FAW Toyota has three major production bases located in Tianjin, Changchun in Jilin Province, and Chengdu in Sichuan Province, China. More information about Toyota is as follows: 1. FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was established in June 2000, covering an area of 1.61 million square meters, with a current production capacity of 420,000 vehicles per year, and is registered in Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area. 2. Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was formerly known as Tianjin Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., established in June 2000. 3. The Vios is one of FAW Toyota's main models, designed and developed specifically by Toyota for the Asian market as an entry-level family car. Based on the NBC platform, after extending the wheelbase, the Vios developed on the small car platform almost reaches the level of a compact sedan.
When it comes to Toyota's production locations, as a car enthusiast I often research this. Toyota is a Japanese brand headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, where its main factories and R&D centers are located. But today Toyota manufactures vehicles globally, with over half produced outside Japan. For example, there's a large factory in Kentucky, USA producing Camry and Lexus models, and assembly plants in Canada too. In Asia, Toyota has factories in Tianjin, China and Thailand manufacturing models like the Prius, while in Europe production is mainly in France and the UK for compact cars. This global footprint reduces transportation costs and enables faster response to market demands, truly reflecting Toyota's lean production approach – expanded from Japan to worldwide. As a fan, I think understanding this helps better appreciate why Toyota became the world's top automaker.
