AXLBRE - Axle, gear and transfer box breather extension kit

When drivetrain assemblies such as your vehicle’s differentials case heat up under normal operation, the air inside expands and increases the pressure. To vent this additional pressure, most factory differentials have a one-way valve mounted to either the assembly itself, or on a short extension tube close by. Unfortunately, when the drivetrain assembly cools down, the air inside contracts, creating a vacuum. When cooling occurs during a water crossing, these one-way valves can draw water into the system, potentially causing expensive damage. Our axle breather kit is designed to provide a high flow, zero back pressure, zero vacuum breather system to keep your drivetrain free of water. This is achieved with a central high flow air filter and manifold that will allow up to four drivetrain assemblies to be vented to one central location, positioned high enough to avoid water during crossings.

In order to offer any real benefit in a safety or security application the glass must be removed from the vehicle and treated. PROFILON © is only sold including installation. Installation is a critical factor to the success of the final result , not only from a visual standpoint but also in terms of proper security. Different types and sizes of glass and framing require different installation techniques to provide the best security results. PROFILON © is fitted on all the side windows of the Land cruiser.

With non-braked trailers, the maximum weight to be towed should not exceed 50% of the gross vehicle weight of the towing vehicle.

TOWB-TOWU - Towing Packages

Although towing does not necessarily mean you can carry more weight with your vehicle, it does mean that you can carry more volume. This can be particularly useful when you need more cargo space for your project work, assisting your team to carry additional equipment they need or simply rescuing your colleagues by collecting the cargo from their stricken vehicle. Our towing packages are designed to provide all the essential towing accessories required to tow with your vehicle. The TOWB package is configured with a 50mm tow ball and the TOWU package is configured with a combined ball & pin coupling. The TOWU adds increased versatility to your vehicle’s towing capability, as you are able to tow trailers with a conventional 50mm tow ball configuration or those with a NATO coupling. Additionally, we apply a 15% discount to all the items in this package when purchased together. Components subject to vehicle applicability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Always check the physical condition of the vehicle for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Similarly, always check that the vehicle contents have not been tampered with. Spare parts packages should be steel-banded and the anti-theft box (if fitted) should be locked and chained to a fixed part of the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

RORO, FCL and car carrier are the most common shipment methods used by TGS. RORO (roll on, roll off) refers to a ship specially equipped to handle the shipment of vehicles allowing them to be rolled on and off. FCL (full load container) refers to when vehicles are placed inside 20 foot or 40 foot containers and shipped onboard container vessels. Car carriers refers to road transport of vehicles on specially-made vehicles which can transport several vehicles at a time. In general terms, RORO shipments are more economical than FCL, whilst FCL shipments can provide greater security. Car carriers are normally utilised for shipment of vehicles from port to inland destinations. TGS provides different combinations of services to many of the most common destinations thus giving the customer the chance to choose the most appropiate service.

Hiace Ambulance

Ideal for both inner and outer town use, the Hiace Ambulance provides a comfortable, refined and economical alternative to much larger and cumbersome ambulances.

Important Information

Toyota warrants that it will either repair or replace any part that Toyota supplies that is defective in material or workmanship under normal use, except those items listed under "What is not covered" for a minimum period of 12 months or 20,000km or (12,000 miles), however, exact warranty periods will vary by country. Full Official Toyota warranty and after sales service will be provided with the vehicles supplied by TGS matching that offered by the local Toyota Distributor. The pre-delivery inspection (PDI) and the application of Toyota Warranty will be carried out by the local Toyota Distributor. The distributor will also issue the Toyota Warranty Booklet and will carry out a 1,000km service free of charge except for lubricants, fluids or filters used. Please note that in some countries this service may be carried out after 5,000km. In the few countries where there is no Toyota Distributor, warranty is still provided by TGS. The terms of the warranty are identical to the Toyota factory warranty, but arrangements for any necessary warranty matters have to be made through TGS (After Sales and Quality Assurance team).

Marine Insurance

A full marine insurance service is offered by TGS, providing excellent cover for your vehicles or spare parts whilst in transit. The policy is held with Lloyd's of London, and gives cover from origin to destination worldwide. Cover starts when the vehicle leaves our workshops and will end whenever the delivery terms are met. For instance, if the delivery terms are CIP or CIF, then the insurance cover will expire when your order has arrived to the port or place of destination respectively. In terms of CIF, this also means that your vehicle can remain under proper insurance cover, even if there is an unforeseen delay in clearing the vehicle from the final port. If a claim is necessary, TGS will be happy to do much of the work for you, and can process a claim through the insurance company on your behalf. All you need to do is to inform us of the circumstances that make the claim necessary, and we will provide guidance and will prepare the claim for submission. We can also provide information to the insurers which may not be easily available to the consignee (for example, the replacement cost of stolen items).

Pre-Shipment Inspection

Pre-shipment inspections (PSI) are required when mandated by the government of the importing country. Governments impose pre-shipment inspections to ensure that the price charged by the exporter reflects the true value of the goods, prevent substandard goods from entering their country, and mitigate attempts to avoid the payment of customs duties. Contracts for pre-shipment inspections are usually reviewed on an annual basis by the relevant countries. Importers may contact their local inspection companies, or freight forwarders for up-dated information. Kindly note that many aid and charity organisations are exempt from the inspection procedure, since the vehicle importation is not a commercial transaction but a donation from the NGOs head office to their country office. This should be checked with the local authorities

Privacy Policy

Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings Limited – TGS - (“we”) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. On this page we describe how we may make use of any personal data that you may supply to us when you visit this website. Please read the following to carefully understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Responsibilities of the Parts department

We support our vehicle inventory with a stock of genuine Toyota spare parts and accessories procured world-wide. This allows us to provide full Spare Parts Packages for shipment inside vehicles thus saving clients both time and money. Our fully computerised parts system, managing over 12,000 line items, is linked via electronic data interchange (EDI) to the massive stock depot of the Toyota Parts Centre (TPCE) located near Brussels. This enables us to respond to critical "vehicle off the road" situations by providing immediate access to the full range of Toyota parts. We also control a large range of accessories for our vehicles, which together with the spare parts are housed in our fully bonded (i.e. tax-free) warehouse. As part of the Toyota Europe distribution network, we have an efficient and fast supply service working to a priority system. For any part not available at TPCE, we have an automatic switch to Toyota in Japan for supply. We carry a wide range of options for fitting to vehicles as well as specialist product items, such as communication equipment, ballistic blankets, security and safety devices and medical equipment. This equipment is mainly procured directly from manufacturers, including Australia, America and Europe in our efforts to provide the best quality items at the best possible prices. We hold a large number of tyres in stock and are agents for Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin and Dunlop. The more commonly used 4x4 accessories such as bull bars, tow hooks, winches etc., are available from stock to be fitted to our stock vehicles. Many of our spare parts orders, particularly service parts and maintenance parts kit, are shipped inside the vehicle, ensuring timely arrival, immediate availability, and considerable savings in freight and customs charges. The immediate availability is particularly important when the vehicles are to be used in some of the more remote areas of Africa, where genuine Toyota parts are not so readily available.

Tow Truck

TGS has released a new tow truck conversion using the Land Cruiser 79 Single Cabin. "The new tow truck is designed to be a rugged and reliable workhorse, capable of towing heavy loads in even the most demanding conditions, becoming a valuable asset to our customers," explains Ian Martinez, TGS Workshop Manager.

The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The new tow truck conversion includes many features that make it ideal for towing. These features include a heavy-duty tow bar, a winch, and a rear-mounted light bar. The tow truck also incorporates storage space, used to carry towing equipment or other cargo.

Vehicle Inspection

The official hand over of your order is a crucial part of the delivery process. When taking delivery of your vehicle(s), it is important to check the physical condition for any damage that may have occurred during transit. It is also important to check that the contents have not been tampered with and no items or parts are missing. It is therefore imperative that you do not sign a Clean Receipt for the vehicle without checking it first. Any damage or loss must be recorded on the delivery note. If any damage or missing items are not recorded on the delivery note the shipping line or freight forwarders will not accept responsibility, thus making a claim against them will not be possible. TGS have produced a simple Vehicle Inspection Form that may assist you during the inspection process. Any findings can be recorded on this form. TGS will also include a Receiving a New Vehicle Checklist with the shipping documents sent to you which highlights all the points to follow once your order has been shipped. The following video illustrates how TGS would typically inspect vehicles when these arrive in Gibraltar from the factory.

