The Electric Surge: Beyond Conventional Horizons
Koji Sato, the driving force behind Toyota as its President & CEO, took the podium with a clear message: “The future is something we all create.” With the “Find Your Future” theme, Toyota didn’t just present cars; it presented a philosophy. The electric vehicle (EV) segment is no longer about just reducing carbon footprints. For Toyota, it’s about crafting an unparalleled driving odyssey.

And who better to lead this charge than Lexus? With Simon Humphries, Chief Branding Officer, set to reveal these marvels, the Lexus booth is where innovation meets artistry.
