TOYOTA, Japan - Toyota is ready to ramp up its growth again, emerging from an intentional soul-searching lull brought on by its global recall scandal that began in 2009.
The world's top-selling automaker outlined a new "architecture" on Thursday (March 26 2015) focused on product development and manufacturing initiatives it hopes will be more fail-proof against quality problems, and allow it to keep growing in a "sustainable" way.
Its first cars under the new system, medium-sized front-wheel drive units, will roll out later in 2015 and be expanded to half its model range by 2020, the Japanese automaker said.
