January, 2006 |
KYB, the world's largest producer of OE shock absorbers, has continued
to strengthen its relationship with Toyota by supplying shocks as
original equipment (OE) for the second generation Yaris.
KYB's world class front and rear shock absorbers will be fitted
on the new Yaris, ensuring high levels of road grip, handling, performance
and safety. KYB shock absorbers are carefully designed to soften
impact and absorb vibrations to improve driver and passenger comfort.
Built at Toyota's plant in Valencienne, France, the new Yaris will
be launched in January 2006.
Managing Director of KYB Europe, Hajime Sato said: "With over 70
years experience, KYB's expertise and advanced technological developments
enable us to meet the needs of both the vehicle manufacturer and
the motorist. Supplying an innovative carmaker such as Toyota is
excellent for the KYB brand."
Globally, KYB supplies numerous original equipment vehicle manufacturers
(OEMs) including Audi-VW Group, Daimler-Chrysler, Ford, General
Motors, Mitsubishi, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault.
In addition to shock absorbers, KYB also supplies a number of automotive
components for the aftermarket including coil springs, suspension
mounting kits and protection kits.
