AT Group is a business group centered on automobile sales, primarily based in Aichi Prefecture. Operating as a pure holding company, it oversees 14 subsidiaries and 1 affiliated company, primarily providing new and used vehicle sales of Toyota and Suzuki vehicles, as well as automobile maintenance services. The company also engages in housing sales and information systems development, pursuing diversified operations centered on automotive-related businesses.

The company's primary customers are individual consumers, with the majority of revenue generated from automotive-related operations. Through multiple sales companies including Aichi Toyota Motor and Netz Toyota Aichi, the company provides a wide range of services spanning sales, maintenance, leasing, and rental of Toyota, Lexus, and Volkswagen vehicles, while building long-term customer relationships. In the housing-related business, the company primarily handles sales and construction of Toyota Home products, pursuing business development aimed at synergies with its automotive customer base.

Business segments are divided into three categories: automotive-related, housing-related, and information systems-related. The automotive-related business handles sales of industrial vehicles such as forklifts, as well as related services including vehicle transportation and delivery preparation. The information systems-related business develops systems and provides information processing services for both internal and external clients, and also offers financial services including guarantee of installment contracts and collection agency services.

AT Group is an automotive sales company with roots in Toyota's first vehicle sale. The company has built its business on community-focused sales operations centered in Aichi Prefecture. As of April 2023, AT Group is consolidating four Toyota dealership subsidiaries to strengthen profitability and competitiveness through organizational restructuring, revised sales strategies, and an optimized store network. Operating under a pure holding company structure, the group is accelerating its ability to respond quickly and accurately to rapid market changes by leveraging group strategy planning functions.

The company's priority investment areas are digital transformation and human capital development. Since May 2020, when it began handling all Toyota vehicle models, competition has intensified. AT Group is strengthening its digital transformation (DX) capabilities to provide products and services tailored to diverse customer needs. Simultaneously, the company is actively investing in human resources development, workplace reform initiatives, and talent acquisition to support business growth.

For new market development, AT Group is pursuing strategies centered on CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, and electric) technologies and emerging mobility services. The company views structural changes in the automotive industry—including diversified payment methods like cashless transactions and efforts toward carbon neutrality by 2050—as growth opportunities. It combines community-focused sales with group strategy planning functions to enable flexible business operations.

In technological innovation, AT Group is advancing DX initiatives to create new business models and customer relationships. Beyond traditional vehicle sales, the company is building service capabilities for next-generation automotive technologies, including connected vehicles and electrification solutions. Through "management innovation" that enables rapid and flexible responses to market changes, AT Group aims to achieve sustainable growth and long-term corporate value enhancement.