Vehicle maintenance

You are responsible for properly operating, maintaining and caring for your vehicle in accordance with the instructions contained in your Owner’s Manual. If your vehicle is subject to use under severe driving conditions, you should follow the maintenance requirements specified accordingly in your Owner’s Manual. TGS urge you to protect your new vehicle by having your Toyota serviced according to the maintenance schedule. Regular maintenance will aid: Safety Reliability Long vehicle life Good fuel economy Driving enjoyment Warranty coverage Compliance with government regulations Your Toyota has been designed to be driven and maintained economically. Many formerly required maintenance items are no longer required or are not required as often. To make sure your vehicle runs at peak efficiency, follow the maintenance schedule which can be found on our website, under Maintenance Schedules, or in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

Vehicle maintenance schedules

The information contained in the files mentioned below is a verbatim extract from the Toyota owner's manual for the models which are either stocked or have been stocked by TGS. The information is offered as a guideline only and is subject to the driving conditions which prevail in the country of operation and the specific conditions under which each vehicle is being operated. Clearly, vehicles which are being deployed in abnormally harsh operating conditions will require more frequent maintenance. Please apply common sense to these Toyota guidelines, and also refer to Special Operating Conditions

What is CSR?

Corporate social responsibility may also be called the corporate conscience. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. In TGS we go beyond just compliance, we engage in actions that further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law. It is aligned to our vision and we have a values driven approach to our business and staff.

What warranty do the parts/accessories have that I have just purchased?

1 year against manufacturing defect.

Wherever possible, Toyota incorporates key safety features as standard into the specifications of models TGS stock. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a case in point.

African Journey - Part 10

Part 10 of our African Journey starts in Lusaka, Zambia, a landlocked country in Southern-Central Africa. Its neighbours are the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, Namibia to the southwest, and Angola to the west. Lusaka, located in the south-central part of Zambia, is the nation’s capital. The population is concentrated mainly around Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt Province to the northwest, the core economic hubs of the country.

Zambia is located on the plateau of Central Africa, between 1000 and 1600 m above sea level. The average altitude of 1,200 metres generally has a moderate climate. The climate of Zambia is tropical, modified by elevation. Most of the country is classified as humid subtropical or tropical wet and dry.

There are two main seasons, the rainy season (November to April) corresponding to summer, and the dry season (May to October), corresponding to winter. The dry season is subdivided into the cool dry season (May to August), and the hot dry season (September to October). The modifying influence of altitude gives the country pleasant subtropical weather rather than tropical conditions during the cool season of May to August. However, average monthly temperatures remain above 20 °C (68 °F) over most of the country for eight or more months of the year.

Economically, Zambia totalled $9.1 billion worth of exports in 2018. About 60.5% of Zambians live below the recognised national poverty line, with rural poverty rates standing at about 77.9%[76] and urban rates at about 27.5%. Unemployment and underemployment in urban areas are serious problems. Most rural Zambians are subsistence farmers.

Zambia has some of nature's best wildlife and game reserves affording the country with abundant tourism potential. The North Luangwa, South Luangwa and Kafue National Parks have one of the most prolific animal populations in Africa. The Victoria Falls in the Southern part of the country is a major tourist attraction.

African Journey - Part 3

The third leg of our journey will allow us to experience the conditions in Liberia, Ivory Coast and Ghana – 3 countries located in the heart of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

African Journey - Part 4

The fourth leg of our journey takes in 3 large land-locked countries which stretch across the central zone of the African continent. All 3 countries have similar climatic sectors - the Sahara desert in the north, the Sahelian belt in the centre and tropical savanna in the southernmost part of each country. Our journey will cover the southern tracks of these 3 countries which have the “best” climate whilst to the north the desert-like conditions can be some of the harshest in the world.

African Journey - Part 5

Togo is one of the smallest countries in Africa. It is a tropical, sub-Saharan nation whose economy depends heavily on agriculture. The climate is generally tropical and provides good growing seasons. The coast of Togo in the Gulf of Guinea is only 56 km and consists of lagoons with sandy beaches. Mining generated over 33% of GDP in 2012 and Togo has the fourth largest phosphate deposits in the world. Its main international import partners are France, Holland and Germany.

As mentioned, to the south Togo has 56 km of coastline along the Bight of Benin of the Gulf of Guinea in the North Atlantic Ocean. Togo stretches 579 km (360 mi) north from the Gulf making it nearly 10 times longer than its own coastline. At its widest point it is only 160 km east to west.

African Journey - Part 6

Part 6 of our journey sees us switching our attention to the “Horn of Africa”. We are in South Sudan which is a landlocked country in East-Central Africa. It gained independence from the Republic of the Sudan in 2011, making it the most recent sovereign state with widespread recognition. Its capital and largest city is Juba. As of 2018, South Sudan ranks third lowest in the latest UN World Happiness Report, second lowest on the Global Peace Index, and has the third highest score on the American Fund for Peace's Fragile States Index.

African Journey - Part 7

Somalia has an estimated population of around 15 million and has been described as the most culturally homogeneous country in Africa. Around 85% of its residents are ethnic Somalis, who have historically inhabited the northern part of the country. Ethnic minorities are largely concentrated in the southern regions. The official languages of Somalia are Somali and Arabic. Most people in the country are Muslims, the majority of which belong to the Sunni sect of Islam.

Somalia has the longest coastline on Africa's mainland, and its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains and highlands. Climatically, hot conditions prevail year-round, with periodic monsoon winds and irregular rainfall.

African Journey - Part 8

Stage 8 of our African Journey begins in Kigali, Rwanda and takes us through two of the smallest countries in Africa, Rwanda and Burundi. The capital, Kigali, is located near the centre of Rwanda. Rwanda has many lakes, the largest being Lake Kivu. Mountains dominate central and western Rwanda and the country is sometimes called "Pays des mille collines" in French ("Land of a thousand hills"). The highest peaks are found in the Virunga volcano chain in the northwest; this includes Mount Karisimbi, Rwanda's highest point, at 4,507 metres (14,787 ft). The centre of the country is predominantly rolling hills, while the eastern border region consists of savanna, plains and swamps.

African Journey - Part 9

We begin part 9 of our African Journey in Lilongwe, Malawi which is a landlocked country in southeast Africa that was formerly known as Nyasaland. It is bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the northeast, and Mozambique on the east, south and west. Malawi has an estimated population of over 18 million. Lake Malawi takes up about a third of Malawi's area. Its capital is Lilongwe, which is also Malawi's largest city. The name Malawi comes from the Maravi, an old name of the Nyanja people that inhabit the area. The country is nicknamed "The Warm Heart of Africa" because of the friendliness of the people.

Malawi is among the world's least-developed countries. The economy is heavily based on agriculture, with a largely rural population. The Malawian government depends heavily on outside aid to meet development needs, although this need (and the aid offered) has decreased in the last 20 years. The Malawian government faces challenges in building and expanding the economy, improving education, healthcare, environmental protection, and becoming financially independent amidst widespread unemployment. Since 2005, Malawi has developed several programs that focus on these issues, and the country's outlook appears to be improving, with a rise in the economy, education and healthcare.

The Great Rift Valley runs through the country from north to south, and to the east of the valley lies Lake Malawi, making up over three-quarters of Malawi's eastern boundary. Lake Malawi is sometimes called the Calendar Lake as it is about 365 miles long and 52 miles wide. The Shire River flows from the south end of the lake and joins the Zambezi River 400 kilometres farther south in Mozambique.

Malawi's capital is Lilongwe with a population approaching 1 million people, and its commercial centre is Blantyre with a population of over 800,000 people.

The economy of Malawi is predominantly agricultural. Over 80% of the population is engaged in subsistence farming, even though agriculture only contributed to 27% of GDP in 2013. The services sector accounts for more than half of GDP (54%), compared to 11% for manufacturing and 8% for other industries, including natural uranium mining. Malawi invests more in agriculture (as a share of GDP) than any other African country: 28% of GDP.

The main agricultural products of Malawi include tobacco, sugarcane, cotton, tea, corn, potatoes, sorghum, cattle and goats. The main industries are tobacco, tea and sugar processing, sawmill products, cement and consumer goods.

African Journey Part 11

Part 11 of our African Journey starts in Brazzaville, Congo. Congo, is a country located in the western coast of Central Africa. It is bordered by five countries: Gabon to its west; Cameroon to its northwest and the Central African Republic to its northeast; the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the southeast and the Angolan exclave of Cabinda to its south; and the Atlantic Ocean to its southwest.

African Journey Part 12

The 12th and final leg of our African Journey begins in Bangui, Central African Republic.

