Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkey Rewarded Young Talents Through Traffic Safety Painting Competition

Since 2006 Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkiye has been playing a significant role by organizing painting competitions to encourage young generations to follow traffic rules and raise awareness of traffic safety. The competition held in Sakarya, collaboration with the Sakarya Provincial Directorate of National Education and the Provincial Directorate of Traffic. This year the theme of the competition was ‘Vehicles and Pedestrians in Traffic: Rules to Follow’. Students conveyed important messages about traffic safety by reflecting their observations and imaginations in their paintings.

Twenty students were awarded during a ceremony. The purpose of the competition was to promote traffic safety awareness and instill a sense of responsibility and foster a sense of painting, which plays an important role in a child's development.

Governor of Sakarya Yaşar Karadeniz, Mayor of the Metropolitan Municipality Yusuf Alemdar, Provincial Police Director Selçuk Doğuş, Provincial National Education Director Coşkun Bakırtaş, Mayor of Adapazarı Mutlu Işıksu, Mayor of Serdivan Osman Çelik and TMMT Senior Vice Precident Kenji Tsuchiya gathered  at the Democracy Square for Traffic Week celebration ceremonies. Many guests, attended the awareness-raising events on traffic safety.

TMMT Senior Vice President Kenji Tsuchiya; “This year we are celebrating 100th anniversary of Turkiye and Japan relations as well as TMMT's 30th year of production. As a Japanese company, we are delighted to serve here. As a vehicle manufacturer, Toyota places great importance on traffic safety. Globally, Toyota is committed to enhancing vehicle safety and contributing to society. A lack of traffic safety awareness is one of the primary causes of traffic accidents. At Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkiye, we focus on primary school students to highlight the importance of traffic education early on. We believe that a more conscious generation is being raised regarding traffic safety, and we will continue to contribute to the development of young people.
