Note: Fiscal years ended March 31
Net revenues for non-automotive business
operations rose ¥76.6 billion, or 7.9% year on
year, to ¥1,489 billion, whereas operating income
improved to ¥42 billion, an increase of ¥6.8 billion,
or 19.4%, compared with the previous fiscal year.
Non-automotive business operations
include Intelligent Transport Systems
(
ITS
)
,
information technology and telecommunications,
e-TOYOTA, housing, marine, and biotechnology
and afforestation businesses. In each of these
operations we are fostering a workplace culture
that encourages creativity and entrepreneurship.
Also, we are seeking ideas for new businesses
outside the Toyota group of companies as
another key aspect in the creation of future core
businesses.
In 2009, we helped create a practical
vehicle-infrastructure cooperative system for
safe driving that prevents traffic accidents more
effectively than current safety technologies.
In conjunction with this, Toyota developed an
onboard communications device, mainly for
expressway use, compatible with the ITS Spot
Service. Also, in 2011 Toyota commercialized
the Driving Safety Support System
(
DSSS
)
, an
onboard navigation system for public highways.
We will continue to increase the number of
models equipped with this device.
Toyota is also engaging in R&D for vehicle-
infrastructure cooperative systems, such as
actively participating in public and private sector
field trials, so as to bring them into use as soon
as possible.
Toyota is involved in the planning and
development of products and services for
Intelligent Transport Systems
(
ITS
)
. We view
this technology as a valuable way to link motor
vehicles and transportation infrastructures,
thereby contributing to sustainable economic
development.
Toyota is developing e-TOYOTA business
operations to facilitate the integration of IT
services and automobiles. We designed and
developed the GAZOO members-only automobile
portal site, a three-dimensional virtual city called
METAPOLIS and other services. In the field of
telematics, we are developing G-BOOK/G-Link,
an information service for onboard terminals,
with other telematics services planned for China
and other countries.Toyota dealers also serve as sales points
for mobile phones and point-to-point
telecommunications services provided by KDDI
Corporation at more than 7,000 sales outlets
(
vehicle dealers, parts dealers, rental offices,
and L&F offices
)
throughout Japan.
Toyota is has also been engaged in the
promotion of functions and services that link
cars and mobile phones, such as hands-free
telephones and G-BOOK services, and in 2012
we launched the eCONNECT for the new Prius
PHV and the Toyota Friend service.
Toyota
ʼ
s information technology and
telecommunications business will come to play
an even more important role as we develop
smart grids that link people, cars and homes.
