Celebrating Muzala Samukonga’s Historic Triumph at the 2024 Paris

As the 2024 Paris Olympics, which concluded on 11th August, continue to capture the world’s imagination, there’s a remarkable story emerging from Zambia that fills us with immense pride. 

Did you know that Muzala Samukonga, a 21-year-old sprinter from Zambia, has made history on the Olympic stage? Specializing in the 400 meters, Samukonga clinched a prestigious bronze medal, showcasing his extraordinary talent and unyielding determination.

Samukonga’s achievement is even more significant against the backdrop of Toyota’s longstanding dedication to the Olympics. Since 2015, Toyota has been a proud sponsor, investing an impressive $835 million USD into the Games. This substantial commitment has had a transformative impact on athletes across the globe, and Samukonga’s success stands as a shining example of this support in action. We celebrate him.

At just 19, our very own Samukonga already achieved gold at both the Birmingham Commonwealth Games and the African Championships. His performance at the 2024 Olympics, held from July 26th to August 11th, where he had the honor of representing Zambia as a flagbearer, underscores his relentless dedication and the profound effect of global sponsorships.

We, Zambians takes immense pride in Samukonga’s achievements. His bronze medal is not just a personal victory but a testament to the far-reaching impact of corporate support in sports. We celebrate him.

CFAO Mobility Zambia’s Toyota division is thrilled to celebrate Muzala Samukonga’s success and share his inspiring story with our readers. We are thrilled to share Muzala Samukonga’s remarkable journey and the significant global impact of his achievements. We hope this story serves as a source of inspiration for our readers. Congratulations to Muzala, our esteemed Zambian bronze medalist. We celebrate his success with great pride.


CFAO Mobility Shines at the 96th Zambia Agricultural and Commercial Show

The Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative Society of Zambia Limited (ACSZ) has long served as the proud host of the Zambia Agricultural and Commercial Show, Trade, and Exhibition. This prestigious event consistently provides a platform for industries to showcase their latest innovations and achievements.

Dr. Bernard Moonga, President of ACSZ, announced that the 96th Agricultural and Commercial Show, held from 31st July to 5th August 2024, revolved around the theme “Creating a Competitive Future.” This theme aligned perfectly with CFAO Mobility’s mission, particularly in our commitment to sustainable mobility solutions, which we highlighted through our diverse showcase of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).

This year, we were honored to present an exceptional lineup of vehicles from our multi-brand portfolio, including the Suzuki Jimny, Ford Amarok, and offerings from our Top Gear Body and Paint division. However, the spotlight was on our hybrid electric vehicles—the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Electric Vehicle, Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Electric Vehicle, Toyota Prius Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), and the sleek Mark X from our Automark division. These models exemplified the innovative technology and forward-thinking design that resonated with the show’s theme of “Creating a Competitive Future.”

Visitors were particularly enthusiastic about exploring our hybrid models, recognizing the vital role they play in the future of sustainable transportation. The judges were equally impressed with how we brought the theme to life, especially through our emphasis on the strength of the Toyota network and our commitment to environmentally conscious solutions. Our hybrid electric vehicles were showcased not just as vehicles, but as symbols of a greener, more competitive future.

To further enhance the experience, we strategically placed the Corolla Quest—featured in a special promotion—at the Public Service Micro Finance stand, the Fortuner at the Stanbic Bank stand, and the Land Cruiser 300 at the ABSA Bank stand. These strategic placements underscored our dedication to bringing quality vehicles directly to our customers, reinforcing our focus on community engagement and sustainable innovation. This approach solidified our commitment to creating a competitive future by bringing our offers directly to customers’ doorsteps.

The enthusiasm from visitors was palpable, with many drawn to the eco-friendly features of our hybrid models. The positive leads we generated reflected the growing interest in sustainable mobility solutions, solidifying CFAO Mobility’s position as a leader in the industry. The judges also gained a deeper understanding of how CFAO Mobility is contributing to a more sustainable future through our hybrid initiatives and community-focused programs.

Due to our unwavering commitment to providing a quality experience, we were thrilled to receive the following awards for our exceptional stand display and theme interpretation:

  • Best Transport Exhibit
  • Best Motor Trade Exhibit

Congratulations to our incredible team, and a heartfelt thank you to the event organizers for making this event a tremendous success. We eagerly look forward to showcasing even more at next year’s event, with a continued focus on driving towards a competitive and sustainable future.

Once again, thank you for your trust and for making a positive impact on your community.


The Inception of Hybrid Electric Vehicles at CFAO Mobility Zambia

Did you Know?

CFAO Mobility brought something truly groundbreaking to Zambia—the Toyota Prius Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). This was not just any car; it was our first official HEV, serving as a crucial test vehicle and pioneering hybrid technology on Zambian roads. With 126,000 miles clocked over 12 years, this Prius has been more than just a vehicle—it’s been a trailblazer.

