The Future Has Arrived, and It's Called Mirai



TORONTO, ON., (Nov. 17, 2014) – Akio Toyoda has seen the future, and it’s called “Mirai.” That’s the name of Toyota’s new fuel cell vehicle, which the company’s president announced in a video released the night before the car’s official launch.

Mirai, which means “future” in Japanese, represents a turning point for the automotive industry. The groundbreaking vehicle can travel up to 300 miles
(or about 483 kilometres) on a single tank of hydrogen, refuel in less than five minutes and emits only water vapor.

TRANSCRIPT OF AKIO TOYODA’S ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO


 
Today, we are at a turning point in automotive history.

A turning point where people will embrace a new, environmentally-friendly car that is a pleasure to drive.

A turning point where a four-door sedan can travel 300 miles on a single tank of hydrogen, can be refueled in under five minutes and emit only water vapor.

A turning point that represents many years and countless hours of work by our team to create a car that redefines the industry.

All of us at Toyota believe in a future that will be safer, greener and easier for everyone.

We imagined a world filled with vehicles that would diminish our dependence on oil and reduce harm to the environment.

It was a bold, but inspiring goal. And, today it is a reality.

Our fuel cell vehicle runs on hydrogen that can be made from virtually anything, even garbage!

It has a fuel cell that creates enough electricity to power a house for about a week.

This is a car that lets you have it all with no compromises.

As a test driver, I knew this new fuel cell vehicle had to be truly fun to drive – and believe me, it is. It has a low center of gravity, which gives it very dynamic handling.

After surviving millions of miles on the test track and 10 years of testing on public roads in freezing cold and scorching heat…

After passing extensive crash tests…

And after working with local governments and researchers around the world to help make sure it is easy and convenient to refuel…

We are ready to deliver.

The name we’ve given to our new car is Mirai, which in Japanese means “future.”

We believe that behind the wheel of the Mirai, we can go places we have never been, to a world that is better, in a car that is better.

For us, this isn’t just another car. This is an opportunity – an opportunity to really make a difference. And making a difference is what Toyota is all about.

The future has arrived. And it’s called Mirai.




Toyota Racing Takes Drivers' Title and Victory


TORONTO, ON., (November 17, 2014) Toyota Racing won the Six Hours of Bahrain for its fifth victory of the FIA World Endurance Championship season as Anthony Davidson and Sébastien Buemi secured the drivers' title with a race to spare.

The #7 TS040 Hybrid of Alex Wurz, Stéphane Sarrazin and Mike Conway won its first race of the season with a fine performance, earning Toyota Racing's fifth victory of the 2014 season.

Anthony and Sébastien finished 11th after losing time due to a technical issue but nevertheless become the 2014 drivers' World Champions, holding an unassailable lead in the standings with only one race remaining.

That marks Toyota's first drivers' World Championship crown since Didier Auriol won the World Rally Championship in 1994.

Today's result also strengthens Toyota's hold on the manufacturers' World Championship, extending the lead over Audi to 40 points with a maximum of 44 points available in the final race, in Sao Paulo on 30 November.

There was drama throughout the race, starting on the opening lap when Alex and Sébastien swapped positions with their rivals having started from fourth and second respectively.

 

Despite losing ground at the first turn, the TS040 Hybrids soon asserted themselves and within seven laps the #8 had taken the lead thanks to some decisive driving from Sébastien, while Alex was in similar fighting mood as he moved into third.

A brief full course yellow after 30 minutes gave both cars the chance to pit early for new tyres and more fuel. With the rest of the field circulating slowly, time lost in the pits was minimised and Sébastien resumed in third with Alex fourth.

Both soon moved up a place and, close to the one-hour mark, took over at the head of the field, running one-two and setting similarly competitive lap times to pull clear.

After 90 minutes both cars pitted on the same lap, with just nine seconds separating them. Mike took the wheel of the #7 while Sébastien handed over to Anthony, who resumed in the lead.

That did not last however, with the #8 needing an unscheduled pit stop to change the alternator. That elevated Mike in the #7 to the lead, while Anthony resumed 30 minutes later in 26th, 17 laps behind.

 

A further short stop to confirm the new alternator was functioning correctly soon followed before Anthony continued with a mission to finish the race and wrap up the drivers' World Championship.

The target for the #7 was different and Mike continued to stretch the lead, which stood at close to a minute when Stéphane took over soon after half distance.

