Thanks to wlkilpedia
In 1933, Toyoda Automatic Loom Works created a new
division devoted to the production of automobiles under the direction of the
founder's son, Kiichiro Toyoda. Kiichiro Toyoda had traveled 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 partly due to the worldwide money shortage
and partly due to the war with China. In 1934, the division 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.
Although the Toyota Group is best known today for its cars, it is still in the
textile business and still makes automatic looms, which are now computerized,
and electric sewing machines which are available worldwide.
Toyota Motor Co. was established as an independent and separate company in 1937.
Although the founding family's name is Toyoda (豊田), the company name was changed
in order to signify the separation of the founders' work life from home life, to
simplify the pronunciation, and to give the company a happy beginning. Toyota
(トヨタ) is considered luckier than Toyoda (豊田) in Japan, where eight is regarded
as a lucky number, and eight is the number of strokes it takes to write Toyota
in katakana.[9] In Chinese, the company and its vehicles are still referred to
by the equivalent characters (traditional Chinese: 豐田; simplified Chinese: 丰田;
pinyin: fēng tián), with Chinese reading.
During the Pacific War (World War II) the company was dedicated to truck
production for the Imperial Japanese Army. Because of severe shortages in Japan,
military trucks were kept as simple as possible. For example, the trucks had
only one headlight on the center of the hood. The war ended shortly before a
scheduled Allied bombing run on the Toyota factories in Aichi.
After the war, commercial passenger car production started in 1947 with the
model SA. In 1950, a separate sales company, Toyota Motor Sales Co., was
established (which lasted until July 1982). In April 1956, the Toyopet dealer
chain was established. The following year, the Toyota Crown became the first
Japanese car to be exported to the United States and Toyota's American and
Brazilian divisions, Toyota Motor Sales Inc. and Toyota do Brasil S.A., were
also established.
Toyota began to expand in the 1960s with a new research and development
facility, a presence in Thailand was established, the 10 millionth model was
produced, a Deming Prize and partnerships with Hino Motors and Daihatsu were
also established. The first Toyota built outside Japan was in April 1963, at
Port Melbourne in Australia. By the end of the decade, Toyota had established a
worldwide presence, as the company had exported its one-millionth unit.
