This prestigious award is given to factories that have achieved good results in improving productivity, quality, and operations in manufacturing in Japan and Asia. With the expansion of the domestically assembled product range, meeting Toyota’s global quality standards and implementing efficient management methods, Toyota Vietnam is the only plant outside of Japan to receive this award. This is evidence of the production quality of Toyota Vietnam, which is equivalent to factories in Japan and the region.
In 2023, Toyota introduced new models in various segments: Wigo, Yaris Cross, Innova Cross, and Alphard. Among them, 3 models added Hybrid versions, bringing the total number of Toyota Hybrid models to 6.
Thanks to the trust and acceptance of customers, the Vios & Corolla Cross models regularly rank among the top 10 best-selling models in the market with sales volumes of 13,521 and 10,485 vehicles respectively. The Yaris Cross, although newly launched at the end of September, recorded sales of 3,065 vehicles, averaging 1,022 vehicles per month.

Actively partnering with supporting industries, contributing to the development of the automotive industry
In 2023, Toyota continued to collaborate with the Ministry of Industry and Trade for the fourth consecutive year in supporting the automotive supporting industry with the goal of enhancing capacity and strengthening the linkage between domestic supporting businesses and automobile assemblers, thereby increasing localization rate. This year, Toyota expanded its cooperation with the Vietnam Supporting Industries Association to further enhance this activity.
The supported businesses have achieved very positive results in reducing inventory and workshop area, maximizing costs, increasing productivity, and improving the working environment for employees. This year, TMV supported an additional 13 suppliers, bringing the total number of supported suppliers to 17.
The number of Toyota suppliers has reached 60, including 13 Vietnamese suppliers with a total of over 1,000 localized products.
