The Chinese government attaches great importance to expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption, and has introduced a series of policies and measures, including special campaigns to boost consumption and the trade-in program for consumer goods, providing ample development space for foreign-invested enterprises such as Toyota Motor. Toyota Motor Corporation is welcomed to further deepen its presence in the Chinese market and continue to actively participate in the China International Import Expo (CIIE) to share in the opportunities presented by the vast Chinese market.

Toyota China responds to "channel reform": a misunderstanding

Recently, media reports have claimed that Toyota Motor Corporation has implemented a channel reform, primarily adopting a "single-city, single-store" model. Specifically, each city will retain only one joint venture brand 4S dealership, selling the full range of GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota models. On October 23rd, a representative from Toyota China responded to this report, stating that the report was misinterpreted. Toyota China is currently piloting joint sales in a very small number of lower-tier cities where only FAW Toyota or GAC Toyota operate. This initiative aims to provide consumers with more convenient service and a wider range of product choices. This is a very small-scale pilot, not a forced categorization of all regions or a single channel.
