R&D
Tire and vibration control technologies as the core,
Working on new technologies, the development of new products.
The core competence of the Toyo Tire Group is our technical strength. Toyo
Tires oﬀers new value through diﬀerentiation of its core tire and vibration
control technologies.
We are working to raise the bar of quality even higher through our tire
technologies: Nano Balance Technology, which controls rubber material
design at the molecular level; T-MODE, a high-eﬃciency and high-precision
tire design base technologies through fusion with AI; e-balance, our newenvironmentally friendly truck & bus tire technology platform; and A.T.O.M.,
which achieves high-quality tire production.
Utilizing our vibration control technologies, we are focused on developing
featuring our core anti-vibration rubber that controls passenger car engine
and body vibration.
We are also working to develop new products by integrating technologies
developed independently for tires and auto components.

Nano Balance Technology

Being the essential material of tires, TOYO TIRESʼ rubber has atechnologically unique and exclusive design on a nano level(1 nanometer = 1 billionth of a meter). Our rubber is derived
through simulation, function creation, precision control andresearch. That is Nano Balance Technology from Toyo Tires.

T-MODE
T-MODE is a platform using simulations with AI integrated
design technology to develop innovative tires with evenhigher speed and more functions.

e-balance
A new technology for truck and bus tires that achieves the“e” eﬀect of ecology, energy, economy and endurance.

A.T.O.M.（Advanced Tire Operation Module）

A.T.O.M. is a highly scalable, proprietary system that can ﬂexibly
respond to changes in production plans as market demand trends
dictate. It features high quality, a small footprint, multi-productsmall-lot production, and a high level of automation.

Technology to support business development centerWe are embracing the challenge of raising new tire performance to a
new level, performing precise performance evaluations to deliver
remarkable products to society. In developing tire technology,technology development sites in the United States, Japan and Europe
are where we reﬁne our proprietary knowledge and cutting-edge
technology, and where we perform actual vehicle testing on tire test
courses.
The keys to our Automotive Parts Business are gathering information
on new technology in the ever-evolving automobile industry,
establishing new technologies in order to achieve the performancerequirements of car makers, and developing high-added-value
products. The Automotive Parts Technical Center is where we tackle
these keys from multiple angles and develop the technical capability toanalyze and evaluate
in order to create theexact auto parts thatcustomers are seeking.

Corporate Technology Center, Developing Core Technology to Support the Future
The Corporate Technology Center, where we establish the direction oftechnology development for the company as a whole, is positioned in thecompany as a common platform from which basic technology ﬂows
down to each business unit. The Corporate Technology Center develops
the seeds of proprietary technology in each business unit, which in turnleads to individual manufacturing technology. The Center is also working
on new research with an aim of developing technologies of the future.
The Toyo Tires Group is further working to create new materials andtechnologies, boost our core technology and enhance the environmentof our research centers in order to contribute to growth of our corebusinesses, and we are further bolstering our research and testing
environments with our sights set on creating new businesses.
Toyo Tires is also harnessing its production technology functions tocreate a synergistic eﬀect in an eﬀort to fortify our R&D foundation thatwill support our companyʼs business well into the future.