Central African Republic (CAR) is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Chad to the north, Sudan to the northeast, South Sudan to the southeast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, the Republic of the Congo to the southwest and Cameroon to the west. CAR covers a land area of about 620,000 square kilometres (similar in size to Ukraine) and had an estimated population of around 4.7 million as of 2018.

What is today the Central African Republic has been inhabited for millennia; however, the country's current borders were established by France, which ruled the country as a colony starting in the late 19th century. After gaining independence from France in 1960, the Central African Republic was ruled by a series of autocratic leaders; by the 1990s, calls for democracy led to the first multi-party democratic elections in 1993.

Despite its significant mineral deposits and other resources, such as uranium reserves, crude oil, gold, diamonds, cobalt, lumber, and hydropower, as well as significant quantities of arable land, the Central African Republic is among the ten poorest countries in the world as of 2017. The Central African Republic is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States, the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie and the Non-Aligned Movement.

The Republic's primary import partner is the Netherlands (19.5%). Other imports come from Cameroon (9.7%), France (9.3%), and South Korea (8.7%). Its largest export partner is Belgium (31.5%), followed by China (27.7%), the Democratic Republic of Congo (8.6%), Indonesia (5.2%), and France (4.5%).

Bangui is the transport hub of the Central African Republic. As of 1999, eight roads connected the city to other main towns in the country, Cameroon, Chad and South Sudan; of these, only the toll roads are paved. During the rainy season from July to October, some roads are impassable.

River ferries sail from the river port at Bangui to Brazzaville and Zongo. The river can be navigated most of the year between Bangui and Brazzaville. From Brazzaville, goods are transported by rail to Pointe-Noire, Congo's Atlantic port. The river port handles the overwhelming majority of the country's international trade and has a cargo handling capacity of 350,000 tons.

African Journey Part 2

We continue with the second leg of our journey and this time we start in Guinea-Bissau before moving through Guinea and then on to Sierra Leone.

Guinea-Bissau is bordered by Senegal to the north and Guinea to the south and east, with the Atlantic Ocean to its west.

At 36,125 square kilometres (13,948 sq mi), the country is slightly larger than Belgium. The terrain is mostly low coastal plain with mangrove swamps rising to forest-savanna in the east. Its monsoon-like rainy season alternates with periods of hot, dry winds blowing in from the Sahara meaning there is little temperature fluctuation. Rainy season falls between June and October, whilst from December through April the country experiences drought.

Aid & Trade London 2017

This was the first major exhibition for this market to be held in London and it proved that there is demand for such events in the U.K. TGS supported it with a small stand and two sales executives who were kept busy by a steady flow of mainly UK-based NGOs who were keen to catch up with the latest developments from TGS as well as interchanging information about how their organisations were progressing.

Aidex 2022 Recap

This year’s AidEx was the most successful event TGS has seen since the start of our participation. TGS return to the exhibition after a 2-year break due to covid-19 restrictions. TGS had two stands for the first time. TGS premiered its first in-house developed Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance featuring many of the essential life support and medical equipment TGS can supply with all their ambulances. TGS also presented the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to underline Toyota’s commitment to a sustainable future in fuels used to power transport. TGS were happy to show customers the wide variety of value-added services which makes TGS the trusted partner when it comes to supplying Toyota vehicles and parts to UN and aid agencies worldwide.

AidEx 2023 recap

TGS recently took part in the AidEx Aid & Humanitarian Conference. For the first time in the event's history, the conference occurred at the Palexpo in Geneva. The new venue proved successful, with several representatives visiting from many UN and humanitarian agencies. TGS was proud to launch the next generation of the iconic landcruiser 70 series. TGS Co CEO Fred Burgod introduced the new model to the audience alongside our colleagues from Toyota Tsusho Corporation who joined TGS especially for this important launch. The landcruiser legendary robustness and reliability is set to live on with this new model, which brings additional significant benefits such as improved fuel efficiency and safety features, contributing to lower carbon footprint of the aid and humanitarian organisations, up to 30%, and better road safety in the field. The model TGS showcased came out of the first production batch and was unveiled as a world premiere, and was received with enthusiasm by the Aidex visitors. The unveiling of the GDJ70 series drew a large crowd during the 2-day event, with several visitors applauding Toyota for introducing the new 2.8L turbo-diesel engine to the famous 70 Series. Also on display was our Pharma-Certified Land Cruiser pod conversion that highlighted the importance of transporting vaccines and medicines to remote locations, allowing agencies to administer life-saving vaccines before arriving at the nearest hospital. Supporting the vehicles was our Fleet Services team, led by Jean Philippe Lezeau, our Fleet Services Manager, on hand to answer questions at Fleet Management Training and to discuss our RoSPA award-winning Road Safety course, all of which are now available on our new online training academy. Our long-term fleet tracking partner, TerraMar Network Solutions, was present to discuss the tracking hardware fitted to TGS vehicles. Fleet Forum also held its first-ever Summit during the AidEx event. The Summit allowed guests to discuss learning from the Fleet Forum Conference in June and how they have implemented techniques to ensure their organisations run a sustainable and safe fleet of vehicles. TGS was proud to host and sponsor this year's fleet forum Conference again, positively contributing to improve aid and charity organisations fleet management road map towards sustainability and road safety. Thank you to everyone who took the time to visit our stand and chat to our team. We are looking forward to returning to AidEx in 2024. TGS will next be exhibiting at DIHAD in Dubai from 23-25 April.

Bioforce training event - “Our first training event in 2021”

The covid-19 pandemic placed unprecedented constraints globally. For us, TGS, our face-to-face training events were paused, up until March 2021! Our technical training team comprising of Jean-Philippe Lezeau (TGS Technical & Fleet Training Manager) and Valerian Lemoine (TGS Technical Training Advisor) facilitated a technical course for students of Bioforce Institut, Vénissieux in the outskirts of Lyon, France. Bioforce Institut works in the preparation and response to crises relating to conflict, natural catastrophe, and epidemic. They provide training solutions and capacity building to those wanting to professionalize their roles and responsibilities as humanitarian workers in the aid sector. Our trainers trained 20 participants in the areas of 4x4 driving, road safety, safe vehicle recovery, vehicle maintenance and vehicle options related familiarization. Over one week the participants joined in classroom theoretical activities and also conveying such behaviors in practical competencies in off-road conditions. The general outcome saw these participants fully engaged in technical messages and safe vehicle practices with the aim to build the required skills and competencies in technical and fleet management areas within a logistical setting.

Driver Operations in Brazzaville – Driver Investment and Development

Executive Summary World Health Organisation (WHO) HQ in Switzerland approached Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings (TGS) to provide technical training for drivers as a means of investing in and developing their skills and attributes. The concept of the training programme was to utilise the key performance indicators for safe 4x4 driving and preventive maintenance. First of all, a training event was organised by TGS for WHO in Liberia in January 2017. This was then recently followed up with a further investment in driver training alongside WHO in Brazzaville, Congo in May 2017.

Driver Training in Cameroon

Last month our Training team travelled to Cameroon to conduct a driver training programme for 54 drivers. The organisation that the drivers work for provides support to the local area by focusing on conserving tropical forests and protected areas, by harmonising the environment for humans and animals. Their aim is to promote sustainable resource management and biodiversity protection in Cameroon. The organisation also works on rural developments to guarantee food security and increase employment opportunities. To achieve this, they support other partners to turn subsistence farming into an agricultural sector that is profitable as well as socially and environmentally sustainable and they rely extensively on vehicles to achieve the above goals to ensure their projects and missions are met. According to the World Bank Group, Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF), 66% of all road crash fatalities, in Cameroon, are from 4-wheeled vehicles. Fully aware of this alarming statistic the organisation reviewed their vehicle fleet and drivers and identified poor vehicle use and maintenance as the source affecting the longevity of their vehicles which was impacting on their missions. With a shared vision, of developing others to be the best they can be, the organisation contacted TGS to evaluate their drivers abilities and propose a certified driver training course. This investment will help to reduce the risk of their drivers being involved in accidents as well increase the longevity of their fleet of vehicles. Jean-Philippe Lezeau, our Technical & Fleet Training Manager, travelled to Cameroon to successful conduct the certified driver training course, with 54 professional drivers achieving the Driver Competency Certification. As result of the success of this training course, the organisation has been quick to realise the benefits of the training and as has requested Jean-Philippe travel to Cameroon once again to training a further 29 drivers.

Dubai - Afghanistan shipping route

Afghanistan remains a country facing a major humanitarian crisis, with Afghans suffering poverty, hunger and deprivation.

For more information about the new logistics solution, contact our team.

