I would like to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and understanding of our company.
We wish to continue growing sustainably, like a tree adding annual growth rings, in order to ensure that we meet the expectations of the shareholders who support our company and give them every reason to continue holding our company’s shares.
We have developed an automobile design framework from the ground up to launch the new Prius, a vehicle that materializes our desire to “manufacture ever-better cars” and delivers not only heightened environmental friendliness but also vastly enhanced basic performance on points such as driving pleasure and riding comfort, as the first model under the “Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA).” We will continue to promote these efforts under the TNGA while strengthening our competitiveness through simple, streamlined and innovative Monozukuri (manufacturing) and human resource development. We will also make headway in our efforts to take on new challenges for the future by pursuing measures under the “Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050” to promote the popularization of hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles and reduce the levels of carbon dioxide emissions in production processes while developing automated driving technology toward the coexistence of safety, peace of mind and a driving experience of “Fun to Drive.” Through these efforts, we will strive to realize a future mobile society where people will continue loving automobiles for the next hundred years. We will also make initiatives for “enriching lives of communities” in unison with local residents through various activities that contribute to society such as projects to assist with the reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
With regard to our consolidated financial results for FY2016, consolidated net revenue was 28,403.1 billion yen and consolidated net income was 2,312.6 billion yen. We have determined to pay a year-end dividend of 110 yen per share of common stock. This, combined with the interim dividend of 100 yen per share of common stock, will result in a total annual dividend of 210 yen per share of common stock for FY2016. In addition, we have decided to repurchase treasury stock as a measure for returning profits to shareholders.
We will provide our customers with a steady succession of new automobiles they can drive with “pleasure and smiles,” sending each and every member of our global workforce of 340,000 employees out to the batter’s box to take on the challenge of “manufacturing ever-better cars.” We look forward to your ongoing support.

Notes:
1. | The information included in the above table is as of the date of this reference document for this General Shareholders’ Meeting. |
2. | Matters related to the candidates to become Outside Members of the Board of Directors are as follows: |
| (1) | Mr. Ikuo Uno, Mr. Haruhiko Kato, and Mr. Mark T. Hogan are candidates to become Outside Members of the Board of Directors. Each of them is registered as an independent director with the Japanese stock exchanges on which TMC is listed. Upon approval of their re-election pursuant to this Proposed Resolution, TMC plans to maintain such registration. |
| (2) | Reasons for their nomination as candidates to become Outside Members of the Board of Directors: |
| • | | Mr. Ikuo Uno has played an active part as an executive at Nippon Life Insurance Company over a number of years and possesses a wide range of knowledge and a wealth of experience in risks relating to business, investment and management among many industries. As we expect him to make use of this knowledge and experience for the management strategy of the Company, we nominate him as a candidate to become an Outside Member of the Board of Directors. Since assuming office as an Outside Member of the Board of Directors of TMC, he has actively expressed his opinions about issues on organizational operations from the viewpoint of sustainable growth of TMC based on his deep insight and knowledge regarding financial and capital markets. He has also played an important role as an Outside Member of the Board of Directors by advising the company on the formation of management guidelines on human resource development and response measures to business risks of TMC. |
| • | | Mr. Haruhiko Kato has served as Director-General of the Tax Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, Commissioner of the National Tax Agency, and has also held various other prominent positions in management of public finance of Japan, gaining a wealth of experience and highly specialized knowledge. He also has management experience with Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc. |
10
| As we expect him to make use of this knowledge and experience for the management strategy of the Company, we nominate him as a candidate to become an Outside Member of the Board of Directors. Since assuming office as an Outside Member of the Board of Directors of TMC, he has played an important role as an Outside Member of the Board of Directors by demonstrating his opinion and guidance from external, managerial and objective viewpoints on financial issues and operational risk management based on his highly specialized knowledge about financial and capital markets and finance. |
| • | | Mr. Mark T. Hogan has management experience in automotive-related companies, including General Motors Corporation. He also has served as an advisory board member for the Company regarding management issues. As we expect him to make use of this experience for the management strategy of the Company, we nominate him as a candidate to continue as an Outside Member of the Board of Directors. Since assuming office as an Outside Member of the Board of Directors of TMC, he has played an important role as an Outside Member of the Board of Directors by expressing many opinions on business strategy and marketing corresponding to market trends based on his deep knowledge about the automotive market in the Americas. |
| (3) | Panasonic Corporation, during Mr. Ikuo Uno’s period of service as an Outside Director, was fined by the European Commission (in December 2011) due to violations of antitrust laws in the refrigerator compressor business. Panasonic Corporation also agreed with the United States Department of Justice (in July 2013) and the Canadian Competition Bureau (in February 2014) to pay penalties due to violations of antitrust laws in the automobile parts business for certain customers. While Mr. Uno was unaware of all such violations until they were revealed, he consistently sought to ensure that business operations were conducted in compliance with applicable laws through his execution of his duties as a director. After the violations were disclosed, he confirmed the contents of the actions taken by the company to prevent recurrences. |
| (4) | Outline of limited liability agreements |
TMC has entered into limited liability agreements with Mr. Ikuo Uno, Mr. Haruhiko Kato, and Mr. Mark T. Hogan to limit the amount of their liabilities as stipulated in Article 423, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act to the minimum amount stipulated in Article 425, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act. Upon approval of their re-election pursuant to this Proposed Resolution, TMC plans to continue such agreements with them.

