  • 50Th Anniversary of Toyota Corolla
    Press Release Brussels, 14 September 2016 50th anniversary of Toyota Corolla • Corolla is the world’s best-selling model • More than 44 million units have been sold in 150 countries • 50 years on, Corolla remains true to the model’s original DNA 2016 marks another great milestone for the Toyota Corolla, as the world’s most popular car celebrates its 50th anniversary. The first Toyota Corolla was introduced to Japan in 1966. Available in two distinct body styles (two- and four-door saloon, and two-door estate), the Corolla was designed to be a “people’s car”, nevertheless it displayed superior build quality and was lavishly equipped with features that were normally only seen on higher segments. It featured a floor-mounted gear lever that was remarkable at the time. Separate bucket-type seats provided firmly padded front occupant support, while the rear bench offered so much space and comfort that it was likened to a living room sofa. Although the car was classed as a compact vehicle, its elevated roof height made the interior feel exceptionally roomy. Originating from the Latin term for ‘crown of flowers’, the name “Corolla” was chosen in the hope that the vehicle would bloom in the automotive market. And that’s exactly what it did: within three years the first generation Corolla became the top-selling vehicle in Japan, and sales quickly spread to other countries around the world. In‑depth analysis and the incorporation of customer feedback have been integral to the development of each new generation of Corolla. As a result, Toyota has built on the philosophy behind the creation of the first Corolla -a car of superior quality, durability and reliability (QDR)- with a determination to exceed customer expectations in every key area highlighted by their feedback.

  • Automobile Assembly Parts Market
    Introduction Throughout the era of high economic growth, the Japanese automobile parts industry grew consistently. However, the collapse of the bubble economy saw the industry enter a downturn, and with competition in the automobile industry intensifying worldwide, it now finds itself confronting a period of great upheaval. The transition engulfing the automobile parts manufacturing industry can be characterized as follows: • Production volumes in the parts manufacturing industry are declining as domestic demand for automobiles decreases. • Demands for price reductions are growing stronger. • As automobile manufacturers expand their overseas manufacturing operations, they demand that parts manufacturers have an overseas presence. • As automobile manufacturers seek to optimize their supply chains, they more readily conduct business with companies that do not belong to their conglomerates. • Environmentally friendly technology is supported. • Modularization is supported. • Competition is intensifying as foreign parts manufacturers enter the Japanese market. In this changing business environment, the differences between Japanese parts manufacturers are being magnified. With companies increasingly willing to do business outside their conglomerates, foreign parts manufacturers are coming in and stirring up the Japanese market, and even eclipsing their Japanese counterparts. At the same time, Japanese parts manufacturers are being forced to take on their foreign competitors, and are increasingly undertaking mergers with a view to forming companies that can supply integral systems. Hence, it is likely that the on-going shake-up in the automobile parts industry will continue. This report does not cover all automobile parts, but specifically focuses on assembly parts for new automobiles. It covers the present structure of the market, relevant laws and regulations, and changes in business practices, as well as discussing prospects for the future.
