Toyota will open a new Tokyo Head Office in FY2030 in the building. The area is expected to see improvements in urban functions with the opening of the MAGLEV line and other projects going forward.
“As the automotive industry concept is being transformed by CASE (Connected, Autonomous/Automated, Shared, and Electric) and other technological innovations, Toyota is being revamped into a mobility company to deliver smiles and happiness to people around the world through a variety of mobility services,” Toyota said.
“To achieve this goal, Toyota believes that it is necessary to create new value through the integration of mobility with social systems by working to extend the value of mobility and achieve a sustainable coexistence between humanity and the earth, including carbon neutrality,” Toyota said.
“The new Tokyo Head Office will be an important base for leading Toyota’s efforts focused on these new realms. It will serve as a place for collaborative creation where a diverse group of partners can gather, with software development functions and facilities necessary for demonstrations,” Toyota said.
“In addition to the latest office facilities and equipment, Toyota aims to create an environment where diverse human resources can gather and exercise their creativity, such as by allowing them to bring their own mobility devices into the office. Toyota will also consider introducing welfare and other systems as well as infrastructure that will enable new work styles to be implemented,” Toyota said.
About Ken Zino
Ken Zino, editor and publisher of AutoInformed, is a versatile auto industry participant with global experience spanning decades in print and broadcast journalism, as well as social media.

He is past president of The International Motor Press Assn, the Detroit Press Club, founding member and first President of the Automotive Press Assn.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine.
