- Toyota’s stance towards the findings recognized this time
Following the March 4 announcement, on August 2 of this yr, Hino already introduced in depth extra wrongdoings as an ‘overview of the misconduct’ ensuing from a full investigation by the Special Investigation Committee and the corporate. We contemplate it a particularly grave matter that additional wrongdoings have been discovered this time by an on-site inspection by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
Akio Toyoda, President and Representative Director of Toyota Motor Corporation, commented on this matter as follows.
“As the parent company as well as a shareholder of Hino Motors Ltd., we are extremely disappointed that Hino has once again betrayed the expectations and trust of its stakeholders with the revelation of a new round of wrongdoings. Having continued a number of wrongdoings in the area of engine certification, Hino is now in a situation where it is questioned whether the company will be trusted by its stakeholders. Based on this recognition, we will closely watch whether Hino can be reborn as a company worthy of the trust of its stakeholders.”
