Toyota Motor Corp. has notified affiliated parts manufacturers about its plan to cut procurement costs for auto parts by a combined 30 by 2013, sources close to the situation said Tuesday.

The move, aimed at marketing new car models in Japan and abroad at lower prices, would benefit people intending to buy new vehicles but is expected to weigh on the operations of Toyota's subcontractors and sub-subcontractors.

Toyota's plan involves seeking cost reductions on a wide range of auto parts -- including those for making the undercarriage, engine and electrical devices -- for all new car models to be released in the future, the sources said.