For a decade, this Prius served as our demonstration and test vehicle, showcasing the potential of hybrid technology in a Zambia where fuel emissions were a growing concern. Today, it continues to play a vital role at the CFAO Mobility Training Centre. Here, our staff gain invaluable experience with hybrid technology by studying the inner workings of this pioneering vehicle.

We are excited to share that this historic Prius is on display at this year’s 96th Agricultural and Commercial Show, running from July 31st to August 5th, 2024. We invite our customers and showgoers to witness where it all began. This is a unique opportunity to see how CFAO Mobility first took the bold step toward reducing fuel emissions back in 2012.

The main reason for showcasing it at an event that receives more than 200,000 showgoers is to encourage everyone to explore the difference between this pioneering Prius and the cutting-edge Toyota RAV4 and Corolla Cross Hybrid Electric Vehicles that are leading the charge today. We hope you enjoy this piece and look forward to enlightening you more on the highlights after the show ends on August 5th, 2024.

Victory for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing in Brazil

 

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing won the 6 Hours of São Paulo to ignite its 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title challenge on a dramatic day at Interlagos.

At the scene of Toyota’s first-ever hybrid-powered WEC victory in 2012, World Champions Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa earned their first win of the season in the #8 GR010 HYBRID in front of a passionate 73,205 Brazilian crowd.

Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries, in the pole position-winning #7 GR010 HYBRID, were on course for victory until a long pit stop for a technical issue dropped them down the field. However, a stunning fight back delivered fourth place and 12 valuable World Championship points.

A hard-earned second victory of the year, courtesy of flawless driving, strong team work and a superior tyre strategy, earned maximum points for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing and reduced the gap to leaders Porsche to only four points in the manufacturers’ standings with three races remaining in the season.

For the first time since Bahrain last November, an all-Toyota front row led the field away at the start. Mike made a clean getaway and began building a cushion over the chasing pack. Brendon recovered after running wide into the first turn and settled into second.

Mike took care to preserve his medium compound tyres in hot temperatures on the abrasive Interlagos track surface and plotted a safe course through the traffic. In the opening hour he built an 11-second advantage over Brendon, who was successfully holding the #5 Porsche at arm’s length.

The #7 was still comfortably in control at the 90-minute mark but suffered its first blow when a drive-through penalty for a full course yellow infringement wiped out Mike’s advantage. A more significant issue came early in the third hour when repairs were needed on a control unit and Nyck resumed in 18th.

By then Ryo was at the wheel of the #8 to take up the team’s victory challenge and he soon moved to the front. By half distance he had extended his lead to 30secs and he pitted for new Michelin tyres on the right-hand side only; a strategy to maintain tyre temperature and manage degradation.

Ryo put in a fast stint on his Interlagos debut to build a lead of over 40 seconds going into the final two hours before handing over to Sébastien. Nyck’s battling performance brought the #7 back into the fight for points and Kamui took the wheel for the final two stints.

Sébastien maintained the #8’s consistent speed at the front, making a final fuel stop with an hour remaining and resuming with a clear lead. He protected that until the chequered flag, finishing 1min 8.811secs ahead of the #6 Porsche.

The #7’s determined fight back continued until the flag and Kamui hunted down the #51 Ferrari in the closing laps, forcing his way past with a breathtaking overtake for fourth place inside the last five minutes.

After a productive visit to South America, the team’s bid to retain its World Championship titles moves to North America for the next race, when the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas hosts the Lone Star Le Mans on 1 September.

 

Akio Toyoda (Team Founder):

“Congratulations to Séb, Brendon, Ryo, and everyone in the #8 car for winning!

Everyone was motivated by the disappointment of Le Mans and you made up for the disappointment of not only the WEC team but also everyone at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing. Thank you very much!

Everyone in car #7 may not have gotten over their frustration yet. However, the way they fought back to fourth position even though they had dropped to 17th was fantastic. Especially Kamui’s overtake at the end was really great!

His determination as a driver, his sense of responsibility as a team principal, his unique talent as an entertainer, and his unusual habit of always making waves! I really love Kamui Kobayashi and the #7 car. Maybe it’s because they are a little like me….

In fact, Morizo is even happier than usual about the Brazilian result. Not only because of the frustration of Le Mans, but also for several other reasons.

One is Mike’s return. I was really sorry to see him miss Le Mans but I am so glad to see him back in one piece. I heard that he is not completely healed yet, but I hope he will recover well and I look forward to seeing him in the next race.

On the other hand, it was a little disappointing that Jose had not chance to race in his home continent of South America in the #7 car due to Mike’s return. It was the first WEC race in South America in 10 years and I think Jose himself would have really wanted to race in the #7. Jose went out of his way to visit his friends at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing and he also encouraged the local Brazilian supporters. I am once again thankful to have José as a family member.

