Toyota Motor Corporation group companies are Toyota (including the Scion brand), Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino Motors,[7] along with several "non-automotive" companies.[8] TMC is part of the Toyota Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the world.

DISTRIBUTION
In Japan, Toyota’s sales and marketing work is divided into four distribution channels
Toyota (mostly high-end, large cars),
Toyopet (medium size),
Toyota Corolla(compact), and
Netz Toyota (compact).
Overall, Toyota offers about 60 car models, with each channel offering only 15-25 models.
The Toyota dealers as a whole have approximately 5,000 outlets and 120,000 employees.
DISTRIBUTION
This way, each dealer can develop deep knowledge of all models he has for sale, and can make an effort to sell all car models assigned to him, rather than only the few most profitable ones.
DISTRIBUTION
Toyota applies the “Toyota Way” to manage dealers, based on three basic principles:
Dealers are free to make independent decisions, and Toyota can only help them to invest in the right things to improve. Such a strategy motivates dealers to be more proactive.
Both the dealers and Toyota must prosper jointly.
Competition is a means to improve.
DISTRIBUTION
Toyota works with one distributor in each country
Toyota markets cars in about 170 countries through its overseas network consisting of more than 160 importers/distributors and numerous dealers.
Overall, China is the highest-growth market.
