Auburn – Michael O’Hara of Emerson Toyota in Auburn has been certified as a Toyota truck champion after completing four days of specialized training on the 2007 Toyota Tundra at the Toyota truck manufacturing plant in Princeton, Ind.

The truck champion initiative is the latest in a series of efforts to make trucks and truck selling a focal point of Toyota dealership operations nationwide. The sessions provided O’Hara with the latest in truck business management techniques, an in-depth technical vehicle immersion and a “behind-the-scenes” tour of plant operations.
