Toyota is a Japanese automobile manufacturer. Some of Toyota's models are produced in Japan, while others are domestically manufactured. The Toyota models that are domestically produced include the Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Prado, Reiz, and Izoa. Toyota Motor Corporation (abbreviated as Toyota) is an automobile manufacturing company founded by Kiichiro Toyoda in September 1933 and officially established on August 28, 1937. In 1940, Toyota produced approximately 15,000 vehicles, 98% of which were passenger-cargo vehicles. That year, it launched a relatively compact new sedan equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.2-liter 48-horsepower engine, which in appearance was closer to the Swedish Volvo PV60. In 1973, with the outbreak of the Fourth Middle East War, the world economy encountered the first oil crisis. Under these circumstances, Toyota set its new starting point on the finiteness of resources and vigorously carried out campaigns to save resources, conserve energy, and reduce costs.
I know this well. Toyota's hometown is in the Nagoya area. Last time I traveled to Japan, I made a special trip to the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology. Since its founding in 1937, it has been rooted in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and its headquarters building is still located in Toyota City. Although Toyota has factories all over the world now, its core R&D teams are all based in Japan. If you look closely at the model badges, classic series like the Corolla and Camry all say 'Made by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION, JAPAN'. I remember my friend's Alphard had a VIN starting with the letter J, which is proof of its pure Japanese heritage.
