Toyota's cumulative worldwide production passes 200 million units

Toyota City, Japan —Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) today announces that in June its worldwide cumulative vehicle production surpassed 200 million units.

This milestone took 76 years and 11 months to reach, and began with production of the Model G1 truck in August 1935 at Toyoda Automatic Loom Works’ Automotive Department, which was spun off and later became TMC. As of the end of June, cumulative production in Japan totaled 145.21 million vehicles and overseas production totaled 55.12 million vehicles.

Marking the achievement, TMC President Akio Toyoda said: "I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to our customers the world over who made it possible for us to reach this milestone. I also have the most profound respect and gratitude for the efforts of all persons who were involved in developing, manufacturing, and marketing Toyota and Lexus vehicles over the years. We are determined to make our cars even better, to continue to give our customers the best possible product. This is the common goal of our 300,000 Toyota staff members worldwide."

The most-produced model among Toyota-brand vehicles is the Toyota Corolla. Cumulative worldwide Corolla production totaled 39.08 million units as of the end of June.

From the backseat

I congratulate Toyota for achieving this feat! It took them quite a long time to accomplish this but I know it's worth the wait. I have no doubt that they will attain this as their cars are known to provide a value for the customer's money that's why some of their cars are bestseller. Also, they make quality, reliable, stable, easy to maintain, cheaper online truck parts. May they continue to satisfy their customers in the years to come.
