“I truly believe this is a product that can enhance the quality of life for many people and provide new economic opportunities.”

As reported by PNA, TMP Chairman Alfred Ty mentioned their current plan of investing Php 5.5 billion for the return of the Toyota Tamaraw. During BBM’s visits to Japan in 2023, Toyota said they’d spend a big part of this money, showing they believe in the Philippine market, and by the third quarter of 2024 when the Tamaraw is set to come out, Toyota plans to have used up all this investment.
“It’s moving, it’s rolling out. We’re preparing for that, and by third quarter that (Tamaraw) should be ready to roll out to the market.”

At present, Toyota has already spent over P1.3 billion, which is 25% of the total amount they plan to spend, which includes making their factory better and studying the market to understand what truck buyers want. Moreover, the launch of the fully imported Lite Ace in 2022 helped Toyota learn more about this market.
For Toyota, aiming for that perfect bullseye means really going all in with a massive Php 5.5 billion investment. With that kind of money on the line, the Toyota Tamaraw is definitely something big to look forward to later this year.
