Toyota Indonesia Receives 2026 Primaniyarta Award in the FTA Utilization Exporter Category

Tangerang, Banten (October 14, 2026) – Toyota’s 55-year journey in Indonesia has been part of the development of the national automotive industry, particularly in enhancing production capabilities and competitiveness in the global market. Since exporting its first vehicles in 1987, PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) has continued to expand the export markets for vehicles manufactured in Indonesia. To date, more than 3 million Toyota vehicles made in Indonesia have been exported to countries around the world, supported by the Indonesian Government and various stakeholders in developing the national automotive industry.

To expand its export markets, TMMIN leverages various Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) between Indonesia and its trading partner countries. These include the Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA), including the User Specific Duty Free Scheme (USDFS), the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA), and the Indonesia–United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IUAE-CEPA). The utilization of trade facilities in accordance with applicable regulations supports the smooth export of automotive products made in Indonesia to Japan, ASEAN countries, and the United Arab Emirates.

In recognition of its contribution to export activities, TMMIN received the 2026 Primaniyarta Award in the FTA Utilization Exporter category. The award was presented by Minister of Trade Budi Santoso on Wednesday (October 14, 2026), as part of the 41st Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI), held from October 14–18, 2026, at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD, Tangerang, Banten, under the theme “The Ultimate Hub for Global Sourcing”.

Behind this export achievement lies the support of the national automotive industry ecosystem, which plays an important role in TMMIN’s manufacturing activities. Currently, TMMIN’s production activities involve approximately 360,000 workers and are supported by 760 suppliers across Tiers 1 to 3. The involvement of workers and suppliers in this supply chain helps sustain production activities and strengthens the Indonesian automotive industry’s ability to meet global market demand.

“We would like to express our gratitude to the Indonesian Government, through the Ministry of Trade, for presenting TMMIN with the 2026 Primaniyarta Award in the FTA Utilization Exporter category. This award is part of TMMIN’s long journey in developing manufacturing and export activities from Indonesia, supported by various stakeholders. We hope that the trade cooperation continuously fostered by the government will further expand access to new markets, enabling automotive products made in Indonesia to reach more countries and become increasingly competitive in the global market,” said Nandi Julyanto, President Director of PT TMMIN.

Cumulatively, from the first export in 1987 through September 2026, Toyota Indonesia has exported a total of 3,375,490 locally manufactured Completely Built-Up (CBU) vehicles to more than 100 countries across Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Oceania. In addition to fully built vehicles, Toyota Indonesia’s exports also include Completely Knocked-Down (CKD) vehicles, automotive components, complete engines and engine components, as well as dies and jigs to support production requirements in various countries.

Toyota-branded CBU vehicle exports have also continued to perform strongly in 2026. Through the third quarter of 2026, CBU exports reached 223,696 units, accounting for 60.3% of Indonesia’s total CBU exports of 371,260 units. This represents a 2.5% increase compared with the same period in the previous year, further strengthening Toyota Indonesia’s contribution to the country’s national CBU export performance.

Strengthening Industry Readiness for the Global Automotive Transformation

At TEI 2026, TMMIN showcased a range of products reflecting the development of Indonesia’s manufacturing industry. Unlike the previous year, TMMIN also featured a locally developed product, Kopi Wonosalam, which has received TMMIN’s support since 2024 through the implementation of the Toyota Production System (TPS) to improve productivity and production process efficiency. TMMIN also presented a cut-body display of the Veloz Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), demonstrating Indonesia’s capabilities in manufacturing electrified vehicles. In addition, TMMIN showcased the Innova Zenix HEV Cash Carrier Vehicle (CCV), a converted vehicle that demonstrates the flexibility of Toyota products in meeting diverse usage requirements.

As the adoption of electrification technologies continues to increase in the global automotive industry, TMMIN strives to further expand Indonesia’s manufacturing contribution to Toyota’s supply chain, from complete vehicles to key components for electrified vehicles. In the second half of 2026, TMMIN will commence exports of HEV battery pack assemblies. On the vehicle side, exports of electrified models manufactured in Indonesia continue through the Kijang Innova Zenix HEV and Yaris Cross HEV. Through the third quarter of 2026, exports of these two models reached 25,752 units, representing a 64% increase compared with the same period in the previous year.

This achievement demonstrates that Indonesia’s contribution to the global automotive industry continues to grow, not only through the export of complete vehicles but also through batteries and components that support the electrification ecosystem.

“The transformation toward electrification is part of a major shift in the global automotive industry. For Indonesia, this development presents an opportunity to further enhance manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, enabling the country to become more than just a market for electrified vehicles and to take part in their production and export. We continue to strive to increase exports of electrified products, including not only complete vehicles but also their key components,” said I Nyoman Winaya Adnyana, Vice President Director of TMMIN.

In the second half of this year, TMMIN will also begin direct shipments of automotive components for the aftermarket to the United States. This development marks the growing diversity of Indonesian-manufactured products reaching global markets.

For TMMIN, exports reflect the national industry’s ability to produce goods and carry out manufacturing processes in accordance with international market requirements. Going forward, TMMIN will continue to develop value-added products and strengthen its manufacturing and export activities to support the growth of national trade and industry. (*)