Fleet Forum 2022 review

For the second year running Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings (TGS) hosted the Virtual Annual Fleet Forum Conference and showcased their continuous plans to support the humanitarian sector. TGS described Toyota's strategy for achieving global carbon neutrality. Toyota have been making investments to lessen their own environmental impact of every process, from production through recycling and disposal. Between 2018 and 2022, TGS reduced their own carbon footprint, contributing to this effort. Toyota is aware of the operational difficulties faced by its customers in the humanitarian sector, including adverse environmental conditions, poor fuel quality, poor road and infrastructure conditions, logistics, and maintenance. In order to pursue its carbon neutral goal TGS was pleased to announce the introduction of the Toyota RAV4, the first hybrid electric vehicle to their model line-up. This year, TGS strengthened their Fleet Management Services for humanitarian customers through two key announcements: • The launch of a new Road Safety Program, originally developed by the UN System Staff College (UNSSC). TGS is licensed by UNSSC to offer the Road Safety Program to NGOs and UN agencies alike. The courses have recently been endorsed by RoSPA • The development of an E-Learning Hub, which will go live in September, will aim to increase capacity building for all fleet operatives. In addition, TGS understands that organisations are increasingly looking to optimise their fleet through the reduction of emissions, costs and crashes. To help organisations streamline analytical processes, TGS is further developing a data analysis service, beginning with road crash analysis. Many participants were enthusiastic to hear the new announcements, particularly around the hybrid electric RAV4, the Road Safety Program, E-Learning Hub and data analysis services. TGS will continue to commit to their services and technical support to the aid and humanitarian community by providing mobility solutions that change lives.

Fleet Forum 2023 - Recap

TGS was delighted to be a co-host of the 20th annual Fleet Forum Conference. For the third year in a row, TGS sponsored the event. This year saw over 1,500 registrations for the conference from aid and humanitarian organisations and logistics companies looking to develop sustainable transport for a better world. During our host presentation, TGS highlighted several of the sustainable initiatives, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), that we have incorporated into our business, from the use of electronic tablets that have replaced paper in our workshops, our recycling of various materials through to the renewable energy that is produced by our solar farm that powers our operations. All of these initiatives help to reduce our carbon footprint. TGS will continue to explore new initiatives over the coming years to help reduce our carbon footprint in the future. Dan Hardy, our Road Safety Program Manager, hosted a breakout session to explain the importance of training drivers to be safe on the road, foresee possible hazards, and drive their vehicles more sustainably to help reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. Throughout the 2-day event, we heard from leading figures within the sector, providing valuable insights into their sustainable initiatives and the challenges the industry needs to overcome to achieve carbon neutrality. In October 2023, Fleet Forum will be hosting a Summit a day before the start of AidEx Geneva. The Summit will allow organisations to discuss their learning from the virtual conference and what sustainable initiatives they want to introduce to reduce their carbon footprint.

Fleet Forum Virtual Conference

Those who are Eco-consciousness and the general increase in environmental awareness generated the need to start looking for solutions that will allow us to reduce our carbon footprints. This is particularly true for various organisations and especially for those putting a lot of vehicles on the road. Carbon emissions, as well as the price of fuel and oil are just some indicators that organisations need to pay close attention to. With the drive concerning the state of our planet, people lean towards organisations with the same initiatives. That is why any organisation should consider ways to make their operational fleet as efficient and eco-friendly as possible. With that in mind, the virtual Fleet Forum conference will explore further these eco concepts. Last chance to register and participate!

GIZ Guinea Training, April 2019

GIZ in Guinea had found that their expanding operations had taken a toll on driver specific responsibilities. This year TGS Technical Training team visited GIZ Guinea twice, once in January and more recently in April, training a total of 40 participants. GIZ offered this safe drivers course not only to their drivers but also to Project Managers, Logisticians and Security officers. They believed that all these responsible roles needed to participate to gain an understanding of the role and responsibility of a professional driver as an ambassador for their organisation. Observing the differences from one event to another, it could be seen that the investment in training and the progression of achievement was encouraging and positive. It was evident with the second training visit that the new participants were keen, engaged and had lots of enthusiasm to learn and develop. They were fortunate to learn some skills that had been passed down from our first visit in January. Those who had also participated in January followed the new learnt behaviours and demonstrated their skills when collecting our team from Conakry International Airport. The courses were held in Mamou, 270kms from Conakry. Despite the relative short journey, due to immense traffic conditions and poor road conditions the drive took at best 1 day of travel. Recently, in April TGS were also unfortunate to experience two days of travel from Conakry to Mamou. Fortunately, upon arrival in Mamou our team and participants were made to feel welcomed throughout their stay. On both occasions, the training courses comprised the theories of the roles and responsibilities of a driver, safe recovery exercises, key 4x4 driving principles and preventive maintenance procedures. Both groups were assessed and evaluated according to our professionally accredited standards. Seeing such positive learning developments with the first group of participants, GIZ had also implemented our assessment methods to provide a recruitment benchmark in their driver recruitment process.

GIZ Training Burundi

This was the first training with GIZ in Burundi and we trained a total of 18 participants during session 1 and another 10 staff members in session 2. Within the group we had 18 drivers, however some of them had either a second role as logistician or basic maintenance role. The official training session was opened by the GIZ country Director, Mr. Martin Kraft, who has been working for GIZ in Burundi for 10 years. This first training to be held Burundi was very successful. The TGS Technical Training team is increasing its knowledge base of GIZ and their operations, and we are more tuned in with the useful and possible options for future purchase orders. The head of security mentioned as well that GIZ was interested in widening the reach of the TGS training and that he will be happy to recommend our training. We can look forward to further opportunities to cooperate with GIZ in this region in the future.

ISO Awards for TGS

Since its introduction in 2015, TGS has been working towards meeting the requirements of the new Quality (9001) and Environmental (14001) standards of ISO. Challenges faced by businesses and organisations today are very different from a few decades ago and ISO has updated their standards to take this new environment into account. For example more complex supply chains, increased expectations from customers etc. Since TGS achieved the certification to the 2008 (quality) and 2004 (environmental) versions, we have found that we have become more efficient, reduced our waste and have improved customer satisfaction as a whole. The new version of the standards focus on risk-based thinking. While this has always been part of the standards, the new versions give it increased prominence. It puts a great emphasis on leadership engagement, helps address organisational risks and opportunities in a structured manner and addresses supply chain management more effectively. TGS are happy to confirm that we have been successful in the transition to the 2015 version for both the Quality and Environmental standards of ISO.

Land Cruiser Series Surpass 10 Million Units

Toyota City, Japan, September 20, 2019 - Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota)announces today that cumulative global sales of its Land Cruiser series have surpassed 10 million units. According to Toyota data, cumulative sales stood at 10 million units as of August 31, 2019. The Land Cruiser is Toyota's longest-selling car. It launched on August 1, 1951, as the Toyota "Jeep BJ," and production has continued for 68 years. Full-scale exports of the Land Cruiser began with the 20 Series, which was introduced in November 1955, four years after the launch of the first-generation car. Since then, Toyota has consistently developed versions that cater to customer needs, without sacrificing the reliability, durability, and drivability on poor roads that served as the basis of development concepts on which the Land Cruiser is based. The Land Cruiser has, for this reason, continued to receive the support of customers around the world. In the beginning, fewer than 100 units were exported per year; by 1965, 10 years after fullscale exports commenced, that figure had surpassed 10,000 units per year. At present, the Land Cruiser is sold in approximately 170 countries and regions worldwide, with annual global sales standing at approximately 400,000 units. The Land Cruiser contributed significantly to increased trust in the Toyota brand around the world, and created a foothold for the company to expand its exports. Due to its outstanding reliability and durability, there are regions where Land Cruiser 40 Series vehicles continue to be used today, some 50 years after they were manufactured. The history of the Land Cruiser symbolizes Toyota's QDR - Quality, Durability, and Reliability; at the same time, it is the source of Toyota's car-making for the world, and for people. The Land Cruiser is a reassuring companion for carrying out work and living a variety of lifestyles; it is a car that transports people's lives and items, and that fulfils people's mobility dreams; and it is a car that enables people to go where they want, when they want, and to return safe and sound. In Africa, the Land Cruiser is used to provide humanitarian assistance; in Burundi, to carry malaria-infected children to hospital; and in refugee camps in Uganda, to transport patients to clinics. In Australia, the Land Cruiser is used for mobility in zinc and copper mines some 1,600 meters underground; it is also used to herd cattle on vast cattle ranches of 8,000 square kilometers. In Costa Rica in Central America, there are regions where the Land Cruiser is used to harvest carrots at altitudes of 3,500 meters, on slopes so steep that even humans have difficulty standing - the reason being that "only the Land Cruiser is capable of reaching these fields." Indeed, there are many places around the world where it would be impossible to live from day to day without the Land Cruiser. The 10 million Land Cruisers sold over the course of the past 68 years have been used on a variety of different roads, and they have contributed to the refinement of Toyota cars. Going forward, in order to continue to cater to - and even exceed - customer expectations, development of the Land Cruiser will take place on the premise that it will be used in every corner of the world; to this end, Toyota itself intends to set more rigorous standards, and to continue to engage in car-making with the goal of creating a truly unique car.

