<strong>Toyota</strong><br />

stickerfi x TM<br />

Traditional liquid touch-up paints have a short shelf life and need heated storage and shipping<br />

conditions. They are also subject to strict scrapping policies. To <strong>of</strong>fer increased customer<br />

choice, <strong>Toyota</strong> stickerfix was launched in January 2011. This new accessory is a do-ityourself<br />

vehicle cosmetic repair and protect product and is an automotive industry first. It<br />

is a high-tech flexible adhesive film coated with waterborne paint and EU VOC-compliant<br />

clearcoat that matches <strong>the</strong> car's original colour. It consists <strong>of</strong> an A5 painted sheet with 33<br />

pre-cut stickers to cover minor chips, scrapes and scratches that used to be repaired with<br />

liquid touch-up paint. <strong>Toyota</strong> stickerfix is easily applied <strong>by</strong> a simple three-step process <strong>of</strong><br />

clean, stick and smooth.<br />

Remanufactured Parts<br />

By reusing components and <strong>the</strong>re<strong>by</strong> reducing <strong>the</strong> demand<br />

for raw materials, we are also saving <strong>the</strong> energy needed<br />

to convert those raw materials into finished products.<br />

We are continuing to expand our range <strong>of</strong> remanufactured<br />

products and in FY10 increased <strong>the</strong> volume <strong>of</strong><br />

remanufactured parts <strong>by</strong> 10% with <strong>the</strong> addition <strong>of</strong> some<br />

diesel engines. We recorded a core return rate <strong>of</strong> 90%<br />

and maintained a lead time from <strong>the</strong> retailer to <strong>the</strong> parts<br />

remanufacturer <strong>of</strong> less <strong>than</strong> one month.<br />

Low-friction Transfer Gear Oil<br />

�<br />

Case Study<br />

During FY10 we introduced a specialist gear oil into<br />

<strong>the</strong> TGMO (<strong>Toyota</strong> Genuine Motor Oil) product range:<br />

Transfer Gear Oil LF 75W.<br />

This oil was developed specifically for vehicles with<br />

a new type <strong>of</strong> 4x4 transfer, such as <strong>the</strong> Land Cruiser<br />

150, Land Cruiser 200, Land Cruiser Prado, GX460 and<br />

4Runner in order to achieve superior vehicle <strong>performance</strong><br />

through reduced internal friction, increased driveability<br />

and improved fuel economy.<br />