Proposed Resolution 2: Election of 1 Substitute Audit & Supervisory Board Member
In order to be prepared in the event that TMC lacks the number of Audit & Supervisory Board Members and it becomes less than that required by laws and regulations, we hereby request that 1 Substitute Audit & Supervisory Board Member be elected. The candidate to become a SubstituteAudit & Supervisory Board Member is as below.
This proposal is made to elect a substitute for either Ms. Yoko Wake, Mr. Teisuke Kitayama or Mr. Hiroshi Ozu, all of whom are currently Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members. In the event he becomes an Audit & Supervisory Board Member, his term of office shall be the remaining part of his predecessor’s term. This resolution shall be effective until the commencement of the next Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, provided, however, that this resolution may be cancelled before the proposed Substitute Audit & Supervisory Board Member assumes office, by a resolution of the Board of Directors, subject to the approval of the Audit & Supervisory Board.
The submission of this proposal at this General Shareholders’ Meeting was approved by the Audit & Supervisory Board.

| (4) | Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a company where Mr. Ryuji Sakai has served as an Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Member since June 2005, was involved in July 2011 in a case where a person in charge of development in one of its subsidiaries included data different from that produced through actual examinations in certain portions of application-for-approval materials for products (two products) developed in-house for medical institutions. Because of this, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. received a business suspension order for a period of 10 days. While Mr. Ryuji Sakai had been providing advice as appropriate concerning the importance of compliance with laws and regulations and how to thoroughly achieve such compliance at the Board of Directors’ meetings and the Audit & Supervisory Board meetings of the company, he was unaware of the facts of this incident until they were reported to him. Since the revelation of the facts, he has discharged his duties responsibly by strongly pressing for the establishment of measures to prevent recurrences and by conducting a hearing with the investigation committee of the subsidiary to investigate the causes of the case. At the same time, he has actively given advice in the company’s discussions to deliberate on the actions taken by the company to prevent recurrences. |
Proposed Resolution 3: Payment of Bonuses to Members of the Board of Directors
In consideration of the results for FY2016 and other factors, the 9 Members of the Board of Directors (excluding Outside Members of the Board of Directors) in office as of the end of FY2016 will be paid a total amount of 1,105,580,000 yen as Bonuses.

