TOKYO (AP) — Toyota chief Koji Sato apologized Monday to customers, suppliers and dealers for flawed testing at a group company, following a series of similar problems in recent years.
The apology came a day before Chairman Akio Toyoda is to announce a “global vision” for the Toyota Motor Corp. group.
The latest woes at Japan’s top automaker involve testing required for Japanese government approval at Toyota Industries Corp., which makes diesel engines.
In 2022, Hino Motors, a truck maker that’s also part of the Toyota group, said it had systematically falsified emissions data dating back as far as 2003.
They include the Land Cruiser and Hilux sport utility vehicles, according to Toyota.
