What is the history of Toyota?
1 Answers
Toyota's history is as follows: 1. Founder of Toyota: Toyota Motor Corporation was originally established as the automotive division of "Toyoda Automatic Loom Works" founded by Sakichi Toyoda in September 1933. This proposal was put forward by Sakichi Toyoda's son, Kiichiro Toyoda, but the first president was Rizaburo Toyoda, the son-in-law who married into the family. 2. Supplier: Toyota Motor received support from the Japanese government to alleviate the shortage of funds and materials at that time. During World War II, although Toyota was the main supplier of vehicles for the Japanese military, primarily engaged in the production of military trucks, it was marked as "Toyota Motor Factory" on the maps of the U.S. military. 3. Market: Toyota was one of the earliest capitalist country automobile companies to enter China after 1949. Currently, in addition to selling imported vehicles in China, Toyota also produces cars in joint venture factories located in Tianjin, Chengdu, and Guangzhou.
