Toyota and Mazda new Business and Capital Alliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Signed agreement marks start of concrete collaboration aimed at creating new types of value for future mobility and achieving further sustainable growth<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

(Spanish version below)<\/p>\n

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda) signed an agreement to enter a business and capital alliance, with the aim of further strengthening their lasting partnership.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the companies agreed to:<\/p>\n

1) Establish a joint venture that produces vehicles in the United States,<\/p>\n

2) Jointly develop technologies for electric vehicles,<\/p>\n

3) Jointly develop connected-car technology,<\/p>\n

4) Collaborate on advanced safety technologies,<\/p>\n

5) Expand complementary products.<\/p>\n

In addition, together with the aim of advancing and strengthening their long-term collaboration, Toyota and Mazda agreed to a capital alliance arrangement that preserves independence and equality for both companies. In the capital tie-up, the two companies have agreed that Toyota will subscribe for and acquire shares to be newly issued by Mazda through a third-party allotment, and at the same time Mazda will subscribe for and acquire third-party allocation shares of treasury stock disposed of by Toyota in the equivalent amount in value to the Mazda shares. The value of the shares mutually acquired by both companies will be equivalent.<\/p>\n

Marking the agreement, Toyota President Akio Toyoda said: “The greatest fruit of our partnership with Mazda is that we have found a new partner who truly loves cars. It has also sparked Toyota’s competitive spirit, increasing our sense of not wanting to be bested by Mazda. This is a partnership in which those who are passionate about cars will work together to make ever-better cars. It is also the realization of our desire to never let cars become commodities.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Representing Mazda, President and CEO Masamichi Kogai said: “Nothing would please me more than if, through this alliance, we can help to energize the auto industry and create more car fans by bringing together two competitive spirits to spur each other on, leading to innovations and fostering talent and leaders.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The auto industry increasingly faces great challenges, including stricter environmental and safety regulations for new vehicles and the entrance of competitors from other industries, as well as the diversification of mobility-related businesses. With the future of the industry in mind, in addition to leveraging their individual strengths to further improve technologies and reinforce their business foundations, Toyota and Mazda aim to deepen collaboration and achieve sustainable growth through their partnership, rising to face and overcome these pressing challenges.<\/p>\n

On May 13, 2015, Toyota and Mazda entered an agreement to build a continuous partnership that would mutually benefit the companies in such forms as leveraging the resources of both companies and complementing each other’s products and technologies toward the goal of making more-appealing cars. Since then, both companies have discussed various areas to explore, based on the principle of building an equal and favorable relationship in the long term.<\/p>\n

Over the medium- to long-term, the two companies will build a favorable relationship that respects the autonomy and equality of each party and works toward success with the agreed joint projects. With the aim of creating new types of value for future mobility, they will accelerate and enhance bilateral cooperation as long-term partners and contribute to the development of a sustainable society by exceeding customers’ expectations.<\/p>\n

Details of the agreement on business alliance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Establish a joint venture that produces vehicles in the U.S<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As part of the new alliance, Toyota and Mazda have agreed to explore establishing a joint venture plant in the U.S. with equal funding contributions. The plant would have an estimated annual production capacity of approximately 300,000 units. Pending approvals and authorization by relevant government agencies, the companies will begin to examine detailed plans with the goal to starting operations of the new plant in 2021. The plant will require a total investment of approximately 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, and will create up to 4,000 jobs. In addition to the collaboration in product and technology areas that the companies have enjoyed thus far, Toyota and Mazda intend to improve competitiveness in manufacturing through this new production collaboration.<\/p>\n

At the new plant, Mazda expects to produce cross-over models that Mazda will newly introduce to the North American market, and Toyota plans to produce the Corolla for the North American market.<\/p>\n

By producing vehicles in the U.S., Mazda aims to build a production structure to further grow in North America. These activities will allow the company to more quickly respond to its customers’ needs depending on the region and model.<\/p>\n

By further increasing its production capacity in the U.S., Toyota is to further pursue management that is closer to the region, as a measure to improve its response to the growing North American market. At Toyota’s new plant in Guanajuato, Mexico, which is currently under construction, Toyota plans to produce the Tacoma, instead of the Corolla. There will be no substantial impact on Toyota’s investment and employment plan there.<\/p>\n

