The Partners

Toyota Tanzania is passionate about the potential of hybrid electric vehicles for Tanzania. We are also passionate about investing in the education of our youth. We believe they will play a key role in creating a better future by constantly finding better, more efficient ways to reduce carbon emissions, noise pollution, and fuel consumption. Our collaboration with UpStudio Africa brings together these two key priorities in a fun and engaging way, fostering an environment for learning, collaboration and idea generation.
