Toyota range expansion delivers complete fleet proposition

Toyota’s expanding commercial vehicle line-up makes it one of only a few brands to offer vans and pick-up trucks in every size category.

With plans to advance its connected and data-based services, enhance its dealerships and offer turn-key conversions, Toyota Professional is ready to offer a complete fleet proposition for the first time.

Central to this evolution is the introduction of Proace Max, Toyota’s first large van. It arrives alongside facelifted versions of the Proace City and Proace. All three are based on Stellantis platforms.

Toyota offers diesel and electric powertrain options across its Proace van line-up, while hybrid power is available on both the Corolla Commercial and Hilux.

This breadth of choice aligns with Toyota’s multi-path technology strategy, which deploys different solutions that can reduce CO2 emissions while offering the affordability, practicality and flexibility that customers need.

Gareth Matthews (pictured below), LCV manager at Toyota , says: “We pride ourselves on the fact that a really high percentage of our overall volume is core fleet. But, historically, not being able to provide a van in every segment meant that even though we've got a really good relationship with certain fleet customers, if they need a heavy van as part of their fleet they have to go elsewhere.

“The launch of Proace Max enables us to have a far more solus type of relationship with some of the biggest fleets and offer a complete proposition covering every segment, as well as to provide a car option if they have cars on fleet with Toyota and Lexus.”