Sébastien returned to the wheel of the #8 and made steady progress, setting the fastest lap of the race early in his second stint as Stéphane safely guided the #7 into the final hour before handing over to Alex.

The #8 was rapidly rising up the order and lay 13th with 50 minutes remaining when Anthony took the wheel for his final stint.

Both cars ran almost nose to tail during the final minutes, with Alex leading them over the line to win in the #7 by 50.460secs, as Anthony took the flag to make it a double celebration for Toyota Racing.

 

Yoshiaki Kinoshita, Team President

"Congratulations to Anthony and Sébastien on becoming World Champions. They deserve the title, which is not just for the drivers themselves, but recognises a fantastic effort by the whole team. This is a really big prize, particularly because this year was the start of a new era of fuel efficiency. They are the first champions under these new regulations and we are very proud that the Toyota Hybrid System – Racing proved its performance by powering them to this title. Thank you to everyone who has been involved; all at Toyota Motorsport GmbH in Cologne, our colleagues in Motor Sport Division and the Hybrid Department of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan plus our friends from ORECA and all our partners. Also I would like to pay tribute to our fans, who have been so supportive since the start of our project. Of course, big congratulations as well to Alex, Stéphane and Mike for their victory today. After a few races where various factors have hindered the #7, they were very quick and consistent today on a track which is one of the toughest on tyres. They did a great job."

(Alex Wurz, Stéphane Sarrazin, Mike Conway)

Alex Wurz

"I'm very happy for my team-mates on becoming World Champions. They have been mega all season. We work very hard together as drivers and there is a great atmosphere between us. Now they are the World Champions so they should enjoy it. We won the race so I am very happy with that. I must say thanks to Stéphane who pushed us in the right direction on set-up earlier in the weekend. We had a strong car and it was a good team effort."

 

Stéphane Sarrazin

"Congratulations to Anthony and Sébastien. They have had an amazing season and they deserve this moment. I'm really pleased with our race and it's fantastic to win again, especially here in Bahrain where I won in the #8 last season. In my stint I had to save a bit of fuel to avoid needing a splash later in the race. I worked hard to manage the situation and did a good stint; it all worked out well. Alex and Mike both did a great job, in fact the whole team has performed really well this week and all season."

Mike Conway

"Well done to Anthony and Sébastien on sealing the World Championship. They have had an extremely strong season. Today was a great result for us in #7. Stéphane and Alex did some awesome stints and I am pleased with my performance. It's great to pay back the faith and support the team has shown me.

"It's been an amazing year. For me personally this is the biggest achievement in my career by a long way so it is a big day. I have never been a World Champion before so this means a lot and it still hasn't really sunk in yet. The team did an amazing job and have given us the fastest car. It wasn't exactly the way we wanted to win the title but I'm not complaining. Big thanks to the mechanics today for getting the car out on track again, not only the #8 guys but also the crew from #7 who helped out. This championship has been a real team effort and I'm so grateful to everyone who has made it happen. It's a great day but there is still one more job to do in Brazil; win the manufacturers' World Championship."

 

Sébastien Buemi

"I am really pleased; it's a great feeling to win the World Championship. It's not the way we wanted to get it but we are really happy. To win a championship when you are competing against Porsche and Audi is a fantastic achievement. We had the car to win the race but I'm happy #7 won. Thanks to the team because to win a championship you need a great car and that's what they gave us. Even if it is the drivers' World Championship, it is really a title for the team because without everyone here at the track, back at Cologne and in Higashifuji, Anthony and I would not be here today. If we can make sure we win the manufacturers' championship in Brazil it will be a fantastic year."

Toyota Surprises SEMA with 850-Horsepower Camry Dragster



Sleeper Camry Set to Shock Racing Fans Nationwide

Toronto, ON., Nov. 4, 2014 — In drag racing terms, a “sleeper” is a car that looks as innocuous as possible, but has the means to blow the doors off the competition. The attendees at this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show were shocked when emcee Rutledge Wood l...ifted the Sleeper Camry’s body to reveal a purpose-built dragster putting out over 850 horsepower. The excitement was palpable as crowds of onlookers rushed into the Toyota booth to get a glimpse at the source of the ear-splitting growl that shook Central Hall to its foundation. Toyota’s Sleeper Camry had just revealed its true intentions.