Jointly develop technologies for electric vehicles<\/strong><\/p>\n

With increasing demand and expectations for electric vehicles worldwide, Toyota and Mazda are to explore joint development of technologies for the basic structure of competitive electric vehicles, mobilizing and exchanging expertise freely and actively. These technologies will allow the companies to respond quickly to regulations and market trends in each country. Specific details of the collaboration will be determined as the companies work together going forward.<\/p>\n

Jointly develop connected technology and collaborate on advanced safety technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toyota and Mazda will work together to jointly develop technologies for onboard multimedia infotainment systems in preparation for increased use of in-car information technologies and the increasing demand for connected technologies. In addition, Toyota will cooperate with Mazda in Toyota’s vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technologies with the ultimate goal of creating a mobile society devoid of accidents.<\/p>\n

Expand complementary products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently, Mazda is supplying a compact sedan to Toyota in North America. In addition, Toyota is to supply a compact commercial “two-box” van to Mazda in Japan. Beyond this, the companies will further explore the possibilities of other complementary products on a global level.<\/p>\n

Details of the capital alliance<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Based on the agreement, the companies will aim to develop sustainable collaboration, maximizing the synergies of the business and capital alliance by mutually acquiring shares as stated below.<\/p>\n

Toyota will acquire 31,928,500 shares of common stock newly issued by Mazda through a third-party allotment (shareholding ratio of 5.05% on an issued share basis after the capital increase; total value of 50 billion yen).<\/p>\n

Mazda will, through a disposition of treasury stock through a third-party allotment to be implemented by Toyota, acquire Toyota shares that are equivalent in value to the Mazda shares (shareholding ratio of 0.25% on an issued share basis).<\/p>\n

The two companies plan to apply proceeds from the capital increase through the third-party allotment and the disposition of treasury stock through the third-party allotment to fund, in part, capital expenditures relating to the establishment of the joint venture to produce vehicles in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Both companies are to consider strengthening their capital alliance further, in line with the progress of their business alliance.\"\"<\/p>\n

Toyota y Mazda establecen alianza empresarial y de capital<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) y Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda) firmaron un acuerdo de alianza comercial y de capital, que refuerza la cooperaci\u00f3n que han sostenido a lo largo del tiempo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Este acuerdo es el resultado de dos a\u00f1os de trabajo en conjunto y profundas negociaciones entre las dos compa\u00f1\u00edas, que afianza y acelera la alianza de forma sostenible.<\/p>\n

Los acuerdos espec\u00edficos a los que llegaron ambas automotrices son:<\/p>\n

1) Establecer una alianza (Joint Venture) para producir veh\u00edculos en los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n

2) Desarrollar de manera conjunta nuevas tecnolog\u00edas para veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos.<\/p>\n

3) Desarrollar de manera conjunta tecnolog\u00eda de conectividad en veh\u00edculos.<\/p>\n

4) Colaborar en el desarrollo de tecnolog\u00edas de seguridad avanzada.<\/p>\n

5) Ampliar la creaci\u00f3n de productos complementarios.<\/p>\n

Adicionalmente, Toyota y Mazda llegaron a un acuerdo de inversi\u00f3n de capital, que preserva la independencia y equidad para ambas compa\u00f1\u00edas, con el prop\u00f3sito de fortalecer su relaci\u00f3n a largo plazo. En dicha alianza, las dos automotrices acordaron que Toyota dar\u00e1 opci\u00f3n a la suscripci\u00f3n y adquisici\u00f3n de nuevas acciones emitidas por Mazda a trav\u00e9s de una adjudicaci\u00f3n externa, y a su vez Mazda realizar\u00e1 la suscripci\u00f3n y adjudicaci\u00f3n de acciones del tesoro liberadas por Toyota, del mismo valor que las acciones de Mazda.<\/p>\n

Durante la firma del acuerdo, el presidente de Toyota, Akio Toyoda, expresa: “El mayor fruto de nuestra alianza con Mazda es que hemos hallado un nuevo socio que verdaderamente ama los autos. Esto ha despertado en Toyota un esp\u00edritu competitivo e incrementado nuestro sentido de no querer ser superados por Mazda. Esta es una sociedad en la cual dos apasionados de los autos van a trabajar de manera conjunta para hacerlo a\u00fan mejor. Significa adem\u00e1s la materializaci\u00f3n de nuestro deseo de no permitir que nunca los autos se conviertan en una mercanc\u00eda”.<\/em><\/p>\n

