![]() This necessitates their warehouse carrying some 70,000 different product lines, with 1.5 million items in stock, valued at around $28m. One in four vehicles on the road in New Zealand is a Toyota, and the combined fleet of Toyota, Lexus and Daihatsu vehicles is almost one million. ![]() If you’re wondering why Toyota needs all this space to store its auto parts, the following facts may surprise you. Toyota New Zealand’s National Customer Centre is located in a massive facility at Kelvin Grove near Palmerston North Airport, and on 7 December last year Mayor Grant Smith opened a $20m, 11,000m2 extension to the existing 24,000m2 warehouse. John Oxley went to Palmerston North to have a look at Toyota’s parts department – and came away amazed.That Post Haste is a company with a nationwide footprint is evidenced not only by their network of branches, but by the fact that one of their major clients is not even based in a main centre. In a country where around one in four vehicles is a Toyota, Lexus or Daihatsu, this is a big ask, and the nett result is that Toyota NZ has more than $25-million of parts stock in its local inventory, and most of them available within 24 hours anywhere in the country.Īnd that’s no idle boast.
