COMPANY OVERVIEW:
1. TOYOTA CORPORATE OVERVIEW:
Founded in 1937, Toyota Motor Corporation is a
Japanese company that engages in the design,
manufacture, assembly, and sale of passenger cars,
minivans, commercial vehicles, and related parts
and accessories primarily in Japan, North America,
Europe, and Asia. Current brands include Toyota,
Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino. Toyota Motor
Corporation is the leading auto manufacturer and
the eighth largest company in the world. As of
March 31, 2013, Toyota Motor Corporation’s
annual revenue was $213 billion and it employed
333,498 people.
HISTORY
In 1924, Sakichi Toyoda invented the Toyoda Model
G Automatic Loom. The principle of jidoka, which
means the machine stops itself when a problem
occurs, became later a part of the Toyota Production
System. Looms were built on a small production
line. In 1929, the patent for the automatic loom was
sold to the British company Platt
Brothers, generating the starting capital for
automobile development.
1940s
Japan was heavily damaged in World War II and
Toyota's plants, which were used for the war effort,
were not spared. On August 14, 1945, one day before
the surrender of Japan, Toyota's Koromo Plant was
bombed by the Allied forces. After the surrender,
the U.S.-led occupying forces banned passenger car
production in Japan. However, automakers like
Toyota were allowed to begin building trucks for
civilian use, in an effort to rebuild the nation's
infrastructure. The U.S. military also contracted
with Toyota to repair its vehicles in the year 1990s.
Toyota began to branch out from producing mostly
compact cars by adding many larger and more
luxurious vehicles to its lineup, including a full-sized
pickup, the T100 (and later the Tundra), several
lines of SUVs, a sport version of the Camry, known
as the Camry Solara. They would also launch newer
iterations of their sports cars, namely
the MR2, Celica, and Supra during this era.
December 1997 saw the introduction of the first-
generation Toyota Prius, the first mass-
produced gasoline-electric hybrid car. The vehicle
would be produced exclusively for the Japanese
market for the first two years.

INTERNAL ENVIROMENT OF
TOYOTA:
Core Competency: The core competence of Toyota
Motor Corporation is its ability to produce
automobiles of great quality at best prices, thereby
providing a value for money to the customers. This
core competence of quality can be attributed to its
innovative production practices. The quality aspect of
Toyota’s products have revolutionized the automobiles
in the past and almost all the automobile companies
had to try and better the quality of their products. It is
a cornerstone of the cost leadership strategy that the
company pursues.
Distinctive Competency: Toyota’s distinctive
competence is its production system known as the
“Toyota Production System” or TPS. TPS is based on
the Lean Manufacturing concept. This concept also
includes innovative practices like Just in Time,
Kaizen, and Six Sigma and so on. Toyota has worked
tirelessly over the years to establish this distinctive
competence. No other automobile manufacturer can
do it as well as Toyota does. This distinct competence
has led to a competitive advantage that has given
Toyota a sustainable brand name and a market leader
position.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths:
Strong market position and brand
recoginition; Toyota has a strong market position in
different geographics across the world. The company's
market share for Toyota and Lexus brands, (excluding
mini vehicles) in Japan was 45.5% in FY2012.
Similarly, Toyota has a market share of 12.2% in
North America, 13.4% market share in Asia
(excluding Japan and China), and 4.3% market share
in Europe. In addition, the company holds a 7% share
of the Chinese market and a significant market share
in South and Central America, Oceania, Africa and
the Middle East regions. Such strong market position
allows the company to gain competitive advantage and
also expand into international markets. In addition,
Toyota holds a portfolio of strong brands in the
automotive industry. Thus, the company's strong
market position gives it significant competitive
advantage and helps it to register higher sales growth
in domestic and international markets.
Weaknesses:
Product recalls could affect brand image:
Toyota has conducted a number of product recalls in
the recent past, which could affect the brand image
and overall sales of the company. For instance, in
2011, Toyota recalled 111,000 models of Toyota and
Lexus brands’ vehicles due to the damage to elements
of the substrate and potential shutdown of the hybrid
system. Further in the year, Toyota recalled 181,000
vehicles in Japan in relation to abnormal noise and oil
leakage that may have resulted from slack of bolts in
the sub transmission and the rear wheel differential.
In addition, the company was involved in government
investigations related to product recalls. For instance,
in February 2012, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration initiated a preliminary
investigation of a potentially faulty power window
master switch in the driver-side doors in model year
2007 Camry and RAV4 vehicles. This could also result
in significant penalties, which could affect the
operational margins.
Opportunities:
Growing global automotive industry: The
global automotive industry was severely affected by
the economic downturn, with a decline in revenues
being recorded in 2008 and 2009. However, 2011 saw
a strong rebound which has continued into 2012.
According to MarketLine, the global automotive
manufacturing industry grew by 8.9% in 2012 to
reach a value of $1,563.9 billion. The recovery of
global automotive industry thus provides Toyota an
opportunity to gain more customers and increase
revenues.
Threats:
Intense competition: The worldwide automotive
market is highly competitive. Toyota faces strong
competition from automotive manufacturers in its
various markets. The competition among various auto
players is likely to intensify in light of continuing
globalization and consolidation in the worldwide
automotive industry. The factors impacting
competition include product quality and features, the
amount of time required for innovation and
development, pricing, reliability, safety, fuel economy,
customer service and financing terms. Increased
competition may lead to lower vehicle unit sales and
large inventory, which may result in downward
pricing pressure, thus impacting the financial
condition and results of operations of the company.

