Toyoda Gosei Launches Horizontal Recycling Technology for Plastic Automotive Parts Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. has developed a new technology to recycle high-quality plastic from end-of-life vehicles in order to meet the growing demand for recycled plastic in the automotive industry against strengthened environmental regulations. This technology will contribute to decarbonized, circular economy through its use in various vehicles models starting with the Toyota Camry. In the recycling of waste plastic, it has been difficult to obtain plastic with performance equivalent to that of new material due to impurities or other factors, and so waste plastic has generally been burned to recover heat (thermal recycling) or reused for purposes with lower required performance (downcycling). Toyoda Gosei has developed a recycled plastic with performance equivalent to thatof new material even with 50% ELV plastic (polypropylene). To achieve this, Toyoda Gosei has collaborated with Isono Co. Ltd. to procure quality raw materials for recycling and leveraged Toyoda Gosei's original material modification technology, meeting the quality standards for automotive parts for practical application. This technology accelerates horizontal recycling for reuse in the same parts and contributes to CO2 reduction. It is the first time in the world4 that recycled plastic containing 50% ELV plastic is used in interior parts such as glove boxes that require impact resistance. Toyoda Gosei is advancing recycling plastic and rubber with decarbonization as a key aim, based on its medium- and long-term 2030 Business Plan. Going forward, Toyoda Gosei aims to expand applicable products, such as those associated with vehicle design, and will move ahead with the improvement of recycled plastic. In the European Commission policy to strengthen environmental regulations (ELV directive), the use of recycled plastic is expected to be mandated in new vehicles sold from 2031 onward. Manufactured in Japan, used on the Camry launched in Europe and other parts of the world since 2024. Use of this recycled plastic leads to a CO2 reduction of up to about 40% when used in parts manufacture (depends on product size and other factors; calculated using IDEA developed by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology).

Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. Develops System for Efficient Calculation of Truck Loads Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. has developed a system that uses smartphone 3D sensing (LiDAR1) to easily calculate truck load capacity without place restrictions. When planning truck allocation and routing at present, load volumes are regularly checked for optimization based on production volumes at each of the plants of Toyoda Gosei’s automaker customers. Previously, a person in charge of each route confirmed cargo beds visually, but judgment criteria varied and the number of trucks that could be checked was limited. To deal with these issues, in 2023 Toyoda Gosei developed a 24-hour-a-day automatic load calculation system using AI and fixed cameras. This system was introduced at two distribution centers that account for 60% of the company’s product transport, raising loading efficiency. The newly developed load calculation system is easy to use anywhere since processing can be completed on a smartphone, and highly accurate calculations can be done with a LiDAR scanner. Using this mobile system, efforts to improve transport efficiency will be spread to direct delivery and other routes from Toyoda Gosei’s production locations dispersed throughout the country, which account for the remaining forty percent of product transport.

Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. Develops System to Experience Vehicle Interior Sounds with Sealing Parts for Quieter Cabin Space Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. has developed a new system that enables automotive developers to experience changes in vehicle interior sounds with different combinations of the sealing parts (weatherstrips) installed on those vehicles. This contributes to the creation of more comfortable moving spaces through improved quietness in cabin. The electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles that are coming into wider use are quieter than traditional vehicles since they are driven by motors and have no engine noise. This means that more wind noise and road noise reach the ear, and demands better sound insulation parts. To meet these needs, Toyoda Gosei has been developing high performance sealing parts. The company’s new system makes it possible, in the design concept stage before deciding the shape of parts for new models, to hear driving sounds with sealing parts under development installed. This will lead to proposals for the best combination of sealing parts for the creation of quieter cabin space. It also helps to minimize the design changes in parts that have traditionally occurred following performance assessments of prototype vehicles, which is promising for the reduction of development worker-hours. This system was achieved with the assessment technology using actual measurements of sound that Toyoda Gosei has cultivated up to this time. The company is planning to further raise the predictive accuracy of the new system by combining machine learning with artificial intelligence, to predict and reproduce how sound will be heard even before part prototypes are made. By proposing parts that raise quietness in the early stages of vehicle development, Toyoda Gosei aims to contribute to quieter and more comfortable mobility in society. Announcement • Sep 03
