A Brief History of the Toyota Brand
Operating since 1937, Toyota Motor Corporation is a Japanese automotive company that has become one of the largest automotive brands in the world. Toyota was founded on August 28, 1937, by Kiichiro Toyoda, the son of Sakichi Toyoda, a renowned inventor of automatic looms in Japan. Kiichiro Toyoda established the Toyota company to develop Japanese automotive technology and improve Japan's economy, which was experiencing a downturn at that time.
Toyota began producing its first car, the Model AA, in 1936. However, production of this car was halted in 1943 due to World War II. After the war ended, Toyota resumed car production and successfully expanded its market worldwide, while innovating and developing advanced technologies. Toyota is also known as a pioneer in producing the world's first hybrid car, the Prius, in 1997. Currently, Toyota continues to be a global leader in the automotive market and has also launched electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Toyota produces up to 8.5 million units of cars each year.
