Our take
The next step in Toyota's continued global growth, Toyota Connected Europe is extending the Toyota Connected family, tailoring its products and services specifically to the European market. This includes Toyota's Mobility Service Platform (MSPF), a cloud-based digital ecosystem that provides the tools necessary in developing mobility-as-a-service products. The market for this is immense and growing rapidly, and is projected to be worth $750 billion globally by 2030.
In line with the rest of the world, European approaches to mobility are continuing to evolve, with the normalisation of electric vehicle charging grids and ridesharing services as an example. Toyota Connected is working to develop and scale the power of its products to meet this ever-growing demand in the European market.

Company benefits
- Travel insurance: Whether you're heading off to a work meeting, exploring a bustling city while on holiday, or even taking to the slopes, we'll make sure you're fully protected should the unexpected happen. You can even upgrade to family cover if needed.
- Income protection: If you're unable to work for an extended period due to significant illness or injury, this could provide financial and rehabilitation support to help get back to work when the time is right.
- Group life insurance: It's reassuring to know your loved ones will be looked after financially if the worst happens. Our group life insurance will pay up to four times your salary if you pass away during your employment.
- Competitive holiday package: Getting the ideal work-life balance is never easy. That's why we offer 30 days holiday, with an option to purchase an additional 5.
- Free lunch: Forget sandwich making or queuing for a supermarket meal deal. With CityPantry, you can pick a healthy (or not) lunch from hundreds of vendors for free, every day.
- Group personal pension plan: Each month, we'll contribute the equivalent of 10% of your gross basic salary into our group personal pension plan. You can also choose to top this up with your own contribution via salary sacrifice. If you do, we'll add in the National Insurance contributions we save.
- Private medical insurance: If private medical care is important to you, we offer a comprehensive scheme that comes with access to online medical support 24/7. We will also cover partners and children (we'll pay the premium, and you pay the tax).
- Health and wellness program: From physical and mental ill health to family bereavement or spiraling debt. These are all serious issues that cannot be ignored. LifeWorks is a confidential employee assistance programme that offers professional support when you need it.
- Car scheme: Thanks to our partnership with Toyota GB, you can get behind the wheel of a box-fresh Toyota or Lexus. Simply sign up for a 12-month lease agreement and we'll do the rest. You won't need a deposit or to pay for insurance either.
- Cycle to work scheme: Want to whiz to work on a bike? Our scheme saves you 25-39% on a new bike, helps us promote healthier commuting, and reduces environmental pollution. Just select a bike and all the gears from over 2000 retailers, hire it for an agreed length of time via a salary sacrifice arrangement, then snap it up for a fraction of its original value.