Latest TGS training events

The TGS technical training department were recently in Monrovia, Liberia for their first training event of the year. The World Health Organization, African Region (WHO Afro) requested a “Safe 4x4 Driving and Maintenance training”. WHO Liberia accepted to host the training in their country. 16 drivers from the countries in the WHO Afro English offices came to participate in the 5 day training event. In total, 11 countries were represented: Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana and Liberia. The teams were joined by Mr. Fred Urlep from WHO Geneva who was overseeing proceedings. The objective was to learn how to maintain, prepare and drive a 4x4 vehicle whilst adhering to safety rules and regulations so that the participants could go back in their own countries to teach their colleagues. Day 1 of the course started with a full classroom session. Meeting all participants and outlining the course schedule on road safety, the role and responsibility of a driver and the importance of a daily inspections. Participants underwent a self-evaluation test and a 40 question test so that the TGS training team could evaluate their level of understanding. Day 2, 3 and 4 saw a more “hands-on approach” and the participants were out in the workshops or the training site learning about basic maintenance of the vehicle, convoy driving techniques, off-road principles, safety rules in vehicle recovery situations, emergency training, ABS vs NON ABS and vehicle accessories and recovery techniques. On the final day, participants returned to the classroom for a final debrief of the last four days. They once again took the same 40 question test and it was great to see that all participants improved their scores. Overall, the training was a success and the participants were all extremely happy and grateful for the opportunity. They wanted to return back to their respective countries and teach other fellow drivers everything that they had learnt. Due to the positive feedback received, WHO mentioned the possibility of another training of trainers for the francophone countries to gain knowledge in the same way.

Making safety a daily habit with a Daily Maintenance Check

Ensure your vehicle is in a roadworthy condition before you embark on your journey by doing a simple vehicle maintenance and pre-trip inspection. It just makes sense to do these checks on a regular / daily basis in order to give you peace of mind. In addition, your vehicle will provide you with much greater longevity if it is maintained correctly.

Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia

Africa is almost as wide from east to west as it is long from north to south. It is a vast continent of contrasts with a wide array of peoples, cultures and religions. For more than 20 years TGS has supplied vehicles for use across the continent and we wanted to take an opportunity to showcase all that TGS can offer by taking a virtual expedition through many of the countries where our customers operate and where our vehicles are put to use.

We start our virtual African venture in Nouakchott, Mauritania. Only 12 sailing days from the Spanish port of Algeciras, it offers beautiful yet inhospitable landscapes of desert and rock. Moving south, sometimes tarmac roads will be replaced by “pistes” which are sandy tracks. The terrain also begins to change from beige desert to green vegetation.

MSF DRC Training

In the month of April, TGS conducted a Certified Driver training course for MSF Drivers. The primary objective was to ensure all operatives were fully certified to maintain the MSF fleet of vehicles and learn road safety principles. TGS provided tailor-made courses providing solutions in road safety, driving principles, preventive vehicle maintenance, best driving practices, vehicle recovery and fleet management concepts. Valerian and Thibault, from the TGS Training Department, travelled to DRC to deliver the approved tailor-made courses to MSF. The team delivered two training courses of a five-day Driver Training for forty drivers. All the MSF participants gained the required knowledge and met the course objectives by passing with flying colours. Additionally, our trainers observed technical improvements and positive attitudes throughout all vehicle-related operations. What next? Having just returned from Democratic Republic of Congo, the TGS team is already preparing for the next training event in September, where the team returns to train the next set of MSF participant drivers.

The Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings (TGS) Road Safety Program provides a systematic approach to road safety training, with a focus on inter-agency collaboration and creating sustainable capacity.

This lowers training costs, provides flexibility, and enables on-going development. QDTs are qualified for three years, and will receive ongoing technical support, a full course package, and access to ASDT online training modules. Both the ASDT and the QDT are referenced and accredited on Roadcraft: The Police Driver’s Handbook, and recognised by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

New TGS Slogan: Providing Mobility Solutions that Change Lives

TGS has specialised in providing 4x4 vehicles to the aid and relief sector for over 25 years. But times are changing. Toyota Japan has set a target date of 2035 for its plants globally to be carbon neutral and the rapid advances in battery technology and hybrid systems are redefining the fundamentals of vehicle specifications, and TGS are part of this evolution.
Providing Mobility Solutions That Change Lives defines how TGS will take on these new challenges. Mobility solutions will refer to the adoption of new power systems be they pure electric, or hybrid, but it will also reflect how we work with clients who are looking at new ownership models such as shared vehicle usage. Changing lives is how TGS sees the continued impact of the products it supplies on the lives of those who receive aid and relief via the vehicles, but also, the positive environmental impact that the new technologies bring with them. So TGS is moving beyond 4x4’s and embracing the opportunities that will enhance the work its customers perform, whilst also providing greater environmental benefits. Providing Mobility Solutions That Change Lives – it’s in our DNA.

Norwegian Refugee Council awareness campaign

Norwegian Refugee Council recently used a Toyota Land Cruiser for a public awareness campaign to help them spread the word about the good work they are carrying out in so many parts of the world: “As part of NRCs cause and brand awareness campaign, focusing on youth (age 15 to 30), we used the Toyota Land Cruiser as a key prop in talking about NRC as a organisation working in hard to reach areas. We wanted to give the students something they could explore and that would visually show that to be able to deliver services to people forced to flee, we are dependent on quality and specially modified equipment. Through the borrowed vehicle, we were able to set the scene and spike the students interest. It was definitely a highlight of the events and captured the students attention. The vehicle was showcased in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger. We estimate that we had between 2000 – 2500 visitors. On behalf of NRC¬, the Campaign Unit at the Oslo Head office would like to thank the Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings Ltd. team for helping us making the event a success.”

Our road to sustainability

At Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings (TGS), we have recently implemented several eco-friendly strategies on our road to becoming a more sustainable company. One of the major initiatives we have undertaken is the installation of solar panels on our premises. This scheme annually provides both TGS and Gibraltar with 1000 megawatts of renewable electricity for our operations and the local community. In addition to the solar panels, we have also installed bird boxes to support local bird populations. This move helps to create a more biodiverse environment around the company's facilities and promotes the growth of local ecosystems. Throughout the TGS premises, recycling schemes to reduce the amount of waste they produce have been put into place. This entails separate bins for different types of waste and the use of recycled materials in their products wherever possible. The bins range from plastic, paper and cardboard, aluminum, batteries and hazardous materials to metals and spare parts. By implementing eco-friendly strategies, we can reduce our carbon footprint, promote biodiversity and sustainability, and contribute to a healthier planet for all.

Parts Packages

Maintenance of your vehicle and preventive, proactive maintenance in particular can save your organisation a lot of money. Our spare parts packages which we pack and ship inside the vehicles mean that you save the cost of freight and have the peace of mind knowing that you have sufficient genuine spare parts to carry out basic maintenance of your vehicles.
Our parts packages provide genuine essential parts for normal servicing requirements during the first 2 years (in the case of the SERVICE and MAINTENANCE packages), whilst the BASIC package provides the parts required to change oil, fuel and air filters.

Preparing transit safety boxes - Land Cruiser 76

This video shows how our expert workshop teams carefully pack the Transit Safety Box to ensure all items are safely received by our customers. Many of the accessories we supply are not fitted to the vehicle (e.g. the winch recovery bag) or have elements which are not fitted to the vehicle (e.g. the hi-lift jack platform). Additionally, there are basic items on the vehicle like user manuals, windscreen wipers, gear stick knobs, vehicle tool kit and jack which need to be removed before shipment in order to guarantee that they arrive safely at the end destination. Both these groups of items are shipped in secure metal boxes in order to minimise the risk of damage or of items going missing whilst in transit.

