 con el auge de la expansión de negocios japonesa. Sin embargo, la expansión se ha estancado de repente desde 2016, cuando Trump fue elegido como el Presidente de los Estados Unidos. Simul-táneamente la producción de las ensambladoras japonesas comenzó a reducirse después de haber llegado al tope en 2016. Este artículo presenta un argumento de que esta inesperada reducción productiva, que había ocurrido antes de la pandemia, se debió mayormente al cambio de preferencia del mercado estadounidense a pick-ups y SUVs, que a las incertidumbres a causa de las políticas de Trump contra México. Además, examina el desempeño de la industria automotriz en México durante los primeros dos años de la pandemia, incluyendo el de las ensambladoras japonesas.]]></p></abstract>
