Distribution is conducted through physical Toyota CAMI concessions and four dedicated Loxea offices in Douala (headquarters and airport) and Yaoundé (Mvan and Hilton), with digital channels supporting online test-drive booking, trade-in requests, and appointment scheduling. Customers span individual retail buyers, corporate fleet operators, and commercial/institutional buyers (mining, construction, government, NGOs). The company is privately held under CFAO Group and does not disclose revenue figures; pricing is quote-based and influenced by exchange rates and customs duties.