Business Report (Fiscal Year under review: April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016)
1. Outlook of Associated Companies
(1) Progress and Achievement in Operation
General Economic Environment in FY2016
Reviewing the general economic environment for the fiscal year ended March 2016 (“FY2016”), with respect to the world economy, the U.S. economy has seen ongoing recovery mainly due to steady progress of personal consumption, and the European economy has seen a moderate recovery in the eurozone. Meanwhile, weaknesses have been seen in China and other Asian emerging countries. The Japanese economy has been on a moderate recovery as a whole, while weakness could be seen in personal consumption and other areas.
For the automobile industry, although markets have progressed in a steady manner, especially in the U.S., markets in some emerging countries have become stagnant, and the Japanese market has slowed down mainly in the sales of mini-vehicles due to the tax increase. Meanwhile, the development of automated driving technology, as well as efforts toward improvement in environmental friendliness and safety, has made significant progress.
Overview of Operations
In this business environment, we are striving to manufacture “ever-better cars” in order to enhance the satisfaction of our customers worldwide. The new “Prius,” launched in December 2015, delivers not only heightened environmental friendliness but also – as the first model under the “Toyota New Global Architecture” – substantially enhanced basic performance such as driving pleasure and riding comfort. The “Sienta” was fully remodeled with a sporty exterior and a low-floor for a roomy interior. For overseas markets, we launched the new “Hilux” in Thailand and other regions as the first model of the new IMV series. The vehicle is equipped with a newly developed frame and engine to realize enhanced riding comfort and more powerful drive. The Lexus brand introduced a new model in the “RX” series, the leader in the premium crossover market.
In this way, we continued to actively launch new models in Japan and abroad and carried out vigorous sales efforts in collaboration with dealers in each country and region in which we operate. However, due to the stagnant market in Asia, the slowdown of mini-vehicle sales in Japan, and the suspension of production at plants in February 2016, global vehicle sales for FY2016, including the Daihatsu and Hino brands, decreased by 74 thousand units (or 0.7%) from FY2015 to 10,094 thousand units. As for profit improvement activities, we have made concerted efforts throughout the entire Toyota group such as implementation of cost improvement measures.
15
In addition to these activities, we established Toyota Research Institute, Inc. as a move to accelerate research and development in artificial intelligence, which has significant potential to support future industrial technologies.
With a view to creating a whole new set of values for cars, we entered into an agreement to build a mutually beneficial long-term partnership with Mazda Motor Corporation. Moreover, in order to further reinforce our small vehicle business, we entered into an agreement with Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. to make it a wholly-owned subsidiary. To strengthen our true competitiveness toward sustainable growth, we will endeavor to build cooperative relationships with other companies and to further strengthen our foundation within the Toyota Group.
We will also contribute to building an enriched society by extending support to sporting activities. Following the agreement with the International Olympic Committee in 2015, we signed a “Worldwide Paralympic Partner Sponsorship Agreement” with the International Paralympic Committee. We will strive to realize “freedom of mobility” for all people and to spread the “excitement of sports.”

Environmental and Safety Initiatives
Toyota group considers addressing both environmental and safety issues as one of its top management priorities.
With regard to environmental initiatives, we announced the “Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050” in October 2015 as a new initiative to contribute to global environmental sustainability. We have made headway in various efforts, including promotion of broader use of hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles as well as reduction of carbon dioxide emitted in production processes.
With regard to safety initiatives, we are proceeding with the global promotion of “Toyota Safety Sense,” a safety package equipped with functions such as collision prevention and mitigation, and optimal forward visibility enhancement during nighttime driving, with a view toward achieving high market prevalence. We have also begun to equip new Toyota models with “ITS Connect,” a cooperative safety system using vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Through these efforts, we work actively toward the development of ever-safer vehicles and technologies.
Activities in Pursuit of Attractive Vehicles
Toyota group works in pursuit of the enjoyment of vehicles and the joy of driving.
By widely applying the “Toyota New Global Architecture,” a technology that vastly enhances the basic performance and marketability of our vehicles, to the development of future models, we will make steady progress in our efforts to manufacture attractive vehicles.
Through initiatives such as our participation in the 24-hour Nürburgring endurance race in Germany, the World Rally Championship (WRC) starting in 2017, and the Five Continents Driving Project aimed at training and honing abilities to create better cars, we are making progress in our efforts to strengthen technology development capabilities and develop human resources.
18
Non-Automotive Operations
In non-automotive operations, we are creating new businesses that will lead the next generation and are actively developing businesses to meet diverse customer needs.
In financial services, we have actively developed our network throughout the world, including emerging countries, have built a robust business base through risk management, investment in information infrastructure, and human resources development, and have strengthened our balance sheet by improving our profitability. We plan to provide a broad range of support for the car experience of our customers in concert with our automotive operations by developing and providing financial products and services satisfying the needs of individual customers.
In the housing business, we are combining the technologies of the Toyota group companies to build advanced housing that is not only safe and comfortable but also aimed at non-emission of carbon dioxide.
We are also conducting a wide range of activities such as measures to expand the test operation of “Ha:mo,” an ultra compact electric vehicle car-sharing service, and to develop robotics technologies supporting nursing and healthcare.
19
(2) Funding
Funds necessary for the automotive business are mainly financed with funds from business operations. Funds necessary for the financial services business are mainly financed through the issuance of bonds and medium-term notes, as well as with borrowings. The balance of debt as of the end of FY2016 was 18,293.1 billion yen.
Toyota Motor Corporation issued 47,100,000 shares of the First Series Model AA Class Shares (the total amount paid in to TMC was 476.7 billion yen) in July 2015 in order to enhance our corporate value over the medium- to long-term through the pursuit and creation of development of cutting-edge innovative technologies.
(3) Capital Expenditures and R&D
As for capital expenditures, Toyota group has promoted activities to decrease expenditures through measures to make facilities simple, streamlined, and flexible, as well as measures to make more effective use of existing facilities. At the same time, Toyota group has focused on making expenditures on eco-cars such as hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, as well as expenditures contributing to the enhancement of its competitiveness in emerging countries. As a result, consolidated capital expenditures for FY2016 were 1,292.5 billion yen.
As for R&D expenditures, we made active investments to accelerate the development of next-generation technologies while also endeavoring to further improve development efficiency, for example through the reorganization of Toyota Technical Development Corporation. As a result, consolidated R&D expenditures for FY2016 were 1,055.6 billion yen.