And Ryan, who stood on the podium with the drivers as the engineer of the #8 car. Congratulations on your first podium! He came to Japan without a break after Le Mans and also engineered for us in Super Formula. His presence has brought the WEC team and me even closer together. I know it is hard for him to travel back and forth to Japan but I ask for his continued support.

Last but not least, there was big cheering section in Brazil, where Toyota friends gathered at the circuit for the first time in 10 years. South America is some distance from Japan and that makes it difficult for me to visit but I often feel the warmth of my friends in South America, who call me Morizo instead of Akio. This time, the support of these friends was undoubtedly the driving force behind car #8’s victory and car #7’s amazing pursuit of the lead. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support, my Brazilian friends!

Although the race was held at a distance, I felt as if I was fighting right beside the team. Kamui has built this team, and I would like to continue to fight right beside them as I aim for the championship.”

Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):

“For the team, this was definitely our week. We had good pace in qualifying then both cars were really strong in the race and we managed the tyre degradation really well. Congratulations to car #8 for the victory; they drove a great race. Obviously, car #7 had the potential to win but unfortunately we had an issue and that cost us time in the pits. From then on it was a difficult situation for us but we tried our best to come back, and fourth was the best we could realistically achieve. Thanks to the team for all their hard work. We will analyse what happened on our car and come back even stronger for the next races.”

 

Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):

“We had such a strong car all day. I made a mistake with the FCY, just over-speeding slightly, but we managed to get back into the lead anyway. We had really good tyre wear at that point and thought we were looking good. But at the end of my stint, we started to notice the issue. The team tried to fix it and we lost time, so we went all the way to the back. Kamui and Nyck drove well to get us back up to fourth. We couldn’t do any better in terms of a recovery, but we still feel like this one got away from us.”

 

Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):

“I think overall the weekend has been very positive. The performance has been great and the team did a stellar job. Kamui obviously qualified the car on pole, and all was looking positive. Unfortunately, this technical issue took away our opportunity to finish the job. It’s a pity. We did a very strong recovery between us to come back from last to fourth which was impressive. It hurts that we didn’t bring home the victory but I am very happy for car #8 to bring home the win for the team.”

 

Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):

“It is an amazing day for us on car #8, winning a race for the first time this year. We had a great car. Tyre management was one of our strengths, particularly the fact we could use the medium compound throughout the race which really helped us have good pace. I’m so happy to finally have a weekend without any issues after a tricky start to the season. We had a strong qualifying with the one-two but car #7 was unlucky with their issue. They were very fast and deserved a much better result than that. We scored good points in the manufacturers’ World Championship, and we will go to the next race aiming to keep that going.”

 

Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):

“It feels great to get the first win of the season. We haven’t had the best of seasons up to now on car #8 so to get this win is fantastic. Car #7 did an amazing race, they were flying today, so I feel bad for them. My first stint at the start was not easy, with a lot of tyre degradation but we got on top of that and had a nice, clean race. We got the win and that’s what matters. We also scored good points for the World Championship, so we want to keep this momentum for the next races.”

 

Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):

“I am so happy for our first victory of the year. It has been a long time since Bahrain when we last won but we never gave up and always pushed hard. My stint was not easy with the degradation, so I needed to look after the tyres. I had the chance to change tyres on the right-hand side but I still had to manage the tyres a lot, so I was happy I could keep the gap to the car behind. For the team in the manufacturers’ World Championship, it was important that we won the race, and I am happy we did it. Thanks to the fans for their support all weekend and thanks to the whole team for their huge effort this week. There are three races to go so we will keep pushing for the title.”

How Do We Make Better Cars?” The Evolution of Toyota’s Monozukuri

 

For the final part of our series on the 2024 General Shareholders’ Meeting, we look at Toyota’s carmaking perspective through the comments of Operating Officer Kazuaki Shingo and Hydrogen Factory President Mitsumasa Yamagata.

“How are you going to keep developing products that excite car lovers?” In the wake of certification issues and other events, there is concern among Toyota’s shareholders. Shingo, who serves as Chief Production Officer, fielded the question, drawing on his experience leading the development of the Prius.

The never-ending pursuit

Operating Officer Shingo

 

Allow me to share some of my thoughts on car development.

Having spent a long time developing cars at Toyota, I think that in the last 15 years or so (the company’s carmaking) has changed drastically.

I strongly feel that Chairman Akio Toyoda’s calls to “make ever-better cars” and become the best in each region were a major turning point.

Until then, the company was organized by function, with production plants wanting to make cars that were easy to build and the accounting department pushing for cars that made more money. We were divided by functions.

Yet when we received the challenge to “make ever-better cars,” we all got to thinking: how do we make our cars better?

