The IT Home portal found that the auto giant intends to use the resources of Chinese joint ventures not only for the development of the BZ electric vehicle, but also for classical products. Future models RAV4, Highlander and Sienna intend to develop together with partners, they will be produced at Faw-Toyota capacities. Thus, Chinese versions will begin to differ stronger from the “global”.
The Chinese Toyota research and development team will be decentralized, that is, it will be able to make a number of decisions (for example, by suppliers) without coordination with Tokyo. Also, the Chinese branch of Toyota will be able to rely on a single personnel management system, while now the FAW-Toyota, Gac-Toyota, BYD-Toyota and the Toyota IEM technology department work independently.

Insiders quote the unnamed representative of Toyota, who stated: the concern will not make concessions in safety matters, brakes, steering and batteries to Toyota standards. However, to reduce the development of new Toyota models, Chinese partners will convey some functions associated with intellectual capabilities. Also, future models of the Japanese brand can be unified in the interior and exterior with partners’ solutions.
Without the support of GAC, FAW and BYD, the development of electric vehicles would take at least three years, and the BZ5 crossover entered the market in just a year. Toyota is not alone in the decision to trust the development and assembly of Chinese partners: previously Volkswagen made a similar decision.