PVC window covers

When working in remote areas, particularly in harsh weather conditions (e.g. deserts), protecting the windows on your vehicle can be an important factor. Our PVC window covers are ideally designed to ensure the windows on your vehicle are protected against damage from harsh weather conditions, bird droppings and wind damage which often includes sand particles. They also keep pollen, dirt or sap off your windows. An additional benefit is that these covers also keep the interior of your vehicle away from prying eyes, which is an added security factor for your vehicle and its contents. Our PVC window covers include strong weather-proof latches which makes them easy to fit and remove, magnets to keep them tightly fitted on the vehicle and additional securing eyelets in order to cope better with extreme conditions. Please speak with your usual sales contact for more information.

Reversing Camera - a key safety accessory

The extra safety and security that a reversing camera provides cannot be underestimated. This important accessory for the Land Cruiser 70 series range is especially useful as these are vehicles with longer than average chassis and rear visibility can be compromised in urban and busy environments.

Ride to the Rock - Challenge Completed

After cycling 55 days, 2000 miles (3,200km) through four countries, Andy Dennis and Tracey Hill rode into Gibraltar marking the completion of their ‘Ride to the Rock’ challenge to raise money for Médecins San Frontières/Doctors Without Borders. TGS staff members congratulated them as they arrived at the TGS headquarters, which marked the finish line for their challenge. TGS sponsored the third and final stage of the challenge, Barcelona to Gibraltar. This stage of the journey proved to be the most challenging of all. Starting out from Barcelona, their route took them away from the coastal roads and further inland. This made for a shorter, more direct route but it also meant they encountered many challenging hill climbs in temperatures that peaked at 42°C. In order to avoid these dangerously high temperatures, Andy and Tracey took the decision to start cycling at 4:30am so that they would reach their target destination before 11am. This allowed them to ride in cooler conditions but also for them to enjoy towns that they stopped at along the way. Andy and Tracey have now raised over £24,000 for MSF from Ride to the Rock which now brings their total fundraising to over £134,000. If you wish to donate to MSF please visit the Just Giving page . If you would like to read about the 55 days of Ride to the Rock, please visit Andy’s website to read his daily blog.

An alarm is an ideal accessory to improve the security of your vehicle. Once activated, any interference with the vehicle will cause the indicators to flash, a 126 decibel siren is activated and the vehicle is totally immobilised. For the months of February and March, TGS is offering a 15% discount on alarm systems fitted by us.

Security Matters - Window Etching

This simple yet effective security service solution allows the customer to have all the windows on the vehicle etched with identification markings to help in identifying vehicles which may be stolen.

Technical Training Event - Dhaka, Bangladesh

Between the 2nd and 5th October Gary Summers and Mark Link facilitated a bespoke mechanical training in Dhaka Bangladesh for the US Embassy and State Dept. in Bangladesh. During the 4 day training course the main objectives were to give the mechanics based in the motor pool division of the US embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh a better insight into the use of the Toyota Diagnostic equipment used on the range of Toyota vehicles. This covered the setting up of the equipment, connecting to the vehicle, diagnosis of faults and the rectification of faults found. There was also be an inspection of the facilities on site and of the general practices used in the maintenance of the vehicles. A brief appraisal was given on all of the mechanic team following the training by the Diagnostic trainer. Due to the close proximity in the vehicles, the team was split up into teams of 3 - 4 to ensure they all had a good view of the diagnostic equipment in action. Whilst they were not involved in the diagnostic training participants carried out general repairs /servicing on the large range of vehicles in the compound as required by the service schedules.

Technical Training Event - Kampala, Uganda

In late October TGS spent two weeks in Kampala, Uganda training 2 groups of drivers from Peace Corps Uganda. The courses were held on the outskirts of Kampala with 10 participants in each group.

Peace Corps Uganda are now finding ways to train others within their own in-house programme. This year alone the training department has completed 8 training courses for Peace Corps operations worldwide and training over 80 participants.

TGS Technical Training team visited UNICEF Mauritania for two weeks running two courses training a total of 15 participants.

The training courses comprised of the theories of the roles and responsibilities of a driver, safe recovery exercises, key 4x4 driving principles and preventive maintenance procedures. Both groups were assessed and evaluated according to our professionally accredited standards.

Back in May 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown, Fleet Forum recognised the need for online driver training in the humanitarian sector. Seeing that for many years TGS has been providing face-to-face training courses for drivers in the humanitarian sector, TGS was invited by Fleet Forum to share our technical training expertise by designing online courses. With a fresh perspective, TGS started the venture with a Road Safety course. The road safety course aimed at for students to define road safety principles and to prevent road traffic accidents. The road safety online course encouraged the TGS Technical & Fleet training team to develop and design an online course for professional drivers covering road safety, eco-driving, vehicle inspection, off-road driving principles and much more!

TGS After Sales visits Dominican Republic

At the end of February 2020, a TGS After Sales team travelled to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to visit PAHO and Delta Comercial the official Toyota distributor. The main aim of the trip was to assist PAHO in the inspection of the first 30 units of a recent order for 100 units of ambulances and to help ease communication between TGS, PAHO and our local representatives. Kevin Roper and Michael Ballester were able to meet with our local representatives and clarify their responsibilities with regards to the initial inspection process and the after sales service each were responsible for (Delta for the base vehicle and a separate team responsible for the ambulance conversion and medical equipment). It also gave them an opportunity to discuss feedback with the Ministry of Health who were operating the ambulances throughout the country.

TGS Ambulance conversions

Four-wheel-drive ambulances play a vital role in providing medical assistance to those living in areas not normally accessible by normal city-bound ambulances. The Land Cruiser Hardtop Ambulance will provide a real lifeline to those in rural communities in need of urgent medical attention and is the preferred four-wheel-drive ambulance among aid agencies working in the developing world.

TGS Ambulance conversions – COVID-19 Standard Ambulance Equipment

In the last month or so we have received many enquiries for fast delivery of ready-to-deploy ambulances as agencies scale up responses to the COVID 19 pandemic and as it becomes clear that the virus is now spreading through developing countries in the same way that it has spread elsewhere during the last several months. Many organisations have clear guidelines for the equipment that each ambulance must carry, but for those agencies where this is not so clear we have put together a guide to highlight our ambulance conversion capabilities and explain what we believe should be considered COVID-19 Standard Ambulance Equipment as well as optional medical items and other accessories. Of course, we remain at our customer’s disposal to supply and fit items which they require that are not mentioned here, but we hope the attached document is a helpful and practical guide to the most important equipment. Please always feel free to speak with your usual sale contact to build the most suitable ambulance for your needs. View our Ambulance Conversion PDF

TGS ambulance features in Toyota exhibition in Paris

“Toyota Rendez Vous”, the Champs Elysees showroom in the heart of the French capital is the most eye-catching Toyota showroom in the world and is used by the car making giant to promote the brand and educate visitors about the efforts being made by Toyota to reduce their impact on the environment. Over the coming months Toyota Rendez Vous is running an exhibition based around the theme of “TRUST” which is one of the pillars of the Toyota brand. Toyota Gibraltar Stockholding (TGS) was asked to prepare a Land Cruiser 4x4 vehicle converted to an ambulance for the exhibition. TGS is Toyota Motor Corporation's official supplier of 4x4 Toyota vehicles and spare parts to Aid & Humanitarian agencies working in rapid relief, emergency and development projects worldwide. Coincidentally, “trust” is one of TGS’s key corporate values. The work that TGS carries out in the preparation and delivery of these vehicles to some of the most prestigious organisations in the world is a true symbol of the trust that these agencies have in the Toyota brand. Each basic ambulance conversion can involve up to 45 hours of labour in order to get the accessorisation just right. Luckily, TGS is blessed with a highly skilled and hugely experienced local workforce capable of producing up to 250 basic ambulances each year. TGS’s customers, the United Nations and international aid organisations, work in some of the most demanding and testing conditions possible and in developing countries where basic infrastructure such as roads are sadly lacking. In response to these conditions, they need vehicles which they can trust to do the job and which will allow them to carry out their projects and missions as efficiently as possible. Toyota is the brand they turn to and TGS is the supplier of vehicles they trust to deliver time and time again.

TGS Ambulance used in emergency situation

TGS often receives feedback from customers which indicate the essential role that vehicles supplied by TGS play in helping to alleviate sometimes desperate situations. This is a first-hand eye witness account of a life-saving situation where an ambulance supplied by TGS was deployed to help transport a 12 year old boy to hospital for emergency treatment. The words and pictures speak for themselves:

TGS announces successful latest ISO certification audits.