(5) Issues to be Addressed
As for our future business environment, the U.S. is expected to continue recovering and Europe, chiefly in the eurozone, is expected to continue its moderate recovery. Meanwhile, China and other emerging countries are showing a risk of a slowdown. The Japanese economy is expected to recover gradually, supported by continuing improvements in employment and income conditions, although attention needs to be paid to an economic decline caused by a slowdown in emerging countries.
The automotive market is expected to progress steadily in developed countries, though concerns over slowdowns in emerging countries continue. In addition, measures to respond to environmental and fuel consumption regulations in various countries and to reinforce efforts toward the development of safety technologies are required, while companies in other businesses are newly venturing into the development of automated driving technology. Fierce competition is thus intensifying on a global scale.
In this severe business environment, Toyota group intends to steadily progress toward the realization of the Toyota Global Vision through sustainable growth based on the following policies:
First, we intend to contribute to the realization of a future mobility society through pioneering technologies, products and businesses. We will develop human resources who will foresee the future and courageously take on new challenges.
Second, we intend to reinforce true competitiveness in order to grow as steadily as a tree adding annual growth rings. We will thoroughly improve quality, establish new working methods to sincerely engage with “customers and cars,” and enhance our crisis management abilities for responding to crises of every type. In order to realize the above vision, we reorganized our corporate structure in April 2016 to establish a three-part structure: product-based in-house companies, region-based business units, and the head office. At the product-based in-house companies, streamlined operation from planning through manufacturing enables quick and independent decision-making. Within the region-based business units, we aim to build even more regional operations. The head office will work to formulate a medium- to long-term vision and management strategy, including an appropriate allocation of resources, with an eye toward the future.
Based on these initiatives, Toyota group will contribute to “enriching lives of communities” by providing “ever-better cars.” This is expected to encourage more customers to purchase Toyota cars and thereby lead to the establishment of a stable business base. By perpetuating this cycle, we will aim to realize sustainable growth and enhance corporate value. In addition, through full observance of corporate ethics such as compliance with applicable laws and regulations, Toyota group will fulfill its social responsibilities.
By staying true to its founding spirit of “contribute to society by Monozukuri, manufacturing,” Toyota group will move forward through the united efforts of its officers and employees toward the realization of the Toyota Global Vision with humility, gratitude and passion. We sincerely hope that our shareholders will continue to extend their patronage and support to us.

(6) Policy on Distribution of Surplus by Resolution of the Board of Directors
TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies, and it continues to work to improve its corporate structure to realize sustainable growth in order to enhance its corporate value. TMC will strive for the stable and continuous payment of dividends aiming at a consolidated payout ratio of 30% to shareholders of common stock while giving due consideration to factors such as business results for each term, investment plans and its cash reserves. In addition, TMC will pay a prescribed amount of dividends to shareholders of First Series Model AA Class Shares.
With regard to the repurchase of treasury stock, TMC will implement a flexible capital policy in response to business circumstance with a view to improving shareholder return and capital efficiency.
In order to survive tough competition, TMC will utilize its internal funds mainly for the early commercialization of technologies for next-generation environment and safety, giving priority to customer safety and security.

System to ensure the appropriateness of business operations and outline of implementation status of such systems
TMC has endeavored to establish a system for ensuring the appropriateness of business operations as a corporate group and the proper implementation of that system in accordance with the “Basic Policies on Establishing Internal Controls.” Each business year, TMC inspects the establishment and implementation of internal controls to confirm that the organizational units responsible for implementing internal controls are functioning autonomously and are enhancing internal controls as necessary, and findings from the inspection are reviewed at Corporate Governance Meetings and the Board of Directors’ meetings.

