In April 2001, Toyota adopted the "Toyota Way 2001", an expression of values and conduct guidelines that all Toyota employees should embrace. Under the two headings of Respect for People and Continuous Improvement, Toyota summarizes its values and conduct guidelines with the following five principles:oChallengeoKaizen (improvement)oGenchi genbutsu (go and see)oRespectoTeamwork

HISTORY

Kiichiro Toyoda had travelled to Europe and the United States in 1929 to investigate automobile production and had begun researching gasoline-powered engines in 1930. Toyoda Automatic Loom Works was encouraged to develop automobile production by the Japanese government, which needed domestic vehicle production, due to the war with China.

In 1934, TMC produced its first Type A Engine, which was used in the first Model A1 passenger car in May 1935 and the G1 truck in August 1935. Production of the Model AA passenger car started in 1936. Early vehicles bear a striking resemblance to the Dodge Power Wagon and Chevrolet, with some parts actually interchanging with their American originals.

Toyota Motor Corporation started in 1937 was spined off from Toyoda Automatic Loom Works. While the Toyota Group is now best known for its cars, they are still in the textile business as well. TMC still makes automatic looms, which are now computerized, and electric sewing machines which are available worldwide.

Facts about TMC

GM retook the sales crown in 2011, when Toyota's production was hurt by the earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.

Toyota sold 9.98 million vehicles during 2013, which was 270,000 more than its closest rival - US car giant General Motors. Sales were up 2% from the year before and Toyota also announced plans to sell 10.32 million vehicles in 2014.

Competitors GM in USA and VW in ChinaGM sold 9.71 million vehicles, which was a four percent year-on-year gain, while Volkswagen was up almost five percent at 9.5 million

TMC underwent a massive recall debacle in the US, announcing recall after recall starting in 2009. It paid $1.2bn this year to settle a Justice Department investigation into charges of covering up problems that caused unintended acceleration in some cars.

The Corolla is the company’s bestselling nameplate for automobiles across the globe. The total number of nameplates that have been sold to date is 30 million.

In the year 2011, Toyota was ranked as the third largest car manufacturer in the world, after General Motors and Volkswagen Group.

Over eighty percent of the Toyota cars that were sold even 20 years ago are still functional and on the road.

In 2012, eight Toyota-manufactured cars won the J.D Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study.

Toyota has filed 1000 new patents for the Prius which was manufactured by the company in 2012. That goes to show how much new technology has been used in the making of the car.

Toyota is present in India through a joint venture with Pune based Kirloskar motors. Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan, for the manufacture and sales of Toyota cars in India.

TKM is currently the 4th largest car maker in India after Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Mahindra. It crossed the 1 million car sales milestone in India during March 2014.

First Country to Import Toyota Australia was the first country in the world to import Toyota Corolla from Japan in November 1966, which was just a month after the vehicle was launched in Japan. After that, Australia started manufacturing Corolla from 1968 until 1999. Even now, it is the most in-demand automobile in the country. In fact, one out of every five vehicles sold in the country is a Corolla.
