A Guide to Toyota's Subsidiaries and Partnerships

As a company, Toyota is big. Beginning from a company that manufactured automatic looms for sewing textiles (seriously), Toyota has come a long way. Today, this company manufacturers some of the most reliable and beloved vehicles on the road today and has a reach that expands the globe. Being such a large scale company, it's easy to lose track of what Toyota operates and has a stake in. Luckily, as some of Toyota's biggest fans, Toyota of Clermont is here with a quick guide on current Toyota subsidiaries and partnerships so you can feel like an insider to one of the world's largest auto manufacturers! Toyota's Subsidiaries Hino Motors You've likely not heard of this company, but you may have seen their truck, heard their engines, or maybe even ridden on their buses. Hino Motors specializes in manufacturing working vehicles like trucks and diesel engines to help truck drivers and other businesses move items. These medium duty trucks are engineered to last and do whatever you need, whether that be towing, recovery, delivery, and so on. Hino also manufactures passenger buses in several countries in addition to their trucks. This Toyota subsidiary also hybrid technology in several of their truck models. Ranz Developed in 2013, Ranz is a Toyota subsidiary that specializes in the development of electric vehicles. This subsidiary was showcased at Shanghai Auto Show in 2013 and has since been pivotal in introducing an EV offshoot of the Toyota Corolla to the Chinese market. This company's portfolio is small, but we have a feeling it will expand soon with the growing popularity of Clermont Toyota electric vehicles. Lexus When it comes to luxury, no one does it better than Lexus. As a Toyota subsidiary, Lexus represents the more luxurious models produced by Toyota. Beginning with the Flagship 1 (F1) in the 1980s. Since then, Lexus has been the name behind some of the most stylish and well engineered vehicles on the road. Daihatsu As an independent auto manufacturer, Daihatsu has been around since 1951. It was fully absorbed as a Toyota subsidiary in 2016. Daihatsu manufactured a variety of compact vehicles and bikes for European and Asian countries. By 1969, the company had produced two million vehicles. Toyota's Partnerships Subaru The Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ look very similar. That's because Toyota and Subaru are partnering companies that collaborate on vehicle builds every now and then. In fact, Toyota just recently purchased a larger stake in Subaru, totaling to 16.6%. Its rumored that a new generation Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ is on the way and future projects may come about from this partnership. Isuzu While you don't see many Isuzu dedicated vehicles on the road anymore, you've likely seen some vehicles with their Clermont Toyota diesel engine in them. In fact, Isuzu supplies diesel engines for brands like GM. Mazda Toyota also owns a partial stake in Mazda. This Japanese based auto manufacturer responsible for manufacturing the Wankel rotary engine along with other iconic vehicles throughout its company history. Their current agreement with Toyota involves the exchange of fuel-efficient SkyActiv Clermont Toyota engines for hydrogen fuel cell technology. Toyota's reach is far and wide and hopefully this guide makes it easier to keep it all straight.

The Toyota T-HR3, the Micro Palette, and the e-Palette are all examples of Toyota's ongoing effort to introduce AI based devices like robots, small delivery vehicles, and people movers to enhance human mobility. Several of these devices will be used and displayed during the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics to help people commute around the Olympic village. Electric Vehicles Galore The world and the automotive industry are moving toward alternative fuel sources to combat the climate crisis while still providing more cost-effective and clean ways of moving people. Toyota has introduced an entirely new second generation Toyota Mirai (which uses hydrogen as its sole fuel source), but electric vehicles are become very popular among drivers. For the Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota has displayed several concepts including the Clermont Toyota e-Trans and the e-Racer. The e-Trans is a concept of a multi-passenger autonomous vehicle based around electrified engineering. The e-Racer uses a similar concept with batteries as its primary fuel source. The Vehicle that Knows You After alternative fuel and vehicle autonomy comes active machine learning and AI based tools to make your vehicle more aware of you. From this thought comes the Clermont Toyota LQ with AI program "Yui." This ultra-futuristic ride uses an AI program that learns about the driver to assist with driving and make every commute different. This vehicle will learn your ideal air temperature, music volume, cruising speed, how alert you are, and more to tailor the driving experience to the driver. This vehicle will also use Toyota's autonomous vehicle technology once it's successfully developed.   While it'll likely be some time before any of these Toyota vehicles from the Tokyo Motor Show make their way to Toyota of Clermont, we're excited to say the least!

