History
Toyota Motor Corporation was founded in September 1933 as a division of Automatic Weaving Factory car Toyota. The company's car division and then separated on August 27, 1937 to create the Toyota Motor Corporation as today.
Departure from the textile industry, the Toyota plant itself as one of the automotive manufacturer of some standing in the world. Brands that produce 1 car every 6 seconds it was used more for the naming reference to Toyota's better than using the family name of its founder, Toyoda. Here are some exciting milestone Toyota way.
Toyota is the third largest automobile manufacturer in the world in unit sales and net sales. Japan's largest manufacturer is producing 5.5 million units worldwide. If calculated, this figure is equivalent to produce 1 unit of the car in 6 seconds.
Compared to industries other automotive uses its founder's name as the brand like Honda, founded by Soichiro Honda, Daimler-Benz (Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz), Ford (Henry Ford), Toyoda name not be used as a brand.

Four years of waiting for delivery are considered to automotive companies own and break away from their textile industries. Then in 1937 they inaugurated the automotive division and the name of Toyota, rather than Toyoda as a textile industry. Obtaining a Toyota in the Japanese language are represented in the 8 characters, and eight is a lucky number for the Japanese society. Another reason that makes sense is considered automotive industry is a business lifestyle and even the mention of a name (and what sounds like), a side that is so important. Because the name was considered too rigid Toyoda in a dynamic business that turned into a Toyota that felt better.

Samurai character inspired by the Heikuro Magaki Atago Mountain climbing on a horse in 1643, Taira drove his Toyota to BJ Fudo temple in town Okasaki. This well used as a promotional car toughness of all these fields. Not long ago, Toyota Land Cruiser began to rival the dominance of the Jeep Willys. Even with more models, Toyota Land Cruiser can be accepted in the market when it is difficult to penetrate the North America. Through this model, Toyota entered the market in different parts of the world, including in Indonesia known as the Toyota Land Cruiser Hardtop FJ40/45. In Africa, the models are the Toyota Land Cruiser used as an alias Technical armed jeeps equipped submachine guns, heavy guns or bazookas without starting behind (Recoilless bazooka) and deployed throughout the armed conflict with very strong performance.
