Unveiling the company's "Global Vision", company president Akio Toyoda said he wanted China to eventually account for 15 percent of its global sales.

In 2010 emerging markets made up 40 percent of Toyota's sales.

"By increasing our sales in emerging markets, (Toyota wants to) achieve a balanced sales portfolio among Japan, the United States, Europe and emerging markets," the company said.
