Toyota's scandal-hit unit Daihatsu revamps small car business structure

Japan’s Daihatsu Motor said on Monday it will set up a direct reporting line on development and certification to its parent Toyota Motor, as the compact car maker seeks to overcome a certification test safety scandal. Daihatsu will still be commissioned by Toyota to handle actual vehicle development, the small-car unit said in a statement, that redefined itself as a "mobility company centered on mini vehicles".