Markets
India
For the Indian market, Toyota Kirloskar
Motor (TKM) showcased the second-generation
Innova at Auto Expo in February 2016. Marketed as
the "Innova Crysta", this generation was launched in
May 2016. Exclusive for this model is a 2.8-litre 1GD-
FTV inline-four turbocharged diesel engine. The
Innova launched in May 2016 as with two diesel
engine options: the 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV diesel and the
2.4-litre 2GD-FTV diesel. The 2.8-litre engine gets the
six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift
while the 2.4-litre gets the five-speed manual
transmission. In August 2016, the 2.7-litre 2TR-
FE petrol engine option was introduced. The petrol
engine is mated with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-
speed automatic transmission with sequential shift
according to different trim levels.
The Indian specification AN140 employs a double
wishbone suspension with coil springs and stabilizer
up front and a four-link with coil spring and lateral
road suspension at the rear. The low end variants ride
on 16-inch alloy wheels, while the top-end variant
receives 17-inch alloy wheels.
Trim levels are G, V, and the flagship Z. In 2018,
Toyota launched the Innova Touring Sport based on
the Indonesian-market Kijang Innova Venturer and
was updated with 6-speed manual transmission.
In 2020, the 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV engine was
discontinued for the Indian market due to the
implementation of Bharat Stage 6 emission
standard. The 2.8-litre automatic variant was
subsequently replaced with the 2.4-litre automatic
variant. However, the 2.4-litre 2GD-FTV diesel in the
automatic variant produces the same torque of
360 N⋅m (266 ft⋅lb) that the 2.8-litre automatic
produced and the 2.4-litre manual produces the same
torque of 343 N⋅m (253 ft⋅lb) that the 2.8-litre manual
produced. To comply with the Bharat Stage 6 emission
norms, the engine is equipped with
a DPF + SCR system for exhaust after-treatment and
mandates the use of diesel exhaust fluid.

SECOND GENERATION
The second generation Fortuner was unveiled
simultaneously on 16 July 2015 in Australia and
Thailand. Along with the Toyota Hilux, the Fortuner
features the "Keen Look" design language that has
already been used on the Toyota Corolla (E170) with
slim projector headlights and LED daytime running
lights. But this time, Fortuner stopped sharing the
interior design with the Hilux to give a distinct
character between the two. Both the Hilux and
Fortuner share the chassis, transmission and engine
lineups, with two new diesel engines (1GD-
FTV and 2GD-FTV). The 2.7-litre and 4.0-litre petrol
engines were updated with Dual VVT-i. The second-
generation Fortuner features a part-time 4WD system
instead of the full-time 4WD system used in the
previous generation.
All variants have ABS, EBD, dual airbags plus knee
airbag, follow me home light function, all around
sensor, glove box with chiller function, digital
automatic climate control, all auto power windows
along with tilt and telescopic steering wheel as
standard. All variants have Eco Mode and Power
Mode features to adjust throttle responses. The front
braking system consists of 17" disc brakes, whilst the
rear braking system uses drum brakes, except in
Australia and India where disc brakes are used all
around. In 2017, the Fortuner was upgraded to disc
brakes all around in all markets.

The Fortuner is powered by a range of petrol and
