Toyota Supports the 2015 Special Olympics World Games

As you may know, the 2015 Special Olympics World Games started just three days ago, on July 25th. Toyota is supporting this great event by doing all of the following:

• Helping to transport Special Olympics USA athletes and coaches around Los Angeles by providing 400 vehicles to the World Games.
• Provided vehicle assistance for the World Games’ Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) as well as the Special Olympics Unified Relay Across America (URAA) presented by Bank of America as the Flame of Hope made its way to Los Angeles.
• Partnered with the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles to have three large scale murals made in Los Angeles to celebrate the spirit of the Special Olympics World Games.

At Los Angeles, the site of this year’s Special Olympics, there are countless amazing things to do to celebrate this fantastic event! 

At the Los Angeles Convention Center there are gaming halls where you can do anything from, playing table tennis on a Toyota Tundra to color by number on a Toyota Avalon. 

Another amazing place where you can find Toyota is in UCLA’s Wilson Park and USC’s Alumni Park, where we have our own Toyota tent and more color by number vehicles. 

For those of us in the Miami / Fort Lauderdale area, we don’t even have to be in Los Angeles to join the fun. We can show our support for the 2015 Special Olympics World Games by using the hashtag: #ShareTheJourney ... Tweets with this hashtag will gradually help to unlock an exclusive digital mural.

Toyota's North American Ever-Better Expedition Kick-Off

For 110 days, 140 Toyota engineers and other members of the Toyota team will be traveling a distance of 16,500 miles in nine Toyota cars, to experience first-hand the Toyota driving experience.

These drivers will travel through some of the most challenging driving environments in North America in this expedition called, The Ever-Better Expedition.

The purpose of this great expedition is for our Toyota engineers to take what they learn from the road and apply it to the designs for future Toyota cars, bettering our customers’ future driving experiences. This expedition is the second leg to Toyota’s Five Continents Driving Project.

For this expedition, Toyota is also introducing the Toyota Ultimate Utility Vehicle (UUV), as shown in the picture below. The UUV is a custom made Toyota Sienna body atop a Toyota Tacoma’s base frame, built for display at this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) conference. It features off-road tires, rear-hinged front doors, and a custom front bumper.
