Toyota do Brasil

Toyota do Brasil Ltda. has been active for 58 years. It has around 5,700 employees and occupies a key position in the Brazilian automotive sector. The first Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) subsidiary to have a factory outside Japan, the company currently has operations in four states – Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, Espírito Santo and Pernambuco – as well as the Distrito Federal, in addition to a nationwide network of 218 dealers. G4-3, G4-7

With revenues of R$ 13.24 billion in 2015, TDB is one of the top seven automobile manufacturers in Brazil in sales and maintained its robust performance in an extremely challenging year for the industry. The fiscal year saw investments that reinforce Toyota's commitment to local development, such as the new distribution center in Suape (Pernambuco), the engine plant in Porto Feliz (São Paulo) and the second phase of the SBC Reborn project, involving the revitalization and modernization of the São Bernardo do Campo factory in São Paulo – which will consume investments of R$ 67 million by the end of 2016. G4-3, G4-9

The TDB operational structure comprises three vehicle production plants in the state of São Paulo (Indaiatuba, São Bernardo do Campo and Sorocaba), three logistics centers – Guaíba (Rio Grande do Sul), Vitória (Espírito Santo) and Suape (Pernambuco) –, a parts distribution center in Votorantim (São Paulo), a representative office in Brasilia (DF) and an engine plant in Porto Feliz (São Paulo).

With a strategy centered on efficient production, the responsible use of natural resources, dedication to the customer and to social contribution, TDB works in alignment with the directives of the TMC – founded in 1937 and operating in more than 160 countries under the Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino brands, with a work force of over 235,000 people. G4-4, G4-6, G4-8

Through its Fundação Toyota do Brasil, the company produces positive impacts on Brazilian communities and biomes, having invested almost R$ 4 million during 2015 in projects such as APA Costa dos Corais – promoting environmental education, civic awareness and community development in one of the key biodiversity regions on the Brazilian coast. Moreover, in partnership with suppliers and dealers, Toyota mitigates production chain environmental impacts and reinforces its business philosophy centered on excellence in relations, quality and safety.

Another key initiative over recent years has been the stimulus to modernize the automotive sector by investing in technologies to drive sustainable urban mobility. Aligned with Toyota's global 2050 Environmental Challenge, TDB will boost its portfolio of eco-efficient vehicles, reducing the business's emissions impact.

Our portfolio G4-4

Corolla

Launched in 1966, the Corolla is the best-selling midsize sedan in the world. A new exclusive option for the 2017 Corolla line was launched in April 2016, the Black Pack special edition, with personalized internal and external accessories for the GLi Upper version. The 2017 Corolla family comprises six versions: GLi 1.8L with manual transmission; GLi 1.8 L with Multi-Drive transmission; GLi Upper 1.8 L with Multi-Drive transmission; GLi Upper Black Pack 1.8 L with Multi-Drive transmission (available exclusively in Preto Eclipse black); XEi 2.0 L with Multi-Drive transmission; and Altis 2.0 L with Multi-Drive transmission.

Etios

Launched in 2012, the Etios is a compact model projected by TDB to reinforce business in Brazil in a new market segment. In May 2016, the 2017 Etios line made its debut at Brazilian dealers with two engine sizes, a 1.3 liter and a 1.5 liter Dual VVT-i, with a six-speed manual transmission, a digital TFT instrument panel with the 4.2 inch Toyota Smart Screen - the only one of its kind in the compact segment - a more comprehensive range of standard equipment in all the versions, improved acoustic insulation, recalibrated suspension and electric steering, with a brand new upholstery pattern. The main novelty is the adoption of a four-speed automatic transmission for the entire Etios family, both in the hatchback and the sedan versions. The 2017 Etios is also the first car in the TDB portfolio to use engines manufactured in the new Porto Feliz plant. The sedan maintains its 562 liter trunk, one of the largest in the category, and is available in the versions X, XS, KLS, Cross and Platinum – the latter having a multimedia system with navigation, rear camera, DVD player and digital TV.

Hilux

More than 65,000 units of the Hilux were commercialized in 2015. 2016 saw the introduction of the new, modern variable valve timing Dual VVT-i Flex 2.7 16V DOHC engine, developed especially for the Brazilian market, in addition to the traditional diesel model. The vehicle is available in three new versions, with the following configurations SR 4x2, SRV 4x2 and 4x4, all with six-speed automatic transmission.

Prius

The Prius was introduced in the Brazilian market in 2013. In its fourth generation, the most successful global hybrid vehicle is the first car to use the Toyota New Global Architecture platform, offering greater comfort and drivability, with a lower center of gravity and a reduction in drag coefficient (Cx) from 0.25 to 0.24.

SW4

As with the Hilux, the sports utility vehicle is available in a new Flex family comprising a single version with three options– the SR with five or seven seats and automatic transmission, and a five-seat version with manual transmission available only by direct sale, all with 2-wheel drive. The Dual VVT-i technology ensures improved performance compared with the previous generation of the Flex engine.

Camry

The Toyota premium sedan is powered by a V6 Dual VVT-i 24V engine – delivering 277 hp at 6,200 rpm – and has xenon dipped headlights. The new model is under development in the United States and will be launched at the beginning of 2017.

RAV4

The 2016 RAV4 family, already on sale in Uruguay, has a remodeled front with new headlights, grille and bumper. The sports utility is also equipped with new lights and an enhanced interior finish. The 2 liter engine model, with 144 hp and 19.0 kgfm torque, has a seven-speed CVT transmission.

Lexus

Toyota also has its premium Lexus division, focused on high-performance luxury vehicles. The models, commercialized in Brazilian by 10 dealers and 15 authorized service providers in the Southeast, Midwest and Northeast of the country, are manufactured in Japan.

Etios: international success

Due to its robust performance, the compact Etios has been commercialized in Argentina since 2013 and exports to Paraguay and Uruguay were initiated at the end of 2014. In 2015 alone, TDB sold 61,000 units of the Etios in Brazil and 22,000 in the three other Latin American countries. From 2016, the model will also be exported to Peru.

Suape: boosting local business    G4-13, G4-EC8

On November 30, TDB inaugurated its new distribution center in the port of Suape, in the municipality of Cabo de Santo Agostinho in the Recife metropolitan region.

With an initial investment of R$ 2.4 million, the 23,000 square meter center has a throughput capacity of 40,000 units a year, providing Toyota with a new logistics model for the Northeast of the country, a region which accounts for around 20% of its sales in Brazil.

The center, which generated some 40 direct and indirect jobs, will be responsible for distributing the Corolla and Etios models manufactured in São Paulo and the Hilux and SW4 produced in the Zárate plant in Argentina throughout the region. In addition to logistics gains, the unit will enable Toyota to reduce its environmental footprint.

Porto Feliz: in operation G4-13, G4-EC8

Another landmark in the first half of 2016 was the official inauguration of the new engine factory in Porto Feliz, São Paulo. The complex covers an area of over 827,000 square meters and generated around 320 jobs. This enabled the production of engines for the Etios in Brazil, with an annual capacity of 108,000 units. Similar to the Sorocaba plant, inaugurated in 2012, the plant employs eco-efficiency concepts that enable the rational use of natural resources and gains in efficiency and productivity (read more in Environment and Eco-efficiency).
