This new EV, aimed at meeting the global rise in electric vehicle demand, will expand their portfolio with an electric SUV catering to modern consumers’ needs.
Koji Sato, President, Toyota emphasised the partnership’s impact: "By utilising our jointly developed BEV unit and platform, we can offer choices that contribute to a carbon-neutral society. We aim to learn from each other’s strengths and continue our multi-pathway approach." Suzuki President Toshihiro Suzuki echoed the sentiment, adding, "Our collaboration has deepened, enabling Suzuki to supply our first BEV to Toyota globally. While remaining competitors, we are committed to jointly addressing social issues and pursuing carbon neutrality."
