TOKYO (Reuters) – Toyota Motor Corp said on Wednesday that Hino Motors had been expelled from a commercial vehicle partnership which the Japanese automaker leads following the truckmaker’s widening scandal over falsification of engine data.
The partnership was established in April 2021 by Toyota, Hino and Isuzu Motors to facilitate technology development for commercial vehicles. Suzuki Motor Corp and Daihatsu joined in July the same year.
