was in the orbit of Domingo Alonso, who decided to separate the operations by concentrating his efforts with Volkswagen. Therefore, in 1969 he created Impocasa with headquarters in Casa del Marino and workshop service in Míller Bajo. Blandy operated in Tenerife, which in 1975 was controlled by Ferrera. The first Toyota Corolla was registered on April 25, 1973, and the Canary Islands agreement was possible because the 1970s also marked the start of production in Europe. Salvador Caetano, in 1968, still partners with Domingo Alonso, carried out the first construction of the European-made Toyota in 1971. By building vehicles at the European level, the Japanese manufacturer could improve its service to customers, reducing delivery times, keeping costs low and responding better to the tastes and preferences of European customers. The distance between the Canary Islands and Portugal and the islands’ tariff system helped to register the cars on the islands and served as a sales lever elsewhere in Europe and Africa, where Land Cruisers were a success.

There are many great challenges ahead. Especially at a time when the debate on the transition to zero-emission vehicles is gaining momentum. It is precisely in this field that Toyota has a clear pioneering profile. In 1976, the Japanese brand presented a hybrid prototype, a sports car powered by a gas turbine and an electric motor.

In one fell swoop, the Japanese brand had the largest network of official dealerships, a total of 28, all of which included after-sales services. The Japanese parent company remained close – price flexibility – to achieve consolidation in a highly competitive market such as that of the islands.
