Toyota Indonesia's Export Performance Shows Strong Growth in 2025

Significant Increase in Export Volume

PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) has achieved remarkable success in its export operations during the first ten months of 2025. According to data from the Indonesian Motor Vehicle Industry Association (Gaikindo), TMMIN exported 145,395 Completely Built Unit (CBU) vehicles between January and October 2025. This represents a 5.6% year-on-year increase from the 137,677 units exported during the same period in the previous year.

Hybrid Models Drive Export Growth

The export performance was primarily driven by the strong demand for Toyota's hybrid vehicles. The Kijang Innova Zenix Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) contributed significantly with 10,830 units, while the Yaris Cross HEV added 7,584 units to the total export volume. Combined, these hybrid models accounted for 18,414 units or 13% of the total export volume, demonstrating Toyota's successful strategy in promoting electrified vehicles in its export markets.

Strategic Shift Towards Electrification

The strong performance of hybrid models reflects Toyota's strategic focus on vehicle electrification. By incorporating hybrid technology into popular models like Innova and Yaris Cross, Toyota has been able to maintain its competitive edge in the global market while adapting to the growing demand for more environmentally friendly vehicles. This shift towards electrification is particularly significant as the global automotive industry continues to evolve towards stricter emissions regulations and more sustainable transportation solutions.

Market Implications

The success of Toyota's hybrid exports from Indonesia has several important implications for the company's global strategy. Firstly, it demonstrates the competitiveness of TMMIN's manufacturing operations and its ability to meet international quality standards. Secondly, it highlights the growing importance of hybrid technology as a transitional step towards full electrification in various markets worldwide. The performance of these models in export markets will likely influence Toyota's future product development and market strategies.
