The blockchain technology is being used widely in various fields and sectors, and among the most prominent sectors that are seen to be among the future beneficiaries of the blockchain technology is the automotive sector.
A virtual organization has been formed that includes the Toyota Group with its various branches, from Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota Financial Services and four other subsidiary companies, all of which fall under the Toyota Group. This organization was formed exactly last year in April 2019.
The organization is named "Toyota Blockchain Lab" and the organization was created with the aim of exploring and testing the use of blockchain technology in cars manufactured by the company.
Digital information and data has become a vital role, especially as we live in an era and a time period in which everything is digitized. As such, the successful application of blockchain technology will allow the auto industry to exercise the process of collecting information and exchanging data with advanced security and better transparency.
This will inevitably benefit the industry as well as the users.
Since April 2019, what has been achieved by the "Toyota Blockchain Lab", the answer will be as follows:
Successful initiatives
Clients:
One of the applications and successful initiatives that Toyota has been able to test the blockchain technology in its industry is to improve the customer experience.
The blockchain technology will be able to help auto customers benefit from two great options more efficiently, which is to share identification points and related services.
On the other hand, this technology will also help businesses improve their existing customer information management structure.
Vehicles:
Blockchain technology will allow Toyota to access accurate information related to vehicle life cycles. A comprehensive analysis of this data will help identify defects so that improvements can be made to improve vehicle service.
Supply chain:
The blockchain technology will also help to make the supply chain function for automotive business more useful, as registration will become transparent and the information related to manufacturing, logistics, etc. will be shared, meaning that the blockchain will help improve this information and also improve transparency and traceability until a better decision is made in the operation.
Digitization:
Blockchain technology will make financing methods more dynamic and diversified by digitizing various tangible and intangible assets for businesses such as vehicles, intellectual property rights, etc.
Therefore, building strong and healthy relationships with stakeholders will become a very easy task.

* Toyota Finance Company.
* Denso Corporation.
* Toyota Systems Inc.
* Toyota Central Research and Development.
However, the group plans to expand its cooperation with another competitive partner, to further realize the potential of blockchain technology in the automotive industry.
