Daihatsu, the Toyota Motor subsidiary that was the victim of the scandal, intends to fully resume car development by the end of this year. The president of the compact car maker told reporters, adding that he sees opportunities in South America and Africa. Last year, Daihatsu was revealed to have rigged safety tests on some 88,000 vehicles, most of them sold under the Toyota brand, in a scandal poses a reputational risk to Japan’s largest automaker. New President Masahiro Inoue was sent in from Toyota to turn Daihatsu around and put it on a path to growth. The resumption of development of new cars will be an important milestone for the brand. “Once we determine measures to prevent a recurrence (of the certification problem), we would like to move forward as early as the end of the year,” Inouye said, adding that minor changes to the models could happen even sooner. “Emerging markets are perfect for us, as if we were throwing a fastball right into the center of the strike zone. South America and Africa are markets that should be the focus for development over the next ten years.”
