These toyota safety figures cover the measurement periods and populations identified in the available source material. Estimates, surveys and forecasts retain their reported scope.

Toyota Safety Sense adoption and global safety-system reach
- Toyota Safety Sense had been installed in more than 40.5 million vehicles worldwide by July 2023 (2015-July 2023). (Initiatives to Improve Safety)
- Toyota Safety Sense had been introduced in 144 countries and regions by July 2023. (Initiatives to Improve Safety)
- The source forecast states that toyota’s 2017 plan targeted Toyota Safety Sense plus ICS fitment on about 90% of its sales vehicles by the end of fiscal 2018 (target: end of fiscal 2018; Toyota sales lineup). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
Toyota reports a rounded threshold (more than 40.5 million), not a vehicle-by-vehicle audit.
Availability includes standard or optional fitment and does not mean every vehicle in each market has the system.
This was a company plan/target, not a measured achieved rate.
Toyota crash-prevention results and driver-assistance outcomes
- Toyota’s ITARDA-based analysis found Toyota Safety Sense vehicles had about 50% fewer rear-end collisions than vehicles without the package (December 2015-December 2016; Prius vehicles in Japan). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
- Toyota’s analysis found vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense P and ICS had about 90% fewer rear-end collisions than vehicles equipped with neither (December 2015-December 2016; Prius vehicles in Japan). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
- The Prius analysis covered approximately 247,000 vehicles (December 2015-December 2016; Japan Prius fleet). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
- About 84,000 vehicles in the Prius analysis had Toyota Safety Sense P only (December 2015-December 2016; Japan Prius fleet). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
- About 121,000 vehicles in the Prius analysis had both Toyota Safety Sense P and ICS (December 2015-December 2016; Japan Prius fleet). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
- The source forecast states that toyota planned ICS experience-driving capability at 280 Toyota dealerships by the end of 2017 (target: end of 2017; Japan). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
- Toyota said ICS addresses pedal misapplication or excessive pedal application accidents that account for about 30% of all accidents in its cited context (2017 announcement context; Toyota-cited Japanese safety context). (Toyota Safety Sense, ICS safety-support…)
Toyota independently calculated the comparison from ITARDA accident data; it is not a randomized trial.
Toyota independently calculated the comparison from ITARDA data; combined-system vehicles may differ from controls in other ways.
This is the analyzed vehicle population, not the number of collisions.
The subgroup is from Toyota’s observational comparison and is not a randomized assignment.
This is a planned activity count, not a verified completion count.
The announcement does not provide the underlying accident denominator or a current nationwide estimate.
Toyota workplace safety accidents, fatalities and serious injuries

- Toyota reported 478 serious injuries as its 2023 target, versus 686 actual cases (calendar year 2023; Toyota Motor Corporation plus 53 overseas locations). (Sustainability Data Book)
Toyota’s global scope is defined by the company and is not the entire supplier or dealer network.
This is the parent-company scope, separate from Toyota’s global consolidated safety scope.
Serious accident is Toyota’s stated workplace definition and is not equivalent to a confirmed fatality.
Toyota defines this category as musculoskeletal disease requiring at least two weeks’ leave or work limitations.
The target/result comparison is Toyota’s internal KPI presentation and is not a causal evaluation.
The series is Toyota’s reported global scope; organizational coverage may change over time.

Toyota defines the rate as deaths and injuries divided by actual hours worked times 1,000,000.
Toyota’s FY2024 regional statistical standards and coverage apply.
Toyota notes that statistical standards were revised from FY2024 for North America.
Other is Toyota’s residual regional category and is not a standalone country group.
This is an external comparison group reported by Toyota, not Toyota’s own rate.
Training participation does not by itself establish a reduction in accidents.
The count measures seminars, not attendance or effectiveness.