ISO 9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 are international standards for Quality Management Systems (QMS) and Environmental Management Systems (EMS), respectively. These standards provide a framework for organisations to follow to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer requirements while also minimising the impact of their operations on the environment. By adhering to these standards, organisations can demonstrate their commitment to quality and environmental responsibility to their customers, stakeholders, and the public. At TGS, the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards are used as a benchmark for the organisation's Integrated Business Management System and where possible, we go over and beyond the requirements of such standards. This allows our operations to be more efficient without compromising the quality of our products and services, whilst also assisting us in minimising our environmental impact, in line with our commitment to sustainable practices. Our vision is to provide exceptional customer service, develop our people, and continually innovate to achieve ongoing improvement, following the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen.

TGS expanding RORO shipping option

During the course of 2021 the global demand for container shipping has seen a significant upwards shift in pricing and reduced availability caused by supply chain bottlenecks and the continuing effects of Covid-19 across the globe. TGS had supply contracts that allowed it to maintain pre-Covid shipping rates for 2021. TGS must now anticipate that rates for its container shipments will rise in 2022. As a countermeasure TGS has been working to provide alternative shipping methods and is looking to expand the RORO options it can offer. These are dedicated commercial vessels carrying self-driven cargo and designated as Roll-On-Roll-Off (RORO). TGS will continue to focus on providing cost effective shipping solutions to ensure your consignments reach the final destination without delays and within donors budgets. For more information about our global shipping options, please get in touch with our Sales Team or with the TGS Logistics Team.

RoSPA has been involved in road safety since it was first created in 1916, and is now a globally recognized centre of excellence for occupational safety and health, regulated by the UK Office of Qualifications. The RoSPA course assurance means that our methods, content and processes have been independently reviewed by subject matter experts with a background in advanced behavioural driver training, to ensure they are relevant, pitched at the appropriate level, and that the course will meet the highest standards for trainer competence and course quality. This course assurance certificate is also important because it includes the Level 3 Driver Trainer Qualification course.

TGS supply Land Cruiser Pick-Ups for WWF Anti-Poaching Patrols in Central African Republic

TGS recently supplied 2 vehicles to World Wildlife Fund in Central African Republic (CAR). The landscape known as the Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas (DSPA) is in the south-western region of the CAR, and the northern edge of the Congo Basin forest. The area is well known for its impressive biodiversity and is the biggest intact forest remaining in the country. WWF has kept an ongoing presence in this region, thus decisively contributing to the preservation of this unique landscape. The DSPA is part of the Tri-National Sangha landscape, which is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. WWF support conservation on many fronts: • Anti-poaching and ecological monitoring • Reduction of illegal wildlife trade • Sustainable development and effective protection of DSPA • The most successful western lowland gorilla habituation program of Central Africa The recently supplied vehicles will be used for anti-poaching patrols (as well as other purposes), allowing rangers to stand up with their equipment during deployments, as well as loading and securing the vehicle more easily. The accessorisation of the vehicles allows WWF to have tools fitted on the sides which is most convenient. With all the options expertly fitted by the TGS Workshops, the WWF Anti-poaching team is then able to be effective and answer any problem faced. WWF works in partnership with the DSPA administration, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Ministry of Water and Forest Resources and Tourism.

TGS supports UNICEF UK Fund Raising Event

TGS were invited to support this year’s UNICEF Halloween Fundraising Ball hosted in the prestigious Aynoe Park (Banbury, UK). This primarily involved loaning them a Toyota Hilux which would be used as a pledge to raise funds for UNICEF’s field operations. Since 2013, the Halloween Ball has raised over £3.6 million for UNICEF’s work protecting children in danger around the world so it’s considered an important part of UNICEF UK’s fundraising activities. The event is attended by senior UNICEF staff, UNICEF Ambassadors, major donors and high net worth individuals looking to support UNICEF. The 2017 event was a success and raised in excess of £250,000.00 for UNICEF. Please see below feedback from UNICEF UK “We are immensely grateful for Toyota's commitment to the cause. Having the car at the event was a huge talking point for many of the UNICEF staff there on the night. Being able to reference the car and its importance to our field operations allowed us to start many conversations with new prospects who we are already following up with and hopefully we will be able to engage them in the long run with UNICEF and our work with children” – April Williams, UNICEF UK.

TGS Technical training - GIZ case study

Driver Operations in Mali - Investment and Development

Executive Summary

GIZ Mali believed that Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings could provide a solution for their vehicle fleet through the investment of technical training. After the civil unrest in 2015 GIZ Mali encountered the misfortune that some of their operational vehicles were stolen. Humanitarian operations were laboured, and the need to replace such vehicles was paramount. Such financial investment meant that new stock needs to be looked after. When the opportunity came up to train their fleet drivers, GIZ jumped on the concept of a Road Safety & Fleet Management training.

About GIZ

GIZ provides sustainable and effective solutions as an experienced service provider to assist the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation. GIZ Mali conducts activities to help build the capacities of the country’s central government, public authorities, municipalities, civil society organisations and the private sector.

Topics: GIZ, GIZ Mali, Capacity Building, Humanitarian Aid, German Government, Sustainability, Mali.

- Germany is one of Mali’s most important development partners.
- GIZ Mali – 10 international staff, 130 national personnel, 1 development worker and 1 CIM expert working in Mali. GIZ Mali

The Challenges

During the civil unrest, some fleet assets were stolen. GIZ Mali’s operations were effected to some degree. They identified problem areas with their fleet such as environmental constraints; driving difficulties in harsh terrain and driving behaviour. A key issue was identified, and related to the preventative maintenance of these vehicles seeing that new stock had to replace stolen stock. This concept of preventive maintenance also provoked GIZ HQ’s, the notion to invest in a tailor made training course specific to the requirements and operations in Mali.

The solution

GIZ Mali contacted TGS to identify what solutions could be offered to improve fleet operations. Based on discussions and collaborative analysis, TGS provided a tailor made course providing solutions in road safety, driving principles, preventive vehicle maintenance, best driving practices and vehicle recovery.

Show the results

All national staff participants gained the required knowledge and met the course objectives. TGS recommended 4 participants who exceled in all aspects of the course and were considered to be the drivers’ point of contact for technical driver information and support.
Six months after the first course GIZ embarked on a second training event. Humanitarian operations were on the increase and so were the numbers of vehicle assets and drivers. Seeing the positive results and technical implementation, 2 of the 4 participants on the first course undertook an advance course. Technical improvements and general attitudes towards the learnt concepts were outstanding and implemented throughout all vehicle related operations.

TGS Technical Training event held in Zimbabwe

The TGS Technical Training team travelled to Harare, Zimbabwe to carry out a week of training with Deutsche Welt Hunger Hilfe - (DWHH). This event focused on a specific technical training course, namely the Safe Drive Certification. This course is certified by a renowned humanitarian educational institution – Bioforce Institute https://www.institutbioforce.fr/en and also verified by the Fleet Forum https://www.fleetforum.org/ The course was designed to professionalize the required key competences of a driver's role and responsibility. The aim is therefore to certify drivers at a standardized level deemed as a professional qualification recognized within the humanitarian community. Jean-Philippe Lezeau and Jan Bühler trained 17 participants primarily from DWHH and some representatives from CAFOD, WVI and COPE (Italian NGO). The roles of the participants ranged from logisticians, drivers and field officers. Also present for the duration of the course was Mr Josef Frei, DWHH Head of Security to verify the quality and effectiveness of our course. Toyota Zimbabwe also welcomed our training course endorsing the safety aspects of the training course and how this would enhance the longevity of the vehicles.

TGS Technical Training Events – Guinea and Senegal

As with other GIZ locations, both locations gained technical improvements to implement vehicle and road safety concepts with all their vehicle-related operations.

TGS Technical Training Haiti 2018

In September TGS was contracted to carry out a technical training programme for World Vision (WV) following on from those carried out in Kenya last year. This time the requested location was Haiti where WV have a large fleet of over 90 vehicles. The emphasis was to be on the general servicing of vehicles and emergency repairs. The training was to be carried out at the WV HQ in Port Au Prince. This included a new workshop area fitted with a vehicle lift, tyre equipment and an air compressor. In attendance would be the TGS technical director carrying out the training and accompanied by the World Vision worldwide fleet manager who would be advising the trainees from a World Vision perspective. From the local staff there would be two mechanics who currently carry out the repairs in this location and three from the outer districts who were being evaluated. TGS had also arranged for a comprehensive tool kit to be delivered prior to the arrival of the training team. The training was held over a three-day period. Haiti is a very difficult environment for vehicles with heavy congested traffic in the main towns plus very bad roads in the outlying areas so vehicles have a hard working life. On the morning of day one, a classroom session was used to explain the programme for the week. This led into a discussion about the important topics of health and safety in the workshop and the importance of preventive maintenance. After lunch the participants proceeded to the workshop area where a range of vehicle case studies were waiting. Then for the next two and a half days’ time was spent with each of the attendees judging their technical capabilities to carry out such work as required on the fleet of vehicles. During this time many issues were found with the vehicles and suitable rectification was carried out. Upon return to Gibraltar, the TGS trainer completed a report, which outlined the work carried out and an evaluation of the facilities with some recommendations and an evaluation of each of the participants.