The relevant laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation that executives are to observe are listed in manuals distributed to all executives. Newly appointed executives undergo compliance education using these manuals when they assume office. |
33
| 2) | In executing business operations, matters to be discussed are properly presented to the Board of Directors and cross-sectional decision-making bodies in accordance with regulations that identify the matters to be discussed with decision-making bodies. Matters are then comprehensively examined before decisions are made. |

34
| 2) | TMC will ensure accurate financial reporting by issuing documentation on the financial flow and the control system, etc., and by properly and promptly disclosing information through the Disclosure Committee. |

| 3) | Regional CROs have been appointed to develop and oversee risk management systems for their respective regions under the supervision of CRO, who is responsible for global risk management of safety, quality, environmental and other risks. The organizational units responsible for risk management have established systems to collaborate with other regions, and these systems are reviewed and reinforced as necessary. |
| 4) | To prepare against disaster, Group/Region and all divisions have formulated business continuity plans (BCPs) for resuming production and restoring systems, among others, and they are continuing to improve these BCPs by conducting regular training (initial responses and restoration efforts) each year.

Policies are then put into practice at each level of TMC’s organization and these policies are managed consistently with the Global Corporate Hoshin. |
| 2) | TMC has adopted a field-oriented Group-wide organization in which each [in-house company], region, function and process is regarded as a “Group/Region” within which individual “divisions” play key roles in executing operations. Utilizing a system in which vice presidents make management decisions and oversee the execution from a medium- to long-term perspective while presidents, responsible officers and lower management oversee the execution of operations for each business unit, region and function, TMC is striving to strengthen its supervision over the execution of businesses and to accelerate operational decision-making and execution. |

TMC has 548 consolidated subsidiaries (including variable interest entities) and 54 affiliated companies accounted for by the equity method.
2. Basis of consolidated financial statements:
TMC’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), pursuant to the provision of Article 120-3, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies. Also, pursuant to the provision of the latter part of Article 120, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies, which applies mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 120-3, Paragraph 3 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies, certain disclosures and notes to the consolidated financial statements required under U.S. GAAP are omitted.
3. Standards and methods of valuation of securities:
Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. The acquisition cost of the securities is determined on the average cost method.
4. Standards and methods of valuation of inventories:
Inventories are valued at cost, not in excess of market, cost being determined on the “average-cost” basis, except for the cost of finished products carried by certain subsidiary companies which is determined on the “specific identification” basis or “last-in, first-out” basis.
5. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets:
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is mainly computed on the declining-balance method for TMC and Japanese subsidiaries and on the straight-line method for foreign subsidiaries. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on the straight-line method.
6. Standards of accounting for reserves:
Allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for credit losses are based primarily on the frequency of occurrence and loss severity. Accrued pension and severance costs are recognized based on the retirement benefit obligations measured by actuarial calculations less fair value of the plan assets.

[Tax effect accounting]
Deferred tax assets mainly relate to accrued expenses, impairment losses on securities, and allowance for retirement benefits, and are netted with valuation allowance. Deferred tax liabilities mainly relate to net unrealized gains on other securities. Because the revised tax act was enacted during the current fiscal year and the tax rates for corporate income taxes to be applied in subsequent fiscal years were changed, the amounts stated for deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted accordingly.

Due to parts shortages resulting from the Kumamoto Earthquake that struck Japan’s island of Kyushu in April 2016, production on vehicle assembly lines in Japan was suspended in stages starting on April 18, 2016 and production has been restarted in stages starting on April 25. It is uncertain how this suspension will affect Toyota’s financial results.

We have audited, pursuant to Article 444 (4) of the Companies Act of Japan, the consolidated financial statements, which consist of the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Toyota Motor Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for the fiscal year from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016.
Management’s Responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the latter part of Article 120 (1) of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 120-3 (3) of said Rules that allow the partial omission of the disclosure items required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making the risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the financial statements audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as examining the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion:
In our opinion, the above consolidated financial statements prepared by partially omitting the disclosure items required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with the provisions of the latter part of Article 120 (1) of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 120-3 (3) of said Rules present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of the corporate group which consists of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period covered by the consolidated financial statements.
Conflict of interest:
We have no interest in or relationship with the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.

