Toyota Official Dealers in Turkmenistan Reach Record-Breaking Sales Milestone
01 Apr. 16:38In 2025, Toyota achieved an unprecedented commercial milestone in Turkmenistan, marking a historic peak in regional sales performance. According to the brand's official distributor, "Toyota Central Asia FZE," the volume of vehicles sold reached its highest level since the company began operations in the country. This significant growth reflects the strong market position of the Japanese automaker and the increasing consumer preference for its reliable vehicle lineup.
To celebrate this accomplishment, official dealers "Beýik Ýüpek Ýoly" and "Garagum Ulag" hosted special events at their respective showrooms. A highlight of the celebrations was the recognition of milestone customers, Gurbangeldi Annayev and Atageldi Matjiyev. These clients were presented with an exclusive extended service package, which includes six complimentary technical maintenance sessions valid for three years or up to 60,000 kilometers, ensuring long-term peace of mind for the owners.
The sales diversity was showcased by the purchase of prominent models such as the Toyota Hiace and the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. The Hiace continues to be a preferred choice for businesses and large families due to its versatility and durability. Meanwhile, the Land Cruiser Prado remains a symbol of off-road excellence and urban sophistication, proving its effectiveness across varied terrains. These sales underscore the diverse utility that Toyota provides to the Turkmen automotive market.
Toyota’s strategic expansion in Turkmenistan is supported by professional centers located in Ashgabat and Balkanabat. By offering high-quality after-sales support and authentic spare parts, dealers like "Garagum Ulag" and "Beýik Ýüpek Ýoly" have solidified their reputation for excellence. These initiatives are part of a broader goal to strengthen the brand's footprint in the local market while continuously enhancing the customer experience through premium services and technical support.


On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
