"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. In April 2003, Toyota and China FAW Group Corporation
agreed to jointly produce four different Toyota-brand vehicle models
in China. Under the agreement, production of the Corolla started at
the first plant of Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. with an annual
production capacity of 30,000 in February 2004; production of Land
Cruiser vehicles started at the Chang Chun Plant of China FAW Group
Corporation with an annual production capacity of 10,000 in October
2003; production of the Land Cruiser Prado started at Sichuan Toyota
Motor Co., Ltd. with an annual production capacity of 5,000 in
September 2003; and production of the Crown luxury car started
production at the second plant of Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.
with an annual production capacity of 150,000 in March 2005. In March
2004, Toyota and China FAW Group Corporation established a joint
venture, FAW Toyota Changchun Engine Co., Ltd., which plant commenced
the production of V6 engines in December 2004 with an annual production
capacity of 130,000 units. Further in September 2004, Toyota and China
FAW Group Corporation executed a basic agreement to cooperate in the
promotion and development of hybrid vehicles in China and are discussing
to commence the assembly of the Prius in China during 2005. In February
2004, Toyota and Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. established a
joint venture, Guangqi Toyota Engine Co., Ltd., which plant is expected
to commence the production of engine parts and gasoline engines in 2005.
Further in September 2004, Toyota and Guangzhou Automobile Group Co.,
Ltd. established a joint venture, Guangzhou Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.,
which plant is expected to commence the production of the Camry in
mid-2006 with an annual production capacity of 100,000.
