Based on its Group slogan of “Light you up,” Daihatsu and its sales companies nationwide are promoting the provision of new mobility services, with the aim of developing a close affinity with its customers in local communities. As part of a collaboration between industry, government, academia, and private organizations , Daihatsu and its sales companies have sought to forge links with these communities by taking part in Community-Based Projects ; since 2018, they have been investigating business models for car-sharing services that reflect Daihatsu’s unique approach to local communities.

The Toyota Share car-sharing service will be offered by Daihatsu Hiroshima Co., Ltd., Oita Daihatsu Co., Ltd., Daihatsu Tokyo Co., Ltd., and Daihatsu Numazu Co., Ltd. By integrating the system in the Toyota Group, and by offering a wide-ranging line-up of high-quality vehicles through Daihatsu sales companies, the service will benefit from improved serviceability and affordable pricing. Daihatsu’s participation in Toyota Share, which has already been rolled out nationwide, will help the Toyota Group engage in the provision of mobility services that are rooted in local communities.

Going forward, Daihatsu intends to gradually expand the areas in which it offers Toyota Share Daihatsu Stations, and so support local communities with its own unique approach to MaaS, such as offering mobility services both in depopulated areas and in tourist destinations. In this way, the company will provide as many customers as possible with a comfortable car life.
