For Akio Toyoda, The Business of Making Cars Has Always Been Personal: Akio Toyoda’s departure from the role of president and CEO of the world’s biggest auto maker is relatively recent. We’ll have to wait for history to judge Akio’s 13-year tenure as Toyota’s chief executive, but, by most accounts, Akio’s leadership was exactly what Toyota needed to overcome the challenges it faced in… Read more... #car #cars #awesome

🚗 #Cross-Badging in the #Automobile Industry: Unveiling the Toyota-Suzuki Partnership In the ever-evolving automotive landscape, cross-badging has become a common strategy among manufacturers. Let's delve into the fascinating world of cross-badging and explore why companies like Toyota and Suzuki engage in this practice. 1. Urban Cruiser Hyrider and #Innova Hycross: These two Toyota models are indeed manufactured at the Toyota Kirloskar factory. However, they wear different badges when sold by #Suzuki: the Urban Cruiser becomes the Suzuki Invicto, while the Innova Hycross transforms into the Suzuki Grand Vitara¹. 2. Suzuki's Lineup: Suzuki reciprocates by producing the #Ertiga, #Brezza, #Baleno, and #Fronx in their own factory. Toyota then cross-badges these models as the Rumion, Urban Cruiser, #Glanza, and #Taisor, respectively¹. 3. Why Cross-Badging?: The rationale behind cross-badging lies in cost-sharing and inventory optimization. By collaborating, #Toyota and Suzuki reduce Research & Development expenses while streamlining their product offerings. It's a strategic move to cater to diverse customer preferences without duplicating efforts⁶. 4. Industry Trends: Cross-badging isn't unique to Toyota and Suzuki. Other automakers, such as #Nissan & #Renault, #Hyundai & #Kia, and Volkswagen & Skoda, have similar arrangements. Recently, Nissan and Honda, #Japan's second and third-largest manufacturers, announced a joint effort to co-develop fully electric cars⁶. 5. #Electric Future: As the automotive world shifts toward electrification, both Toyota and Suzuki face critical decisions. Will they invest in mild/strong hybrids, plug-in hybrids, #hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, or fully #electric cars? The answer will shape their future offerings and impact the #industry as a whole⁶. In conclusion, while cross-badging may raise eyebrows, it serves as a pragmatic solution for automakers navigating a complex landscape. As consumers, let's appreciate the innovation and #collaboration that drive our favorite #cars forward! 🌟🚀

Toyota last year sold one in five of every new car in Australia, its best ever year even amid decades of dominance. #Ford was left eating #Mazda, #Kia, #Hyundai and #Mitsubish’s dust, trailing in sixth place after a supply-marred year. But a year makes a huge difference. Now #Toyota is now going backwards, fast (-21 per cent year-to-date). Ford is surging, up nearly 40 per cent and it’s overtaken Mitsubishi Hyundai and in the last week or two has roared past Kia, though August sales data will confirm that early next month. https://lnkd.in/g9T_4AJi #automotive

“Toyota's new chief Koji Sato vows to get serious about EVs” “Faced with 'once in a century' industry transformation, world's biggest carmaker may be prisoner of past success” SAYUMI TAKE, Nikkei staff writer MARCH 29, 2023 “TOKYO -- Koji Sato said "yes" to the question, but his answer may have been barely audible over the roaring race car engines and cheering fans. It was mid-December at a motor sport circuit in Thailand and Sato had casually been asked whether he would take over as president of the world's biggest carmaker, Toyota Motor, where he has worked since 1992. Waiting expectantly next to him was his mentor and third-generation scion of Toyota's ruling dynasty, Akio Toyoda, who was planning to step down in April after 13 years at the helm.” “The bespectacled, soft-spoken 53-year-old Sato assumes his duties on the first of April and will have to guide Toyota through perhaps its biggest transformation since the former textile machinery manufacturer produced its first car in 1937. As the era of the combustion engine gives way to new energy vehicles, Toyota needs to navigate this treacherous path without losing its place as the top-selling car group in the world.” https://lnkd.in/eTSkq-uD?
