President Director of PT TMMIN, Bob Azam added that the achievement demonstrates the strength of Indonesia’s national human resources, which excels not only in terms of population but also in high competitiveness because they have successfully produced high-tech automotive products for the global market.
Toyota Indonesia's export activities started in 1987 with the shipment of the 3rd generation 'Kijang Super' – the Unser's predecessor – to Brunei Darussalam with a modest volume of 50 units per month.
Since the introduction of the Innovative Multi-Purpose Vehicle (IMV) project in 2004, Toyota Indonesia became the export base of the Innova, exporting up to 7,000 units annually to various countries as well as meeting domestic demands.

In addition to the Innova, the export of Toyota vehicles made in Sunter and Karawang has grown, including models like the Fortuner, Vios, Avanza, Agya, Rush, and various Toyota engines.
Besides exporting Completely Built Up (CBU) vehicles, Toyota Indonesia also exports CKD packages, component parts, and even production dies and jigs. Since 2019, conversion vehicles like cash carriers, well-cabs, and patrol cars have also been exported by Toyota Indonesia to foreign countries.
