Toyota Marks 40 Years in Indonesia,
Opens Nature Preservation Park as Part of Celebrations
Jakarta, Indonesia, April 19, 2011―Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that PT. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) and PT. Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM), respectively TMC manufacturing and sales subsidiaries in Indonesia, marked 40 years of operations in Indonesia today. As part of the commemorations, TMMIN and TAM held an opening ceremony here for Toyota Eco-Island, an environmental preservation park.
Toyota Eco-Island is designed to serve as a place to learn about environmental protection, and it gives people from a young age the opportunity to get in contact with flora and fauna to heighten their environmental awareness. The trees within the park are the product of tree-planting activities funded by a portion of Toyota-brand new-car sales in Indonesia.
Attendees at the park's opening ceremony included the Indonesian Vice Minister of National Education Fasli Jalal and TAM President and TMMIN Vice President Johnny Darmawan Danusasmita. In his speech, Johnny Darmawan Danusasmita emphasized TMMIN and TAM's social contribution activities in the areas of environmental preservation, traffic safety and personnel development over the past 40 years, and conveyed the two companies' commitment to be a good corporate citizen in Indonesia and further strengthen their social contribution activities.
TMC established PT. Toyota Astra Motor in Indonesia in 1971, and in 1977 began producing and selling the "Kijang", a multipurpose van developed for Indonesian consumers; the Kijang marked cumulative production of 1 million units in 2003. In 2004, production of the "Kijang Innova", developed under the IMV (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle) Project, began, making Indonesia an important production and supply location for the IMV Project.
In the Toyota Global Vision announced in March, TMC expressed its intention to strengthen its activities in emerging markets. TMC is determined to produce vehicles that exceed consumer expectations, and aims to be welcomed as a good neighbor and contributing member of society by helping build prosperous communities wherever it does business.