Orlando Universal Monsters

5 Best Halloween Horror Nights Houses of 2019

Ah, spooky season is upon us. You know what that means...costumes, candy, and SCARES. And what better place to get your scare on in Central Florida than Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando? This eerie event is known to draw large crowds of of scary super-fans and their friends to the park. Because of this, it can be difficult to navigate all ten houses and all five scare zones in one night without an Express pass. On busy nights, sometimes you’re lucky to get into as many as three houses. In order to help you make the most of your time at Horror Nights, your Toyota of Clermont dealership has compiled a short list of the go-to houses you should aim to visit in a time crunch. In no particular order, the following list acts as a guide to some of the best houses in the Universal Orlando park this year. 1. Universal Monsters This house is objectively the scariest of them all. If you can get past the usual jump scares that come with the average haunted house scene, this one will offer a secondary scare when you take a closer look. The makeup and prosthetics used on these monstrous characters will leave you with chills for the rest of the night. 2. Yeti: Terror of the Yukon We all know fall nights in Orlando are still hot, so the Yeti house is an obvious choice for those looking to cool down. As you step into the Yukon, you get hit immediately with an icy, arctic freeze that remains with you as you attempt to resist running from the Abominable Snowman’s towering doom. 3. Ghostbusters An instant ‘80s classic, Ghostbusters is a must-see stop. This house is less of a haunt and more of a cinematic homage to the film. The set is so well designed that you’ll feel like you’re in a real-life version of the movie itself. This house is highly-recommended for those with a nostalgic side. 4.

Clowns are scary enough as it is, but these alien Klowns take creepy to a whole new level. 5. House of 1,000 Corpses Speaking of cult classics, Rob Zombie’s world of terror has come to Orlando’s Horror Nights not only as a scare zone, but in the form of his well-known gory masterpiece, House of 1,000 Corpses. This house is sure to spook you as you wander the path through the horrifyingly iconic movie scenes. Reminder: It is highly recommended that children under the age of 13 refrain from entering the park during these haunting hours, as the acting tends to be quite realistic and is deemed inappropriate for young kids. We hope you have a safe and fun Halloween season!

The current Sienna generation has been around since 2010 and it's high-time we saw a redesign of this beloved mini-van.

New Toyota technology available at Toyota of Clermont.

New Toyota Technology in the Works

As a company, Toyota is always making great strides in the auto industry and beyond. Recent investments in ventures like renewable fuel sources, electronic-drivetrains, and driver-less cars have solidified Toyota as a driver of the future. With everything Toyota has a hand in, it can get difficult to keep track of all the new and different Toyota technology making its way into the world. Luckily, Toyota of Clermont is here with a condensed guide on the most recent Toyota technology so you can stay up to date on all things automotive and Toyota. What's New with Toyota Technology A Solar-Powered Prius The Clermont Toyota Prius made waves as the first-ever hybrid to ever take to the roads. Today, this iconic vehicle has seen a number of feature and technology updates. The newest addition to this timeless hybrid is solar-power tech. In a partnership with Sharp, Toyota has outfitted a Prius Prime plug-in hybrid with 0.03mm thick solar panels. These panels have been affixed to surfaces like the hood, roof, rear windshield, and trunk lid. This new Toyota technology was used in 2016 in a Japan-only release Prius PHV but has since improved and can score the Prius Prime an extra 27 miles on its range. Plus, the solar cells can charge the vehicle as you drive. A Toyota MR2 EV With the return of the Toyota Supra and all its glory, Toyota is poised to release a new rendition on an old-favorite. Many experts speculate that the Clermont Toyota MR2 is due for a return and we're thinking it may be released with EV Toyota technology. There aren't many details surrounding this rumor, it's only speculation at this point. But we're pretty confident in this prediction and believe that EV Toyota technology will have advanced well enough in a few years to make a fully-electric MR2 feasible. We expect it to be released by or after 2024 for about the same price point as the new Supra. A new Hot-Hatch Toyota Yaris Who doesn't love a good hatchback? The Corolla Hatchback has been a hit so far this year and we may be seeing an all-new take on the Clermont Toyota Yaris sooner than we think. The Toyota Yaris Hot-Hatch could make its way to North America for the next model year or two. The new model is likely based on the Yaris GRMN, a Toyota Gazoo Racing design, and will feature both a performance and hybrid option. This new piece of Clermont Toyota technology will likely be available overseas and possibly the U.S. depending on demand. New Toyota Tundra Spotted Photographers recently spotted a camouflaged Toyota Tundra! While it's difficult to discern the finer details of this new truck, we can see a new front bumper design. Rumors are that the new Clermont Toyota Tundra will feature a new hybrid electric drivetrain and achieve close to 450 horsepower with a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine. It's likely this new Tundra will be released for the 2020 or 2021 model year. Needless to say, we're excited to see this new Toyota technology make its way to Toyota of Clermont. It'll be here before you know it and you can always find updates right here on our blog! Stay up to date with us and give us a call at (352) 404 - 7000 for more details.
