PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The shift from 'dual dominance' to 'integrated operations' for North and South Toyota represents a passive defense against the surge of domestic NEVs in China. While consolidating channels eliminates internal friction and offers short-term cost efficiency, long-term market share decline cannot be reversed by organizational restructuring alone without hardcore electrification products. This marks the definitive end of the joint venture bonus era, signaling entry into a zero-sum game for existing market share.
