In its first quarter (between April and June), the negative impact for the Japanese was 0.45 billion yen, about 2,616 million euros.

Despite the external external environment, we have continued making comprehensive investments and improvements, such as the increase in sales, cost reduction and the expansion of value chain profits, thus minimizing negative impacts. We will collaborate with all interested parties, including all interested parties Suppliers and distributors, to take advantage of the results of our consolidation efforts and thus improve productivity further, ”said Toyota in the report of their results.