El Presidente de Mazda, Masamichi Kogai, expres\u00f3: “Nada me complace m\u00e1s que, a trav\u00e9s de esta alianza, podamos ayudar a energizar la industria automotriz y generar m\u00e1s fan\u00e1ticos de los autom\u00f3viles, al unir dos esp\u00edritus competitivos que se motivan mutuamente, liderando la innovaci\u00f3n y el fomento de talentos y l\u00edderes”.<\/em><\/p>\n

La industria automotriz cada vez enfrenta m\u00e1s grandes retos, incluyendo estrictas regulaciones ambientales y de seguridad para nuevos veh\u00edculos, la entrada de nuevos competidores provenientes de otras industrias, as\u00ed como la diversificaci\u00f3n de negocios relacionados con la movilidad. Con la mente puesta en el futuro de la industria, Toyota y Mazda aprovechan sus fortalezas individuales para seguir perfeccionando las tecnolog\u00edas existentes y reforzando la base de sus negocios. Ambas empresas, apuntan a profundizar la colaboraci\u00f3n y alcanzar el crecimiento sustentable de su sociedad, enfrentando y superando los crecientes y apremiantes retos.<\/p>\n

El 13 de mayo de 2015, Toyota y\u00a0Mazda firmaron un acuerdo para una sociedad continua, que pudiera beneficiar a ambas compa\u00f1\u00edas y potenciar los recursos de ambas, complementando los productos y tecnolog\u00edas de cada uno en funci\u00f3n del desarrollo de veh\u00edculos m\u00e1s atractivos. Desde entonces, ambas automotrices han discutido acerca de las \u00e1reas para explorar, bas\u00e1ndose en el principio de construir una relaci\u00f3n equitativa y favorable para ambas a largo plazo.<\/p>\n

Durante el mediano y largo plazo, las dos compa\u00f1\u00edas seguir\u00e1n construyendo una relaci\u00f3n favorable que respete la autonom\u00eda e igualdad de cada una de las partes, trabajando en proyectos conjuntos orientados al \u00e9xito. Con el objetivo de desarrollar nuevas propuestas de valor para la movilidad futura, se acelerar\u00e1 y reforzar\u00e1 la cooperaci\u00f3n bilateral como socios a largo plazo para contribuir con el desarrollo de una sociedad sustentable, superando las expectativas del consumidor.<\/p>\n

Detalles del acuerdo de alianza comercial<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crear una planta de ensamblaje de veh\u00edculos en los Estados Unidos.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Como parte de esta nueva alianza, Toyota y Mazda han acordado estudiar la instalaci\u00f3n de una planta conjunta en Estados Unidos, con el mismo porcentaje de inversi\u00f3n. La planta tendr\u00e1 una capacidad de producci\u00f3n anual de 300 mil unidades aproximadamente. Tras las aprobaciones y autorizaciones de importantes instituciones gubernamentales, las compa\u00f1\u00edas empezar\u00e1n a desarrollar planes detallados con el objetivo de que la planta inicie operaciones en el 2021. \u00c9sta requerir\u00e1 una inversi\u00f3n de 1.6 mil millones de d\u00f3lares aproximadamente, y generar\u00e1 hasta 4 mil empleos. Adem\u00e1s de la colaboraci\u00f3n en \u00e1reas de tecnolog\u00eda que las compa\u00f1\u00edas han realizado hasta ahora, Toyota y Mazda buscan incrementar la competitividad en la manufactura de veh\u00edculos a trav\u00e9s de esta nueva alianza de producci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

En esta nueva planta, Mazda espera producir modelos cross-over que pronto lanzar\u00e1 en el mercado norteamericano, y Toyota planea producir Corolla para el mismo mercado.<\/p>\n

Con el ensamblaje de veh\u00edculos en los Estados Unidos, Mazda espera construir una estructura de producci\u00f3n que fortalezca su crecimiento en Norteam\u00e9rica. Estas actividades le permitir\u00e1n a la compa\u00f1\u00eda responder con mayor rapidez a las necesidades de sus consumidores, dependiendo de la regi\u00f3n y el modelo.<\/p>\n

