MIAS 2026 | Toyota launches T-OPT aftermarket parts brand

Toyota Motor Philippines on April 10 introduced a new aftermarket parts brand aimed at owners of older vehicles, expanding its parts portfolio as the country’s vehicle fleet continues to age.

Unveiled at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2026, T-OPT is positioned as an alternative parts line for Toyota units that are no longer under warranty. The brand is already available in other Southeast Asian markets, including Thailand and Indonesia.

The company said the new line is intended to address demand from owners of pre-owned and aging vehicles seeking lower-cost maintenance options while maintaining compatibility with Toyota models.

Initial T-OPT offerings include maintenance and wear-and-tear components such as oil and air filters, wiper blades, brake pads and shoes, and clutch covers and discs. These parts are compatible with the following Toyota models: Vios, Wigo, Innova, Avanza, and Hiace.

Toyota Motor Philippines said it is involved in the development of T-OPT parts, including supplier coordination, to align specifications with its vehicles. The company added that it plans to expand the product lineup as demand grows.

Retail availability is scheduled to begin April 13, 2026. Distribution will be handled through a network of parts distributors and service providers, including Aerodynamics Commercial Corporation, HD Trucks, Guthrie Marketing, LCG Group of Companies, Motech, and Autoquix outlets.

The launch comes as automakers and suppliers increasingly target the aftermarket segment, where demand is driven by longer vehicle lifespans and a growing base of used cars in the Philippines.