The build team extracted the outer shell of the all-new 2015 Camry and mated it to a full tube-frame chassis. Underneath the stylish Camry skin, it’s all about brute force, rugged durability and raw speed. A Tundra was tapped for its 5.7-liter 3UR-FE V8 engine, transmission, rear axle and electronics. The engine is blown with a TRD supercharger and also features a wet nitrous system. Directing the power to the asphalt are beefy DOT 335/30/18 drag racing tires which are expected to help propel the Sleeper Camry to a blistering 9.80-second* quarter-mile time. It’s hard to believe that the build was completed in just 11 weeks. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident throughout the dragster — from the fully functional stock doors to the custom-fabricated interior.

The Sleeper Camry can be seen November 4-7 in the Toyota display booth (#24700) located in the Central Hall at the 2014 SEMA Show. After the SEMA Show it will tour the country at select NHRA races.

Seventh Series Manufacturer's Title for Toyota


 
 
On-Track Success of Tundra Drivers Yields Championship
 

Toronto, ON., (Nov. 3, 2014) -- Tundra driver Kyle Busch’s victory in Friday night’s race at Texas Motor Speedway enabled Toyota to clinch its seventh NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) manufacturer’s championship in 11 years participating in the series.

Toyota remains the series’ top manufacturer after previously winning last year’s title (2013) and prior to that a record five straight NCWTS manufacturer’s championships from 2006 to 2010.  Overall, this is the 10th time Toyota has earned a NASCAR manufacturer’s trophy since the start of the 2004 season.  Toyota also earned three consecutive NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) manufacturer’s crowns from 2008 to 2010.

In addition, Tundra racers have collected four driver’s championships.  Todd Bodine claimed a pair of titles in 2006 and 2010, and Johnny Benson collected the 2008 championship trophy.  Last year, Matt Crafton earned his first career NCWTS championship.  This season, Crafton is seeking to become the first-ever back-to-back NCWTS champion, although he’s facing stiff competition from fellow Tundra racers Darrell Wallace Jr. and Johnny Sauter for the driver’s title.

Highlights from the season include Tundra drivers establishing a new series record by winning the first 10 races of the year -- from Daytona in February to Eldora in July -- and a 12-race winning streak dating back to the final two races of 2013.

Three teams fielding Tundras -- Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM), Red Horse Racing and ThorSport Racing -- all contributed to the NCWTS manufacturer’s title.  This season, Tundra drivers have combined for 16 wins, seven pole positions, 60 top-five results and 108 top-10 finishes -- with two races still remaining on the 2014 schedule.  In addition, Toyota drivers have led 2,197 laps (of 2,830) in NCWTS competition this season -- more than three-quarters of the total laps.
 
Busch has made the most trips to victory lane this season with seven first-place trophies (Daytona, Kansas, Charlotte, Dover, Kentucky, Chicago and Texas) while Wallace has earned three wins this year (St. Louis, Eldora and Martinsville) in a KBM Tundra.  Two Tundra drivers have each recorded a pair of wins this season -- Crafton (Martinsville and Texas) and Erik Jones (Iowa and Las Vegas).  Sauter (Michigan) and Timothy Peters (Talladega) each have one victory in their Tundras this season.

Of this year’s 16 Tundra wins, 12 have been by KBM drivers -- Busch, Jones and Wallace -- which matches the most by a team in a single season.  This year, KBM is also looking to earn a third owner’s championship in its fifth year competing in the series.

A total of 23 different drivers have participated in the Camping World Truck Series in Tundras this year, including six -- Jeb Burton, Crafton, Peters, German Quiroga, Sauter and Wallace -- who have competed in all 20 events driving Toyotas.

The 16 Tundra wins this season is the most victories by Tundra drivers in a single year, surpassing the 15 set in 2010.

Since joining NCWTS competition in 2004, Toyota has won 128 races and captured 98 poles in 264 races.  Busch (36) has the most victories driving a Tundra.

There are two more races remaining on this year’s NCWTS schedule, including Phoenix International Raceway (Nov. 7) and the season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway (Nov. 14).

The 2015 Toyota Corolla Marks 50 years of Toyota in Canada with Two Striking Special Editions


 
 
 
Seven stylish, generously equipped and fuel-efficient models :: Two Canadian-unique 50th Anniversary Special Editions :: Canadian-built quality

TORONTO, ON. (October 17, 2014) – Now here’s a Corolla like you’ve never seen it before.  For 2015 the Toyota Corolla offers two 50th Anniversary Special Editions, available for a limited time only, they are made in Canada and available only in Canada.  Of course this is on top of an already generous choice of stylish, fun-to-drive, and fuel-efficient models that are part of the regular line-up.

