Tokyo—TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) and HINO
MOTORS, LTD. (Hino) held a line-off ceremony today to mark the
consolidation of production of their jointly developed Toyota "Dyna"
and Hino "Dutro" light-duty trucks at PT. Hino Motors Manufacturing
Indonesia (HMMI). The consolidation, which brings the end of
production of light-duty trucks at PT. Toyota Motor Manufacturing
Indonesia (TMMIN), represents optimization of the production structure
of the Toyota Group in Indonesia.
"I am positive that by consolidating production of light-duty trucks
with truck and bus specialist Hino, we have optimized the Toyota
Group's Indonesian truck manufacturing structure. It is my fervent
desire to further serve people in Indonesia through the Toyota and Hino
brands", TMC Managing Officer Mitsuhiro Sonoda said at the ceremony,
which was attended by Indonesian Vice President Boediono, Japanese
Ambassador to Indonesia Kojiro Shiojiri and other distinguished guests.
Also on hand were Hino President Yoshio Shirai, HMMI President
Director Kenji Ohara and representatives of local TMC and Hino
affiliates.
The addition of light-duty truck production at HMMI makes the Hino
subsidiary a full line-up truck producer, as HMMI was already a
producer of medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, as well as of buses. It
also boosts HMMI's annual scale of production from 10,000 to 35,000
vehicles, making HMMI Hino's largest overseas manufacturing site, and
marks the first time for Hino to build vehicles on consignment from TMC
outside of Japan. As from before, HMMI trucks will be sold in
Indonesia, with Dyna trucks continuing to be sold by Toyota dealers and
Dutro trucks continuing to be sold by Hino dealers.
"We hope to see increased sales of both the Hino-produced Dyna and the
Hino-brand Dutro, and, as such, are committed to increased production
and supply of trucks that meet user needs", Shirai said.
TMC and Hino, through the production and sales of high quality, highly
reliable trucks, intend to continue contributing to the development of
Indonesia's automotive industry and logistics, as well as to local
communities.
