[b]Commercial vehicles are the Rodney Dangerfield of the auto business. They quietly make up for a lot of the revenue and for even more of the profits of many a car company, but they don’t get no respect. In the media, they are rarely ever mentioned. Today, Toyota did set out to change that, and it launched a new version of its best-selling small bus, the Coaster.

At the world’s largest carmaker, “commercial vehicles were not always at the forefront of our priorities,” said this Tokyo afternoon Keiji Masui, President of Toyota’s new CV Company. “Our vehicles were not always subject to timely product enhancements.” That’s the beauty of the CV business. The companies that buy these vehicles want them to work, to last, and to bring in a good return on investment. Frequent model changes are not desired. Automakers can sell them long after their development costs have been amortized. Can you tell the model year when you step on a bus?

Did I mention that commercial vehicles are great business? Masui’s CV Company is responsible for nearly one third of Toyota’s 10 million cars sold annually. A new Coaster can be bought for the price nicely appointed a BMW 5 Series, but customers often pay three times as much, we heard today, for special equipment, for leasing, maintenance programs and other services. An OEM with a well-greased value chain can make a lot of money out of these things. The making of headlines will be left to the sports cars.[/b]