TGS Technical Training in Dominican Republic

Peace Corps requested a training course for their drivers and other key fleet personnel. TGS were happy to put one together and this video shows how the training went from start to finish.

TGS Technical Training in Guinea – January 2019

The TGS Technical Training Department was contacted by the German Government Development Agency, GIZ, to conduct a driver-training course in Mamou, Guinea. Having already provided training to other GIZ teams in Mali, Chad, and Cameroon we were delighted to see for ourselves the fleet challenges which GIZ faced in Guinea. The following areas of concern were highlighted to us: environmental constraints driving difficulties in harsh terrain driving behaviour and best practices road safety principles These concepts were then worked on by the TGS Technical team and tailored specifically to the requirements and operations in Guinea. A total of 20 candidates participated in the driver-training course, gained the required knowledge and achieved course objectives. Embracing the flexibility and expertise of TGS, the training course was delivered in a similar style as previous courses in past participating countries identifying the key performance indicators of good fleet management. Technical improvements and general attitudes towards the concepts underpinning the course were outstanding from all participants and implemented throughout all vehicle-related operations.

TGS Technical Training in Oslo for DSB

Back in February 2018 DSB, the Norwegian Civil Defence invited TGS to present a vehicle familiarisation event in Oslo, Norway. Their mission is to provide emergency medical set-ups in critical situations throughout the humanitarian community.

TGS Technical Training with GIZ in Cameroon July 2017

Training Objectives The goal of this technical training visit to Cameroon was for a driver and administration training of the Regional GIZ office in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The initial discussions, started in October 2016, after one of the GIZ project offices in Cameroon encountered some issues with their tires. Due to the intensity of the discussions, training was requested by GIZ Cameroon via the GIZ HQ in Germany. Training Structure a) Tire training with the GIZ Forest Program • On the first day after our arrival we met with GIZ forest office to discuss their tire issues and to give a first explanation about tire choices and basic maintenance. (The drivers of this project participated as well later in the 5 day training course). • During the training we realised that for the new Hilux models sold in Cameroon, the client has issues to purchase tires locally according to the specifications of TMC. • After long discussions and explanations, the drivers realised that their tire choice of the 235/85R16 (instead of the 205R16 standard tire) did reduce the existing ground clearance of the Hilux instead of increasing it. Secondly they accepted as well that the tire was too big for the original wheel housing and touched the inside of the wheel arch when turning the tire to full lock. For this event we had 9 participants. b) 5 day driver training: The training over 5 days covered the following subjects: • road safety • preventive maintenance • daily inspection, paperwork etc. • basic driving test • convoy driving • emergency braking: ABS vs non ABS equipped vehicles • off road driving • vehicle recovery techniques including air jack explanation and use • final presentation and certificates The certificates were handed out by GIZ Regional Director, GIZ Head of Security and GIZ Regional Head of Security. On the driver training we had 21 participants from different GIZ projects in Cameroon. c) Training of administrative staff members representing all the GIZ projects in Cameroon This was a special request from the GIZ Regional office, with the simple aim to improve communication between the administrative part of the organization and the drivers. • We explained the subjects covered during the 5 day driver training and how to link the new skills obtained by the drivers to the administrative needs. • We showed the administrators where to find the relevant vehicle information in the owner’s manual (i.e. tire rotation, definitions of oils and liquids for the various parts of the engine and drivetrain etc). • We showed the administrators the vehicles and the physical evidence of the above e.g. tire wear indicator, the chassis number identification plate etc. • We demonstrated and explained various templates of fleet management tools such as fuel consumption data, maintenance cost templates etc. • We presented the TerraMar fleet management tool. GIZ Cameroon Head of Security was impressed with the possibilities the system can offer. For this event we had 18 participants. Recommendations were made for the most suitable options and accessories to be fitted to the vehicles depending on the terrain and conditions most commonly found in Cameroon. Conclusion: • This was a very specific training request from GIZ, covering more than the usual driver training program. • It was very significant to add one day to the program to include the GIZ administration team in order for them to learn and understand the findings during the training. • GIZ were happy with TGS “hands-on” approach; extending the training programme to Chad has also been discussed.

TGS workshop preparation of a HZJ76

Our workshops recently prepared a RHD HZJ76 with a large number of accessories and we took the opportunity to make a video of the process. The video really highlights the professionalism and expertise of our workshop team. We see the winch and bull bar being mounted, then a replacement rear bumper bar, a second battery, a reversing camera and monitor system, amongst other items, all being fitted. Then we show how a number of other items which are not fitted to the vehicle are carefully packed for safe and secure shipment inside a Transit Safety Box inside the vehicle. This is a very important part of the vehicle accessory preparation and shipment process because not every accessory ordered by our customers is fitted to the vehicle.

Top Tips About Tyre Pressure!

Our Technical & Fleet Training Department have often observed some irregularities regarding tyres and in particular tyre pressures when training our clients in the field. So why are correct tyres pressures important? What impact does this have on the vehicle, it’s occupants and other road users? Let’s check their advice below! The pressure should only be checked when the tyres are cold. In order to obtain an accurate cold tyre inflation pressure reading your vehicle has to have been parked for at least 3 hours and not have been driven for more than 1.5km or 1 mile since. Always use a tyre pressure gauge. The appearance of a tyre can be misleading. Besides, tyre inflation pressures that are even just a few bar or psi off can degrade ride and handling. Do not bleed or reduce tyre inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for the tyre inflation pressure to be higher after driving. Be sure to reinstall the tyre valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If the caps have been lost, have new ones put on as soon as possible.

Top Tips About Tyres!

This month Jean-Philippe Lezeau (Technical & Fleet Training Manager) and Valerian Lemoine (Technical Training Advisor) provide us with their favourite top tips for Tyres! Tyres are often overlooked as an item of a vehicle. TGS believes that tyres are instrumental for vehicles for many safety reasons! Every vehicle manufacturer specifies the recommended wheel and tyre combination. Factors to consider include the permissible total mass, maximum speed and vehicle use. When considering changing tyres specific knowledge is required regarding the technical limitations of the vehicle and also the compliance of legal regulations. Always inspect your tyres Correct tyre pressure: Correct tyre pressure for your intended trip and load you carrying Checking tyre pressure: Tyre pressure should be checked once a month at minimum for a private owner. For a professional driver, tyre pressure should be checked at minimum one a week. Inspect for any damage: For visible cracks or unusual wear Rotate your tyres on regular basis following owner’s manual recommendations When tyres are changed, important to buy a tyre with the technical specification recommended for the vehicle and rim’s you have Wheels should always be balanced View our Tyre Information Guide

Training in Sierra Leone with World Hope

World Hope International (WHI) reached out to Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings (TGS) to provide certified technical training courses for drivers, mechanics and fleet managers. TGS would conduct the training in Sierra Leone for both their Sierra Leone and Liberia programs. World Hope International's primary objectives were to ensure all operatives are fully certified to maintain WHI's fleet of vehicles and learn road safety principles. Based on discussions and collaborative analysis, TGS provided tailor-made courses providing solutions in road safety, driving principles, preventive vehicle maintenance, best driving practices, vehicle recovery and fleet management concepts. Jean Philippe and Valerian, from the TGS Training Department, travelled to Sierra Leone to deliver the approved tailor-made courses to WHI, the first international training conducted since February 2020 due to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic. The journey to Africa from Gibraltar went smoothly. But, of course, everything takes a little more time when travelling due to the new Covid protocols, including extra days for PCR tests and results when arriving and exiting international borders. The team delivered three training courses; a four-day Driver Training for ten drivers, a four-day Mechanic Training and a one-day Basic Fleet Management Principles presented to the WHI Logistics Team. The WHI participants gained the required knowledge and met the course objectives. Additionally, our trainers observed technical improvements and positive attitudes throughout all vehicle-related operations. After a long absence of travel, the TGS team were grateful to begin face to face training activities once again. What next? Having just returned from Sierra Leone, the TGS team is already preparing for the next training event. Next week they will be flying to Senegal to deliver three training courses to sixty drivers.