Al incrementar a\u00fan m\u00e1s su capacidad de producci\u00f3n en los Estados Unidos, Toyota incrementar\u00e1 su gerencia local en la regi\u00f3n, como una medida para mejorar su respuesta al creciente mercado norteamericano. En la nueva planta de Toyota en Guanajuato, M\u00e9xico, que se encuentra actualmente en construcci\u00f3n, la compa\u00f1\u00eda pretende producir el modelo Tacoma, en lugar de Corolla. Ello no generar\u00e1 un impacto significativo en la inversi\u00f3n y el plan de empleo en la zona.<\/p>\n

Desarrollar de manera conjunta tecnolog\u00eda para veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ante la creciente demanda y expectativa por veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos alrededor del mundo, Toyota y Mazda est\u00e1n estudiando desarrollar tecnolog\u00edas para la estructura b\u00e1sica y competitiva de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos, intercambiando experiencia de forma libre y activamente. Estas tecnolog\u00edas le permitir\u00e1n a ambas compa\u00f1\u00edas responder r\u00e1pidamente a las regulaciones y tendencias del mercado en cada pa\u00eds. Los detalles espec\u00edficos de la colaboraci\u00f3n ser\u00e1n determinados por las compa\u00f1\u00edas a medida que trabajen juntas en el futuro.<\/p>\n

Desarrollar de manera conjunta tecnolog\u00eda de conectividad en veh\u00edculos y colaborar en tecnolog\u00edas de seguridad avanzada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toyota y Mazda trabajar\u00e1n en conjunto para desarrollar tecnolog\u00edas para sistemas multimedia de informaci\u00f3n y entretenimiento a bordo de veh\u00edculos, en respuesta al creciente uso de tecnolog\u00edas de conectividad e informaci\u00f3n dentro de los autos. Adem\u00e1s, Toyota apoyar\u00e1 a Mazda con sus tecnolog\u00edas veh\u00edculo a veh\u00edculo (V2V) y veh\u00edculo a infraestructura (V2I) con el prop\u00f3sito de crear una sociedad m\u00f3vil libre de accidentes.<\/p>\n

Ampliar la comercializaci\u00f3n de productos complementarios.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actualmente, Mazda est\u00e1 suministrando a Toyota en Norteam\u00e9rica un sed\u00e1n compacto. Toyota por su parte, le va a suministrar a Mazda una van doble cabina compacta de uso comercial, en Jap\u00f3n. Adem\u00e1s, las compa\u00f1\u00edas continuar\u00e1n explorando las posibilidades de otros productos complementarios globalmente.<\/p>\n

Detalles de la alianza de inversi\u00f3n de capital<\/strong><\/p>\n

El acuerdo establece que las compa\u00f1\u00edas buscar\u00e1n desarrollar una colaboraci\u00f3n sostenible, maximizando la sinergia del negocio y la alianza de capital, a trav\u00e9s de la adquisici\u00f3n mutua de acciones como se establece abajo.<\/p>\n

Toyota adquirir\u00e1 31,928,500 acciones ordinarias recientemente emitidas por Mazda a trav\u00e9s de una asignaci\u00f3n externa (participaci\u00f3n accionaria de 5.05% sobre la base de las acciones emitidas despu\u00e9s del aporte de capital; lo que equivale a un valor total de 50 mil millones de yenes).<\/p>\n

Mazda por su parte, mediante una colocaci\u00f3n de acciones propias a trav\u00e9s de una asignaci\u00f3n externa que llevar\u00e1 a cabo Toyota, adquirir\u00e1 acciones de Toyota equivalentes en valor a las de Mazda (participaci\u00f3n accionaria de 0,25% sobre la base de las acciones emitidas).<\/p>\n

Las dos compa\u00f1\u00edas pretenden aplicar procedimientos de inversi\u00f3n de capital a trav\u00e9s de colocaciones externas y emisi\u00f3n de acciones propias, tambi\u00e9n a trav\u00e9s de colocaciones externas, para crear un fondo de capital de gastos para la instalaci\u00f3n de asociaci\u00f3n para la producci\u00f3n de veh\u00edculos en los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n

Ambas compa\u00f1\u00edas considerar\u00e1n fortalecer a\u00fan m\u00e1s su alianza de capital, en l\u00ednea con el desarrollo de su alianza de negocio.\u2206<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
