Toyota robotics strategy and financial updates

Overview

Toyota Motor is proceeding with its plan to launch Toyota Robotics on January 1, 2027. Led by Takefumi Shiga, the division intends to integrate robotics across the company’s value chain, with a target of deploying approximately 400,000 robots across Toyota plants and its supply chain by 2028. This initiative includes the development of the ELEY humanoid robot, which utilizes embodied learning to assist in industrial tasks. To support this modernization, the company may invest up to 6.4 billion dollars annually to enhance productivity and safety through automation and AI.

In its second quarter results for the fiscal year ending March 2027, Toyota reported increased revenue and net profit. The company has revised its full year operating profit forecast upward to 3.9 trillion yen. Net profit rose 26.1 percent year-on-year to 2.23 trillion yen. Despite this growth, Toyota noted challenges including rising material costs and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Additionally, the company reported that its electrified vehicle sales ratio has risen to 55.6 percent, noting growth in Japan and Europe even as sales in China faced pressure.