“We may be celebrating 50 years of Toyota in Canada, but we’re looking forward with Toyota’s most popular car in Canada: the Corolla,” said Larry Hutchinson, Vice President of Toyota Canada Inc. “The limited time only 2015 Toyota Corolla 50th Anniversary Special Editions reward Canadians with what they want: fun-to-drive, stylish and efficient vehicles that they can depend on”

The compact sedan market is fiercely competitive in Canada, so every Corolla offers enjoyable performance plus the surprising levels of comfort and features that make it a popular choice, year after year after year.

All Corollas are built around a powerful and efficient 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine mated to either a responsive six-speed manual,  proven four-speed automatic, or an efficient CVT. Suspensions designed for driving fun maximize handling while reducing vibration.

From the curb, the Corolla’s styling is bold and expressive, with sleek sculpting to give this compact a slippery drag co-efficient of just 0.28. Inside, the Corolla expresses craftsmanship with a stylish, functional and inviting cabin displaying attention to detail not typically found in its segment. Ornamental stitching, pinstriped accents and piano black gloss trim with metallic touches convey an upscale, sporty image. Thoughtfully designed and engineered front seats offer plenty of support for those up front, while maximizing room for those riding in back.

Toyota is Global Hybrid Leader with Sales of 7 Million



TORONTO, ON., (Oct. 14, 2014) – Toyota Motor Corporation announced today global hybrid sales surpassed the 7 million unit mark in September. Toyota achieved this latest million-unit hybrid milestone at the record pace of nine months.

Including hybrid vehicles launched this year, Toyota will introduce a total of 15 new hybrids globally through 2015.  Hybrids launched this year comprise the Lexus Voxy Hybrid and Noah Hybrid in Japan only (January), and the Lexus NX 300h (December). This month Toyota will introduce the Lexus RC 300h. Toyota plans to continue expanding its hybrid lineup and increase the number of countries and regions where it sells hybrid vehicles.

Today Toyota sells 27 different hybrid passenger car models and one plug-in hybrid model in more than 90 countries and regions. In Canada, Toyota and Lexus offer 11 hybrid models and one plug-in model. In fact, more than three quarters of all the hybrids sold in Canada since 2000 came from Toyota and Lexus. In August, Toyota Canada achieved the milestone of selling 100,000 hybrids in Canada.

By achieving global mass-market appeal, Toyota hybrids have created a significant positive impact in gasoline consumed and emissions generated by driving. To date, Toyota hybrid vehicles have resulted in approximately 49 million fewer tons* of CO2 emissions and saved 4.75B gallons of gasoline than would have been emitted or used by gasoline-powered vehicles of similar size and driving performance. In Canada alone, Toyota and Lexus hybrids have saved Canadians almost 260 million litres of fuel and helped avoid over 600,000 tonnes of C02 emissions.

Although Toyota provides consumers a portfolio of options, including pure electrics and a fuel cell that will go in sale in summer 2015, hybrids will remain its core technology. Toyota therefore plans to continue working to enhance performance, reduce costs and expand its product lineup to create vehicles popular with consumers.

Toyota Still Most Valuable Auto Brand on Interbrand’s 2014 Best Global Brands Report




Toyota Climbs to No. 8 on Interbrand’s 2014 'Best Global Brands' with 20 Percent Brand Value Growth

Toronto, ON., (Oct. 9, 2014) –  Playful campaigns and its zero-emission “Car of the Future” Fuel Cell Vehicle are just a few of the reasons Interbrand ranked Toyota the 8th most valuable global brand in its annual report. Up from No. 10 in 2013, Toyota’s brand value increased by 20 percent to $42.4 billion, the highest Toyota has achieved. Toyota again ranked as the most valuable automotive brand.

Interbrand publishes the ranking of the top 100 brands based on a unique methodology analyzing the many ways a brand touches and benefits an organization, from attracting top talent to delivering on customer expectation. Three key aspects contribute to a brand’s value: 1) the financial performance of the branded products or services; 2) the role of brand in the purchase decision process; and 3) the strength the brand has to command a premium price, or secure earnings for the company.

Toyota’s increase in brand value reflects its recent global initiatives, including the Toyota Mobility Foundation, which addresses mobility challenges worldwide, and collaborations on innovative technologies that enhance sustainable transportation, such as fuel cell engineering and electric drivetrains. Toyota ranks No. 2 among the top 50 ‘Best Global Green Brands’ by Interbrand.
