Automotive

Exports and retailing

Customer service

The Automotive Division exports passenger vehicles, trucks and their parts, manufactured in Japan by the Toyota Group and other companies, to more than 150 countries worldwide. The Division also exports automobiles made by manufacturers overseas to third-party countries, and engages in wholesale and retail sales of automobiles overseas.

The Division is expanding its automobile sales network to various countries around the world, with the view to shifting its focus from export-centered business to boosting overseas retail businesses firmly rooted in local markets. The Division also leverages Toyota Tsusho’s role as a general trading company to fulfill a vital information-gathering function.

We do this by drawing on our close ties with business locations in each country to obtain market information on risks, local market trends and customer needs in a timely manner. We then use this information as feedback to plan and develop production and marketing strategies for automakers.
