Toyota President and CEO, Akio Toyoda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ToMoCo President Akio Toyoda has said that scrutiny from inside and outside of the company has been a \u2018good lesson\u2019, and expects his company to emerge stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a Japanese proverb: After the rain, the ground hardens,\u201d Toyoda said in an interview yesterday. \u201cI am very confident we will look back and say the company has become more focused on our customers and safety because we went through this period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toyoda, who came in as president almost a year ago, attributes the recent problems to the company\u2019s rapid expansion. The NHTSA continues to investigate the company\u2019s handling of past recalls – the company faced a record-high fine for improper notification of known safety issues. As part of its image restoration efforts, the company has formed a global quality committee.<\/p>\n

Toyota faces serious competition from Ford and Hyundai in the U.S. market. It has announced separately, a joint-venture with Tesla Motors<\/a> – bringing the world\u2019s leading hybrid manufacturer together with the only manufacturer of U.S. highway-legal battery-powered cars. The deal with Tesla will help offset some of the threat from GM and Nissan and their advancements in electric-battery powered vehicle technology.<\/p>\n