Toyota Q&A
Q1. What aspirations do you bring to the quest to build “ever-better cars?”
A1. This sentiment can be traced to the words of Akio Toyoda, spoken upon his appointment as President of Toyota Motor Corporation seven years ago. He urged everyone at Toyota to go all out to build “ever-better cars.” At first, this statement caused considerable consternation within the company. Some employees wondered what exactly President Toyoda meant by “ever-better cars,” while others said it would be difficult to proceed without mention of the particular specs he had in mind. Seven years later, however, we hear few if any such comments. This is because the goal of “building ever-better cars” has become an unshakable axis of Toyota’s corporate activities.
[Employee Comments]
• | | “I strive to clearly grasp the true expectations of our customers, then press forward in the quest to build cars that exceed those expectations and trigger reactions of surprise when released on the marketplace.” |
• | | “Simply claiming that products are safe because the data says so is meaningless without supplying true peace of mind. Likewise, linking good performance to the data provided has no significance without actually sensing such quality when driving the vehicle. We continue the mission to build ever-better cars supported by far more than just data.” |
• | | “Above all else, developing a true fondness for the cars. This can refer to the driving, the design, the history – even just one part of the overall equation is fine. Then, devote consideration to what areas to enhance to approach the image of the cars personally embraced. Such “fondness” will provide the motivation to take all possible steps to build the cars being envisioned.” |
• | | “Whatever work is being performed, there are always links to cars. Those tasks in turn connect to the customers, even if they cannot be seen directly. In that sense, I remain devoted to attaining ever greater heights of perfection in each and every aspect of the workmanship.” |
66
• | | “Building ever-better cars demands effective human resource development. My goal is to collaborate as a team in raising the levels of knowledge and skills, and building outstanding cars that satisfy our customers.” |
• | | “There are no limits to what we can achieve in cars, and I will do everything in my capacity toward that end. What cannot be realized will be passed on as themes to the next generation, carrying on the pursuit of ever-bigger dreams.” |
Q2. Please explain “Toyota New Global Architecture” in easier to understand terms.
A2. Simply stated, TNGA refers to the initiative to revise the approach to car manufacturing at Toyota from scratch, in pursuit of the goals of “Vehicle designs that generate the desire to own the cars at first sight,” and “Driving performance that inspires customers to want to always drive the cars after their first ride.”
More specifically, this involves revamping the vehicle frame and lowering the center of gravity, as well as sweeping improvements in the performance of basic parts linked to “driving,” “turning” and “stopping.”
Along with that, based on our medium- to long-term product lineup vision, plans are being advanced to expand common use of basic parts and units between models, and other steps to promote greater efficiency and cost cutting. This is not limited to the planning and design stages, but likewise extends to parts procurement, manufacturing and all other aspects of car building. The resources accrued through this progress will be strategically reinvested to further raise the strength of Toyota products. Under the TNGA vision, we have embarked upon the work of putting this cycle into place.
67
Q3. What specific steps are you taking to meet the challenges of the future?
A3. Toyota is taking steady steps to meet all challenges that lie ahead. This includes the mission to realize a “hydrogen society” that began with the marketing of our “MIRAI” model, the introduction of driving support systems and other initiatives aimed at building a “society where everyone can enjoy safe, smooth and liberated mobility.”
This January, we established the Toyota Research Institute Inc. – a facility positioned to advance cutting edge research and development into artificial intelligence technology. Besides supporting the evolution of self-driving technology, we have high hopes for the role of artificial intelligence in exceeding the realm of mobility to contribute to improving people’s lifestyles, and building a more functional and fulfilling society in general.
At Toyota, we will continue to take the lead in meeting all challenges, working to begin the work of building an “even safer, more enjoyable and hope-filled world” over the coming 100 years.
Q4. Please discuss your decision to become a partner in the Paralympics, in addition to the Olympics.
A4. Toyota concluded partner agreements in March of last year with the International Olympic Committee, in November with the International Paralympic Committee, and this January with Special Olympics Nippon (an organization active in supplying persons with mental disabilities opportunities to participate in sports and compete in athletic events).
At Toyota, we fully subscribe to the Paralympic mission statement of “Realizing a society with participation by all,” and the keynote creed of the Special Olympics of “Promoting a society rooted in respect for diversity.” Based on this platform, we pledge to rise to all challenges in helping to realize “freedom of transportation” for all people, while energetically supporting efforts to extend the “excitement of sports.”
