At the IAA Transportation event in Hannover, Germany, Toyota Motor Europe (TME) highlighted its significant growth in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) sector, with sales more than doubling in the past five years, targeting over 165,000 units in 2026 and an 8% market share by 2030. TME Executive Vice President, Sales, Till Conrad, emphasized that success is not just about scale but also maintaining quality and service standards.
