Automotive division performance by business
- As a whole, the automotive market grew worldwide due factors such as the growth occurring in Asian markets and the economic recovery taking place in the North American market. This was in spite of depressed market conditions in Japan.
Automobiles
- Annual sales were lower by 21.1 billion yen year on year, which amounted to a 6% decrease to 354.4 billion yen due to decreased volumes of the RAV4 and the Vitz.
Engines
- Annual sales in the engine division were 197.1 billion yen, which was basically the same as sales during the previous year, with sales mainly of KD diesel engines increasing and AR gasoline engines decreasing.
Automotive air-conditioning compressors
- Sales of automotive air-conditioning compressor rose 14.7 billion yen year-on-year, an 8% increase, for a total of 206.5 billion yen due to increased sales in Japan and overseas.
Recent Developments in Japan
- The Company has begun to boost production of DC-DC converters in view of an increasing popularity of Toyota's recently launched compact "Aqua" hybrid, the company said on February 29. The DC-DC converter, which converts a high voltage of batteries on hybrids to 12 volt, is produced at the Anjo Plant in Aichi Prefecture. In 2011, Toyota Industries produced 60,000 converters a month on average for hybrids primarily for the Prius. The company is preparing to raise monthly production volume to more than 80,000 in February and March. In 2012, it plans to produce on the level of around 80,000 a month throughout the year. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on March 1, 2012)- The Company announced that it produced the 4 millionth DC-DC converter for hybrid vehicles at the end of February 2012. In May 2000, the company began its production of DC-DC converters for Toyota's first generation Prius at its Kyowa plant, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The Anjo plant in Aichi Prefecture also started the production of DC-DC converters in May 2009. Toyota Industries consolidated production of automotive electronics, such as DC-DC converters and AC inverters, to its Anjo plant in August 2011, and since then has been conducting a comprehensive production. (From a press release on February 29, 2011)
- The Company unveiled plans on December 1 to boost its domestic production capacity of electric compressors for car air conditioners by 50 percent to 1.5 million units from the current level by the end of 2012. Capacity will be enhanced by adding a new production line at the Kariya Plant in Aichi Prefecture, which is engaged in production of the product. While a hike in production capacity with an investment of about 900 million yen is meant to secure sufficient supply in response to growing demand from Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota Industries will continue its efforts for reduction of weight and size of the product in an attempt to expand its sales to other automakers as well. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on December 2, 2011)
Contracts
- The Company announced on May 16, 2011 that its proprietary resin panoramic roof, which is the world's largest of its kind, is used on the new Toyota Prius α (Prius alpha) hybrid. No other Japanese automaker has ever adopted a resin panoramic roof. Compared with a conventional panoramic glass roof, the new system is 40 percent lighter in product weight, contributing to reducing CO2 emissions. In addition, its lower center of gravity enhances maneuverability, while its larger open window area adds a greater sense of spaciousness and comfort to the vehicle interior. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on May 17, 2011)Mid-term Business Plans
- The Company Aichi Pref., Japan announced on Jan. 26, 2012 that it plans to increase production volume of its car air-conditioning compressors in the U.S. to seven million units, up 40% compared to the FY 2010 result. Now it mainly produces fixed-displacement type compressors in the U.S., while needs for continuous variable-displacement type compressors are expanding due to growing interest in fuel efficiency. Toyota Industries, therefore, will shift its major product to continuous variable-displacement type compressors, while increasing production. As of FY 2010, the fixed-displacement type consists of 70% of its whole compressors produced in the U.S. The company plans to replace it by the continuous variable-displacement type to make the latter a little less than 90% by FY 2016. It also plans to build a new plant for compressor parts, including pistons, to start production in September 2013, which is expected to raise the local content ratio. At present in the U.S., Toyota Industries manufactures compressors at its plants in Michigan and Georgia. It exports parts for the continuous variable-displacement type, which currently accounts for only 30% of its whole compressor output in the U.S, from Japan. Along with production expansion of the continuous variable-displacement type, it will optimize the parts supply operations. It will establish Toyota Industries Compressor Parts America, Co. (TICA) in Georgia in February 2012 (plan) and invest approx. 28 billion yen to construct a new plant. The new plant will have the production capacity of pistons and other parts for six million compressors to supply to the two compressor assembly plants. The increased continuous variable-displacement type compressors will be supplied to U.S. automakers as well as to Toyota Motor Corp. and other Japanese automakers in the U.S. After the autumn of 2013, compressor parts export from Japan to the U.S. will be discontinued. The parts production capacity in Japan will be allocated to supply for other regions including emerging markets. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on January 27, 2012)- The Company announced on Oct. 28, 2011 its long-term vision targeting for the FY 2020 consolidated sales of over three trillion yen. Compared to FY 2010 results, it aims to double the sales and almost treble the operating profit to over 200 billion yen. It plans to achieve 1.5 trillion yen (2.2-fold of the FY 2010 result), a half of the sales, in the solution business including industrial vehicles; 700 billion yen (triple) in the component business including compressors; and 800 billion yen (up 40%) in the automobile and engine business. While it will further improve its solid business of the industrial vehicles, it plans to expand the component business along with increasing use of electronics in vehicles. As the first step toward these targets, Toyota Industries will start the new mid-term business plan from FY 2012 through FY 2015. The mid-term targets include the sales of over two trillion yen, up 35.1% from FY 2010 and the operating profit of 140 billion yen, up approx. 100%. It will invest approx. 500 billion yen in facilities over the four years in order to enhance the business operations. As for technology, it plans to launch new products with innovative technologies in the areas of environment and energy in order to win larger orders.
