Toyota Tsusho Corporation ("Toyota Tsusho") announces it has established Toyota Tsusho Leasing d.o.o. ("TTL"), an automobile sales finance company, in Slovenia. The new company started doing business in all nine Toyota dealers in Slovenia from September 1, 2021.

Toyota Tsusho has expanded its business within Slovenia since joining the automotive distributor business in the country in 1998 with the establishment of Toyota Adria d.o.o. ("TAD"). It now has a total of nine dealers in Slovenia, selling approximately 2,500 Toyota vehicles per year. This new business will be carried out within TAD's sales business scope, based on the European sales strategy of Toyota Motor Corporation. The aim is to supply products that meet the changing needs of customers, which are shifting from automobile ownership to automobile use, by making it possible to propose not only vehicle sales but also vehicle leasing.

TTL will work together with TAD to supply financing products. It will not only provide support for customers' purchases of automobiles, but will also offer full service leases that combine vehicle maintenance and vehicle leases. By meeting customers' needs, it will contribute to greater sales of Toyota vehicles, improve customer loyalty, and further increase the value of the Toyota brand.
