Global Parts & Logistics

About Business

The Global Parts & Logistics Division has 167 sites operated by 109 subsidiaries in 38 countries around the world. By using these sites and our logistics networks and by establishing an optimally integrated parts logistics system, the division has established a global automotive parts supply chain. We aim to achieve sustainable growth together with our technologically skilled partners under the division’s Vision2030, which is to “change the concepts of production, transportation, and connection to fulfill our responsibilities to future society.”

In the area of production, our operations include tire and wheel assembly and other assembly businesses, a production business for airbag and other parts, as well as an interior and exterior parts and accessories business covering all aspects of operations from planning and development through raw materials procurement and processing. Furthermore, we promote circular manufacturing by recycling and reusing scraps generated during the manufacture of airbags and other products.

In the area of transportation, we successfully serve the diverse needs of our customers by using our global logistics network and supply-and-demand management functions. Also, we promote CO2 reduction in the field of logistics by working with partners that have digital technologies in areas such as logistics optimization, automation of warehouse operations, and the development and reuse of packaging materials used in transportation.

In the area of connection, we visualize the supply chain by combining the division's unique business partner network, manufacturing and logistics functions, and systems for managing global supply chains. We can provide solutions to manage disaster and other risks and centrally manage data, contributing toward solving issues faced by customers not just in the automobile industry but also in other industries.

To achieve these, we will continue to focus on the identification of advanced technologies and new materials and the development of new functions. Also, the division is promoting the social development of core and prospective functions by finding new business partners and customers and seeking to expand our network, including in the field of environmental solutions such as fuel cells.

Toward achieving carbon neutrality, we will take on challenges around the four pillars of energy conservation, renewable energy, alternative fuels, and electrified vehicles to fulfill our responsibilities to future society. We connect people, products, technologies, and society in environment-friendly ways and contribute to the development of a next-generation mobility society.

Initiative
  1. 1CL100 Project
    We aim to achieve circular logistics by implementing measures such as eliminating petroleum-based packaging materials and developing new logistics containers made of recycled plastic with the objective of logistics that leaves no waste.
  2. 23Rs of Parts and Materials
    We will focus on the 3Rs of parts and materials through initiatives such as starting a recycling business for nylon scraps generated during airbag manufacturing in Vietnam. We will contribute to the realization of a circular economy by promoting businesses that reuse waste.
  3. 2Next-generation Logistics Warehouses
    We are actively investing in logistics warehouses to build a sustainable supply chain. We will introduce large, automated warehouses/material handling systems to reform conventional operations that are highly dependent on human capital. This will allow us to address increasingly severe manpower shortages at logistics sites and improve storage capacity.