What is needed to create ever-better cars from the customers’ perspective?

While we were figuring this out, Toyota started its in-house company system, and we shifted from that function-oriented mindset to everyone thinking about products—some people concentrating on commercial vehicles, others exclusively Lexus, while still others thought only about compact cars. I believe this product-focused approach gradually established the ever-better carmaking we have today, creating vehicles that delight customers in each region.

I would like to share an episode from the development of the current Prius. Since hybrids have become a widespread commodity, the Chairman suggested, “Why don’t we make the next Prius a taxi?”

 

By contrast, as developers, we thought that hybrids reaching maturity gave us the chance to take on the challenge of ever-better carmaking that could only be done with the Prius.

It was more of a discussion than a dispute, and when the Chairman saw the car that came out of it, he responded, “If that’s what you all want to make, then let’s make it.”

I think that through the pursuit of ever-better carmaking, we became a company where leaders and frontline members can have such conversations.

The making of ever-better cars through honest dialogue between company leaders and the genba. Like the Prius, this process also gave rise to the new Crown series, unveiled in 2022.

Later that year, on the first episode of Toyota Times News, host Yuta Tomikawa, Chairman Toyoda, and Executive Vice President & Mid-size Vehicle Company President Hiroki Nakajima reflected on the development of the Prius and Crown. They revealed that the new Crown started out with just a Crossover, but after a test drive, Chairman Toyoda placed an additional order for a Sedan—on top of which the development team proposed the Sport and Estate variations.

Chairman Toyoda said they “had gotten carried away,” and he was “honestly surprised.” “I think it was an eruption of energy from the development team, made possible by a relationship that allows for these kinds of conversations,” recalled Vice President Nakajima. “I finally understood what the president had been saying all this time about ‘making ever-better cars.’”

Such is the origin story of the latest Prius and Crown. During a Toyota Times Sports livestream from Rally Hokkaido 2023, Chairman Toyoda cited these two models as examples of ever-better carmaking.

I won on the Crown, but the Prius was claimed by people who didn’t want to side with me. I think it’s good that we became a product-centered company capable of having such discussions for the sake of making ever-better cars.

When I said we’re going to make ever-better cars, I was often asked, “What is a good car to you, Morizo?” My only response was, “You’ll have to figure that out for yourself.”

Yet, even though it took us 14 years, I feel we’ve become a company that produces many of what I consider to be ever-better cars. I believe we need to ensure that our product-centered approach and commitment to the genba continue to be passed down.

“Making ever-better cars” was established as a core concept by Chairman Toyoda and passed down to the current leadership team. At the shareholder meeting, Operating Officer Shingo wrapped up his response with the following words:

“I see ever-better carmaking as a never-ending pursuit. We will continue working as one to create cars that bring even greater happiness and make our customers feel they were worth the wait.”

Like flowers and bees

Shareholders also voiced concerns that, despite alternative fuels being developed, the lack of progress in providing refueling stations could leave gasoline vehicle users unable to drive their cars in the future.

Hydrogen Factory President Mitsumasa Yamagata said he foresees “a shift from fossil fuels to an era of electricity and hydrogen” before adding “However…”

President Yamagata

 

However, this process will involve effectively using various fuels, including synthetic fuels and biofuels, in combination with electric capabilities. We believe that depending on the circumstances of different people around the world, hybrids and plug-in hybrids can also help achieve carbon neutrality more quickly.

 

I believe your question was, “What are you going to do about stations for all these different fuels that are being developed?” Take for example Brazil, which uses ethanol, a biofuel made from grains. In fact, gasoline in Japan already contains a certain percentage of (ETBE synthesized from) this ethanol.

Here, we believe work can be done with the fuel industry to gradually increase ethanol use.

Similarly, refueling stations pose a major challenge for hydrogen and must be developed in tandem. We make the Mirai, the world’s first mass-produced fuel cell vehicle, which runs by converting hydrogen into electricity.

 

By expanding the use of this technology more broadly to heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles, we hope to spur the spread of refueling stations as well.

Stations and mobility always go hand in hand, like flowers and bees. I ask for your understanding so that we can work together to create that relationship and advance a carbon-neutral future.

As Toyota strives to provide “Mobility for All,” President Yamagata highlighted the importance of developing not only fuels but also the accompanying infrastructure.

In this final article of our four-part feature on the 2024 General Shareholders’ Meeting, we shared responses by Operating Officer Shingo and President Yamagata, as they sought to allay shareholder concerns about the future of cars.

“We will continue working as one to create cars that bring even greater happiness.” (Operating Officer Shingo)
“We can work together to advance a carbon-neutral future.” (President Yamagata)

Even as the auto industry undergoes a once-in-a-century transformation, their words seem to reflect Toyota’s commitment to ensuring no one is left behind.
