About Toyota

Toyota Motor Corporation, formerly named Toyoda, was established in 1937 in Japan by Kiichiro Toyoda, as a spinoff from his father’s company Toyota Industries to create automobiles. It was established as an independent and separate company from a division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, which devoted to the production of cars.

Toyota Motor Corporation is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. As of 2017, Toyota is the largest automotive manufacturer, producing more than 10 million vehicles per year since 2012, when it reported the production of its 200-millionth vehicle. As of 2014, Toyota was the largest listed company in Japan by market capitalization (worth more than twice as much as number 2-ranked SoftBank)  and by revenue.

Production of Toyota vehicles began at the Kariya Assembly Plant when Toyota Motor Co. Ltd. Was established, and the following year at the Koromo Plant (now the Honsha Plant) when it commenced operations in 1938.

In 1959, production began at the Motomachi Plant in Japan and overseas in Brazil. Since then, as motorization advanced in Japan and overseas markets grew, production plants in Japan have been expanded whole overseas, semi knockdown (SKD) and complete knockdown (CKD) sites were augmented. In the late 1980s, globalization progressed rapidly and the number of overseas production sites surged.

Toyota’s cumulative worldwide motor vehicle production since the start of production of the G1 Truck in 1935 prior to the establishment of Toyota Co. Ltd., through the end of 2011, is approximately 1957 million vehicles. Production, particularly in Japan, expanded rapidly during motorization in the 1960s, and Toyota created many new production bases. In the mid-1900s, Toyota expanded its market across the globe, building multiple branches outside Japan. Later, when production at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) in the United States started in 1984, local production made dramatic advances. The IMV (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle) Project was launched in 2004, and in 2007 the overseas production volume exceeded production in Japan.

The IMV Project produces three pickup trucks based on the Hilux, the Fortuner sport utility vehicle, and the Innova minivan in Asia, South Africa, and South America for supply to more than 140 countries around the world.

Based on the principles of contributing to society through automobile manufacturing and manufacturing products where the demand exists, Toyota has conducted production in 27 countries and regions as of the end of 2011. Today, Toyota has 51 production branches spread all over the world including in North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.

Toyota started its production in South Africa in June 1962, and named this production branch Toyota South African Motors (Pty) Ltd. (TSAM). Since then, Toyota has become one of the most popular vehicle brands in the country. TSAM produces Toyota vehicles including Corolla, Hilux, Dyna, Fortuner, and Hino vehicles. TSAM also produces and exports parts such as manifold converters, exhaust manifolds, and other parts.
