****************************************************** ******************************************************"In August 2001, Toyota increased its ownership interest in Hino Motors, Ltd. by 13.6% to 50.2%. As a result, revenues and operating income for the automotive and all other segments in fiscal 2002 reflect the consolidation of the results of Hino from the acquisition date. Previously, Hino was accounted for using the equity method."
"Toyota?s subsidiary, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd., produces and sells mini-vehicles and compact cars. Hino Motors, Ltd., which became Toyota?s subsidiary in August 2001, produces and sells commercial vehicles. Toyota also manufactures automotive parts, components and accessories for its own use and for sale to others."
Mini-vehicles are manufactured and sold by Daihatsu. Daihatsu manufactures mini-vehicles, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and auto parts. Mini-vehicles are cars, vans or trucks with engine displacements of 660 cubic centimeters or less. Toyota also sells under its name certain automobiles (excluding mini-vehicles) manufactured by Daihatsu. Daihatsu sold approximately 580,000 mini-vehicles and 120,000 automobiles on a consolidated basis during fiscal 2005. Daihatsu?s largest market is Japan, which accounted for approximately 78% of Daihatsu?s unit sales during fiscal 2005.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"Toyota is committed to maintaining its market leadership in Japan by consistently striving for a market share (excluding mini-vehicles) of at least 40% every year. Toyota, excluding Daihatsu and Hino, held a domestic market share (excluding mini-vehicles) on a retail basis of 42.3% in fiscal 2003, 42.9% in fiscal 2004 and 44.5% in fiscal
2005. Amid the continued market downturn and despite increased competition from its domestic competitors, Toyota maintained its market share of over 44% in fiscal 2005 due to the active introduction of new car models such as, the Passo, the Isis and the Mark X. In the highly competitive Japanese market, Toyota is repositioning its retail channels under...""Toyota?s North American unit sales on a consolidated basis grew from
2.10 million units in fiscal 2004 to 2.27 million units in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2005, Toyota?s North American unit sales represented 31% of its total global unit sales on a consolidated basis. Toyota attributes its continuing success in the North American market to successful new product introductions such as Camry and Lexus RX330/Hybrid and strong sales of core models such as the Corolla, Camry, Highlander and Lexus RX330 and ES300.""In 2004, light trucks accounted for approximately 47% of Toyota's vehicle unit sales in the United States, while passenger vehicles accounted for approximately 53%."
Toyota?s European unit sales on a consolidated basis grew to approximately 980,000 vehicles in fiscal 2005, an increase of approximately 9.0% compared to fiscal 2004 levels, while the overall European automotive market in 2004 remained at the same level as the previous year.
Toyota?s European unit sales on a consolidated basis grew to approximately 980,000 vehicles in fiscal 2005, an increase of approximately 9.0% compared to fiscal 2004 levels, while the overall European automotive market in 2004 remained at the same level as the previous year. Toyota is committed to achieving further growth in Europe by expanding and targeting its model line to European preferences,
as well as enhancing cost competitiveness by increasing local production and procurement, thereby decreasing its exposure to currency fluctuations.
Furthermore, during fiscal 2005, Toyota continued to expand its cost-cutting efforts in production, development, and sales and marketing. The success of the Yaris, Corolla and RAV4 and the remodeled Avensis, which was introduced in 2003, has been a major factor behind Toyota?s growth in the European market. Sales of the Yaris, which in 2001 became the first Toyota model to pass the 200,000 mark in Europe, reached 233,000 units in 2004. Toyota believes that the Yaris is strengthening Toyota?s position in the European subcompact category and is an important factor in
improving Toyota?s overall brand image in Europe. Toyota?s manufacturing facility in France which produces the Yaris commenced operations in January 2001 and produced approximately 204,000 units in 2004. Annual production capacity at this facility reached 210,000 units in May 2004. Toyota also expects to increase the annual production capacity of its plants in the United Kingdom, which produce the Corolla hatchback models and the Avensis, from the current 220,000 units to 285,000 units in 2005.
Together with the increased annual production capacity at the Turkey plant, which manufactures the Corolla, in March 2004 from 100,000 units to
150,000 units, and those of the French and United Kingdom facilities, Toyota?s total annual production capacity in Europe is expected to increase from 580,000 units in 2004 to 745,000 units in 2005. In addition, the Czech Republic plant, which is a joint venture with PSA Peugeot Citroën, is expected to commence operations in 2005 with an annual production capacity of 300,000 units, of which 100,000 units will be for the Toyota brand. In March 2005, Toyota started the production of a new 2.2-litre diesel engine in Poland, which is used in the Avensis manufactured in the United Kingdom, with an annual production capacity of 180,000 units. In another move to expand European production capacity, Toyota built a transmission manufacturing plant in Poland, which commenced production in 2002.Toyota has achieved annual unit sales in Europe of 962,000 vehicles in
2004, and local production reached approximately 57% of Toyota vehicles manufactured for sales in Europe.The manufacture of vehicle models based on the IMV Project began in Thailand, Indonesia, India, Philippines and Malaysia in fiscal 2005. In the near term, Toyota will continue to operate its plants in the region and export products to meet the growing demand in Southeast Asia as well as the demand in other regions. Furthermore, Toyota is actively expanding its business in India and China through local production and sales. Toyota Kirloskar Private Motor Ltd. in India commenced sales of the Qualis, a multi-purpose vehicle aimed exclusively at the Indian market, in January 2000.
Local production and sales of the Corolla in India commenced in early
2003. In China, Sichuan Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. released the Coaster small bus, the first Toyota vehicle bearing the Toyota name, in April 2001. Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. Toyota?s joint venture with Tianjin FAW Xiali Corporation, Ltd., commenced sales in November 2002 of the VIOS.
