Sustainability Report 2015 Report Sustainability Sustainability Report 2015 Toyota has participated in activities of the WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) as a member of this organization. WBCSD engages in advocacy activities aimed at realizing sustainable development based on the three pillars of economic growth, environmental protection and social development. Cover design: The tree on the cover represents the Toyota Global Vision and illustrates what kind of company Toyota wants to be: the firm roots stand for Toyota’s shared values, the fruit for always better cars and enriching lives of communities, and the trunk for the stable base of business. The firm roots produce fruit and allow the trunk to grow thick and strong, ensuring the next crop of fruit. This virtuous circle reflects Toyota’s vision to be a company achieving sustainable growth.

Toyota’s origins can be traced back to the founding principle of contributing to society by making automobiles. By also making serious endeavors to resolve social issues related to vehicles, we are seeking to realize the Toyota Global Vision. When putting these efforts into practice, we will diligently reinforce True Competitiveness in order to grow as steadily as a tree adding annual growth rings, and take on the Challenges for the Future as we boldly work to create new value. Previous Fiscal Year’s Initiatives to Realize Toyota Global Vision Always Better Cars Toyota launched the MIRAI fuel cell vehicle in 2014. We began developing fuel cell technology toward the creation of the Ultimate Eco-Car in 1992 to help solve environmental issues such as global warming. Our predecessors chose fuel cell technology as the best of a range of different technologies, and began work on developing it. Now after more than 20 years of overcoming numerous technical difficulties and maintaining continuous development even during times of tough social conditions, last year we were finally able to open the curtain on a new hydrogen-based society. Going forward, we will continue to take on the Challenges for the Future so that we can make Always Better Cars. We will also provide attractive products that customers will choose, as we work to help solve social issues, including initiatives to promote widespread adoption of active safety technologies and promotion of research and development of automated driving technologies. ■ Enriching Lives of Communities Toyota cars are currently manufactured in 29 countries and sold in over 170 countries, so we feel an important responsibility to contribute to enriching the lives of every community where we do business. As an automobile manufacturer, Toyota has focused on the environment, traffic safety and other social issues. We have continued to conduct our social contribution activities while cooperating and building trusting relationships with local residents, non-profit organizations and experts. In 2014, we established the Toyota Mobility Foundation. We are utilizing the technologies and technical knowledge of Toyota as we work on issues related to mobility in the world in collaboration with universities, governments, non-profit organizations, research institutes and others. ■ Stable Base of Business Developing people is the key for a stable business foundation. Toyota is building a framework that will reliably and continuously develop human resources capable of carrying on its business activities on a global scale. Two of these initiatives are our QC Circle activities with 50 years of history that support increased vitality of employees and the work environment, and our 2014 Employee Driving Project in Australia that refines our cars and employees on a genchi genbutsu (on-site, hands-on experience) basis. Such initiatives are contributing to sustainable growth while sharing the values of our employees across the world. When Kiichiro Toyoda had a grand dream of developing an automobile industry in Japan, colleagues at the time were quick to respond, “Yes, let’s do it!” Since it was founded, Toyota has been on a journey that has brought it to this point, all the while being fostered by business partners and others. Going forward as well, the support of stakeholders in many different fields is essential as we take on the challenge of realizing the mobility society of the future. We will continue to strive to become a trusted, respected and valued company so that as many stakeholders as possible join us in our challenge with the words; “Yes, let’s do it!” We kindly request the continued support and understanding of all our stakeholders.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • "Rewarded with a Smile. Making Ever-Better Cars"
    The Paths Leading to the Future Vehicle Lineage connecting the dots into lines and surfaces to portray the 75-year history of Toyota "Rewarded with a smile. Making Ever-better Cars". Toyota has always been dedicated to producing cars that satisfy the pressing needs of the time. Car making is by no means an easy pursuit. It requires countless trials and errors, together with an undying passion to bring every vehicle and every component to perfection. Each model we've produced at Toyota epitomizes a particular moment or point in time. As one dot follows another, they form a timeline that represents a vehicle's growth path. It extends over time and across borders, growing with society and customers around the world. Together, the tra ectories of our many vehicles keep sculpting the history of Toyota. The Vehicle Lineage is a record of this process, as well as the dreams, passions, and progress of Toyota employees, whose only desire is to be rewarded with a smile of our customers. 1／10 1930 1935 1940 1945 1950 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2012 Toyoda Model AA [SD] 1st 1942.12 1936.04 Toyota Model AB 1938.09 Phaeton [SD] 1st 1936.09 Toyota Model AC [SD] 1st 1948.03 1943.03 Toyota Model AE [SD] ● 1939.08 1st 1943.07 1941.02 Full-scale production start Toyopet Model SA [SD] 1st 1952.05 1947.10 Toyopet Model SD [SD] 1st 1952.02 1949.11 Toyota Model SF [SD] 1953.10 1st 1951.11 Toyota Model SH [SD] 1953.10 1st 1953.07 Toyopet Super Model RH [SD] 1954.10 1st 1953.10 Crown Eight [SD] 1st 1967.07 1964.04 Century [SD]

  • Energy Behaviour of Toyota Prius Hybrid Vehicles in Sample Irish Com- Muting Conditions
    Energy Behaviour Of Toyota Prius Hybrid Vehicles In Sample Irish Com- muting Conditions Francesco Pilla1, Giovanni Russo2, Robert Shorten3 and David Timoney4 February 21, 2019 1Professor Pilla is with the School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy, University College Dublin. 2Professor Russo is with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University College Dublin, a member of the Lero Research Centre, and a member of the I-Form Research Centre. 3Professor Shorten is with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University College Dublin, a member of the Lero Research Centre, and a member of the I-Form Research Centre. 4Professor Timoney is with the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, University College Dublin. Executive Summary This document provides a summary of research that was conducted by ConsultUCD R . The objective of the research, which was commissioned and funded by Toyota Ireland, was to investigate the energy behaviour of the (new) Toyota Prius IV hybrid vehicle, under a set of conditions that may be considered representative of regular commuting patterns in Ireland. The research consisted of recording and analysing commuting data from seven volunteers, all of whom are employees of University College Dublin. Each vol- unteer was supplied with a Toyota Prius IV hybrid vehicle for one calendar week during the period November 4th-19th 2018. The overall test data was built from an ensemble of 157 individual trips, which when aggregated together, cover 2018 km. With the exception of GPS information, all measurements, including fuel con- sumption, were obtained directly from the standard Toyota sensors and on- board computer systems.
