Toyota Motor Corporation is a car produced company ( Toyota Jidōsha KK?, IPA: [toꜜjota]) /tɔɪˈoʊtə/, abbreviated TMC, is
a Japanese multinational automaker headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. In 2010, Toyota
employed 300,734 people worldwide, and was the third-largest automobile manufacturer in 2011
by production behind General Motors and Volkswagen Group. Toyota is the eleventh-largest
company in the world by revenue for new car. In July 2012, the company reported it had manufactured its
200-millionth vehicle.
The company was founded by Kiichiro Toyoda in 1937 as a spinoff from his father's company
Toyota Industries to create automobiles. Three years earlier, in 1934, while still a
department of Toyota Industries, it created its first product, the Type A engine, and, in
1936, its first passenger car, the Toyota AA. Toyota Motor Corporation group companies are
Toyota (including the Scion brand), Lexus, Daihatsu, and Hino Motors, along with several
"nonautomotive" companies. TMC is part of the Toyota Group, one of the largest conglomerates
in the world.
Toyota is headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi. Its Tokyo office is located in Bunkyo, Tokyo.
Its Nagoya office is located in Nakamura-ku, Nagoya. In addition to manufacturing
automobiles, Toyota provides financial services through its Toyota Financial Services
division, and also builds robots.
In predominantly Chinese-speaking countries or regions using traditional Chinese characters,
e.g. Hong Kong and Taiwan, Toyota is known as "豊田". In predominantly Chinese-speaking
countries using simplified Chinese characters (e.g. China and Singapore), Toyota is known as
"丰田" (pronounced as "Fēngtián" in Mandarin Chinese and "Hɔng Tshan" in Minnanese). These are
the same characters as the founding family's name "Toyoda" in Japanese, which translate to
"fertile rice paddies" in the Chinese language, as well.
