Engine business structure enhancement

To respond to Toyota Motor Corp.'s production increase and development area expansion, it will reinforce its development and production operations in the vehicle and engine divisions. In the vehicle division, it will strengthen development staff for diesel engines, whose growing demand is expected mainly in Europe, in an aim to further contribute to Toyota Motor Corp. especially in developing new products. Toyota Industries assembles the Vitz and the RAV4 for both export and domestic markets at its vehicle assembly plant in Aichi Prefecture.
