Traditional liquid touch-up paints have a short shelf life and need heated storage and shipping
conditions. They are also subject to strict scrapping policies. To offer increased customer
choice, Toyota stickerfix was launched in January 2011. This new accessory is a do-ityourself
vehicle cosmetic repair and protect product and is an automotive industry first. It
is a high-tech flexible adhesive film coated with waterborne paint and EU VOC-compliant
clearcoat that matches the car's original colour. It consists of an A5 painted sheet with 33
pre-cut stickers to cover minor chips, scrapes and scratches that used to be repaired with
liquid touch-up paint. Toyota stickerfix is easily applied by a simple three-step process of
clean, stick and smooth.
Remanufactured Parts
By reusing components and thereby reducing the demand
for raw materials, we are also saving the energy needed
to convert those raw materials into finished products.
We are continuing to expand our range of remanufactured
products and in FY10 increased the volume of
remanufactured parts by 10% with the addition of some
diesel engines. We recorded a core return rate of 90%
and maintained a lead time from the retailer to the parts
remanufacturer of less than one month.
Low-friction Transfer Gear Oil
Case Study
During FY10 we introduced a specialist gear oil into
the TGMO (Toyota Genuine Motor Oil) product range:
Transfer Gear Oil LF 75W.
This oil was developed specifically for vehicles with
a new type of 4x4 transfer, such as the Land Cruiser
150, Land Cruiser 200, Land Cruiser Prado, GX460 and
4Runner in order to achieve superior vehicle performance
through reduced internal friction, increased driveability
and improved fuel economy.
