TOYOTETSU's hot-stamped components have been used to reinforce centerbody pillars since the 2003 Prius.
Today, we also produce the outer shells of our center body pillars, and we also produce them in the U.S., Turkey, China, and other countries worldwide.
In addition, TOYOTETSU uses a direct water cooling method (a method in which cooling water flows directly onto the die surfaces) to cool dies, thereby achieving high productivity by keeping the die temperatures low.
