De hevige concurrentie in de automobielwereld, waarbij Chinese merken agressief proberen uit te breiden naar de rest van de wereld, dwingt gevestigde merken om hun strategie\u00ebn te herzien. De nieuwe CEO van Toyota, Kenta Kon, denkt een deel van de oplossing te hebben gevonden: minder onderdelen.<\/p>\n

Kon, die Koji Sato vervangen<\/a> eerder dit jaar, wil de productiekosten verlagen om de winstgevendheid van Toyota te verbeteren zonder dat dit ten koste gaat van de klanten.<\/p>\n

Zijn voorganger had al gepleit voor meer samenwerking tussen Japanse merken, waarbij onderdelen zouden worden gedeeld met andere merken dan de bestaande partners van Toyota binnen de groep, namelijk Daihatsu en Subaru. Maar Kon volgt nu het voorbeeld van Chinese fabrikanten en niet-traditionele merken zoals Tesla.<\/p>\n

De productie vereenvoudigen<\/b><\/h4>\n

Kon vertelde Autonews dat hij het aantal onderdelen dat Toyota gebruikt drastisch wil verminderen. De CEO van Toyota wil echter niet zo ver gaan als de mythe rond de Ford Model T dat het \u201cal was het maar zwart\u201d zou moeten zijn.<\/p>\n

Hij wil de keuzevrijheid niet beperken, maar juist het aantal onderdelen verminderen dat voor klanten onzichtbaar is of voor hen niet van belang is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Een voorbeeld hiervan zijn de verschillende soorten stoffen die worden gebruikt voor de zijkanten en achterkant van autostoelen; dit maakt het proces weliswaar complexer, maar heeft weinig invloed op de klant.<\/p>\n

Automotive News meldt ook een vermindering van het aantal onderdelen voor de buitenspiegels met 50%, terwijl het aantal varianten van de deurgrepen voor de RAV4 naar verluidt met een derde is teruggebracht.<\/p>\n

Chinese merken lopen voorop<\/b><\/h4>\n

Deze aanpak is iets wat Chinese fabrikanten al veel eerder hebben toegepast, met meer standaardisatie tussen modellen en uitvoeringen. En het is juist de Chinese concurrentie die Toyota dwingt om alles opnieuw te bekijken.<\/p>\n

Minder onderdelen en grotere aantallen van \u00e9\u00e9n bepaald type onderdeel in plaats van meer variatie zorgen voor lagere productiekosten. En dit betekent op zijn beurt dat Toyota minder auto\u2019s hoeft te produceren om break-even te draaien.<\/p>\n

Als je het zo bekijkt, bereidt Toyota zich misschien voor op het moment dat Chinese merken een deel van zijn marktaandeel zullen afsnoepen.<\/p>\n

In 2025 bleef Toyota wereldwijd marktleider met 11,3 miljoen verkochte voertuigen (10% meer dan in 2024). Maar de verkoopcijfers van Chinese bedrijven zoals BYD en Geely zijn gestegen, en zij hebben een voorsprong op Toyota in het segment van de elektrische auto's.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leveranciers liggen al op schema<\/b><\/h4>\n

In de praktijk is Toyota Boshoku, een belangrijke toeleverancier van Toyota, al begonnen met het vereenvoudigen van zijn onderdelenassortiment om de winstmarge van het bedrijf tegen 2030 bijna te verdubbelen. Het RPT33-plan voorziet in een vermindering van het aantal onderdelen met 33 procent.<\/p>\n

Een van de beste voorbeelden is de productie van de hoofdsteunen van Toyota Boshoku, die nu 76% minder onderdelen bevatten. De volgende generatie stoelframes heeft een vereenvoudigd ontwerp, waardoor ze 20% dunner zijn dan die van de concurrentie en er meer in eigen beheer kan worden geproduceerd.<\/p>\n

Gigacasting?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Toyota werkt zelf ook aan een productiemethode van het type \u2018gigacasting\u2019 om het aantal onderdelen te verminderen, met name voor de duurdere modellen.<\/p>\n

Gigacasting wordt op grote schaal toegepast door Tesla, en merken als Volvo en anderen volgen dit voorbeeld. De technologie houdt in dat grote onderdelen van auto\u2019s uit \u00e9\u00e9n stuk materiaal worden vervaardigd, in plaats van verschillende kleine onderdelen samen te voegen om tot dezelfde structuur te komen.<\/p>\n

Toyota stond op het punt om de Lexus LF-ZC te lanceren, waarbij \u2018gigacasting\u2019 een van de innovatieve technologische hoogstandjes was. Het model was uiteindelijk geschrapt<\/a> vanwege de tegenvallende verkoopcijfers van elektrische auto\u2019s, maar dat betekent niet het einde van \u2018gigacasting\u2019 voor het merk.<\/p>\n

Als eerste in China<\/h4>\n

De productie van een nieuw model voor de Chinese markt staat gepland voor eind 2027. Hierbij zal gebruik worden gemaakt van de technologie\u00ebn die voor het Lexus-model zijn aangekondigd, en het wordt het eerste model van de Toyota-groep waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van gigacasting.<\/p>\n

Andere bedrijven, zoals Stellantis<\/a>, lijken op korte termijn minder enthousiast over dit proces. En hoewel gigacasting, hoewel duur om op te zetten, de kosten van onderdelen verlaagt, zou het de consument uiteindelijk wel eens meer kunnen gaan kosten. Bij schade zijn deze grote onderdelen moeilijker te repareren.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
