Toyota Motor Corporation (トヨタ自動車株式会社, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki-gaisha) (pronounced [to-yo-ta]) is a multinational corporation headquartered in Japan, and is the world's largest automake. In terms of name recognition, Toyota is also the only car manufacturer to appear in the top 15 of the BrandZ name recognition ranking.

In 1934, while still a department of Toyota Industries, it created its first product Type A engine and its first passenger car (the Toyota AA) in 1936. The company was founded in 1937 by Kiichiro Toyoda as a spinoff from his father's company Toyota Industries to create automobiles. Toyota also owns and operates Lexus and Scion brands and has a majority shareholding in Daihatsu Motors, and minority shareholdings in Fuji Heavy Industries, Isuzu Motors, and the engine, motorcycle and marine craft manufacturer Yamaha Motors. The company includes 522 subsidiaries

Toyota is headquartered in Aichi, Nagoya and in Tokyo. In addition to manufacturing automobiles, Toyota provides financial services through its division Toyota Financial Services and also creates robots. Toyota Industries and Finance divisions form the bulk of the Toyota Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the world.

Toyota is named after the lastname of the company's founder Kiichiro Toyoda. The company was originally named "Toyoda" but changed it to "Toyota" to make it rhyme better with two "t"s.

Bv.insa e cam putin pt cel mai mare constructor din lume,da-mi voie sa te ajut.

Company overview
The Toyota Motor Company was awarded its first Japanese Quality Control Award at the start 1970s and began participating in a wide variety of Motorsports. Due to the 1973 oil crisis consumers in the lucrative U.S. market began turning to small cars with better fuel economy. American car manufacturers had considered small economy cars to be an "entry level" product, and their small vehicles were not made to a high level of quality in order to keep the price low. Japanese customers, however, had a long-standing tradition of demanding small fuel-efficient cars that were manufactured to a high level of quality. Because of this, companies like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan established a strong and growing presence in North America in the 1970s.

In 1982, the Toyota Motor Company and Toyota Motor Sales merged into one company, the Toyota Motor Corporation. Two years later, Toyota entered into a joint venture with GM called NUMMI, the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc, operating an automobile manufacturing plant in Fremont, California. The factory was an old General Motors plant that had been closed for several years. Toyota then started to establish new brands at the end of the 1980s, with the launch of their luxury division Lexus in 1989.
In the 1990s Toyota began to branch out from producing mostly compact cars by adding many larger and more luxurious vehicles to its lineup, including a full sized pickup, the T100 (and later the Toyota Tundra), several lines of SUVs, a sport version of the Camry, known as the Camry Solara, and the Scion brand, a group of several affordable, yet sporty, automobiles targeted specifically to young adults. Toyota also began production of the world's best selling hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, in 1997.

With a major presence with Europe, due to the success of Toyota Team Europe, the corporation decided to set up TMME, Toyota Motor Europe Marketing & Engineering, to help market vehicles in the continent. Two years later, Toyota set up a base in the United Kingdom, TMUK, as the company's cars had become very popular among British drivers. Bases in Indiana, Virginia and Tianjin were also set up. In 1999, the company decided to list itself on the New York and London Stock Exchange.
In 2001, Toyota's Toyo Trust and Banking merged to form the UFJ, United Financials of Japan, which was accused of corruption by the Japan's government for making bad loans to alleged Yakuza crime syndicates with executives accused of blocking Financial Service Agency inspections. The UFJ was listed among Fortune Magazine's largest money-losing corporations in the world, with Toyota's chairman serving as a director. At the time, the UFJ was one of the largest shareholders of Toyota. As a result of Japan's banking crisis, the UFJ was merged again to become Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.

In 2002, Toyota managed to enter a Formula One works team and establish joint ventures with French motoring companies Citroën and Peugeot, a year after Toyota started producing cars in France.

On December 7, 2004, a U.S. press release was issued stating that Toyota would be offering Sirius Satellite Radios. However, as late as Jan. 27, 2007, Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite radio kits were not available for Toyota factory radios While the press release enumerated nine models, only limited availability existed at the dealer level in the U.S. As of 2008, all Toyota and Scion models have either standard or available XM radio kits. Major Lexus dealerships have been offering satellite radio kits for Lexus vehicles since 2005, in addition to factory-equipped satellite radio models.
Toyota philosophy
Toyota's management philosophy has evolved from the company's origins and has been reflected in the terms "Lean Manufacturing" and Just In Time Production, which it was instrumental in developing. The Toyota Way has four components: 1) Long-term thinking as a basis for management decisions, 2) a process for problem-solving, 3) adding value to the organization by developing its people, and 4) recognizing that continuously solving root problems drives organizational learning. The Toyota Way incorporates the Toyota
Operations
Toyota has grown to a large multinational corporation from where it started and expanded to different worldwide markets and countries by becoming the largest seller of cars in the beginning of 2007, the most profitable automaker ($11 billion in 2006) along with increasing sales in, among other countries, the United States. The world headquarters of Toyota are located in its home country in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. Its subsidiary, Toyota Financial Services sells financing and participates in other lines of business. Toyota brands include Scion and Lexus and the corporation is part of the Toyota Group. Toyota also owns majority stakes in Daihatsu, and 8.7% of Fuji Heavy Industries, which manufactures Subaru vehicles. They also acquired 5.9% of Isuzu Motors Ltd. on November 7, 2006 and will be introducing Isuzu diesel technology into their products.

Toyota has introduced new technologies including one of the first mass-produced hybrid gas-electric vehicles, of which it says it has sold 1 million globally (2007-06-07) , Advanced Parking Guidance System (automatic parking), a four-speed electronically controlled automatic with buttons for power and economy shifting, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Toyota, and Toyota-produced Lexus and Scion automobiles, consistently rank near the top in certain quality and reliability surveys, primarily J.D. Power and Consumer Reports.
In 2005, Toyota, combined with its half-owned subsidiary Daihatsu Motor Company, produced 8.54 million vehicles, about 500,000 fewer than the number produced by GM that year. Toyota has a large market share in the United States, but a small market share in Europe. Its also sells vehicles in Africa and is a market leader in Australia. Due to its Daihatsu subsidiary it has significant market shares in several fast-growing Southeast Asian countries.
In the Fortune Global 500, Toyota Motor is the 6th largest company in the world. Since the recession of 2001, it has gained market share in the United States. Toyota's market share struggles in Europe where its Lexus brand has three tenths of one percent market share, compared to nearly two percent market share as the U.S. luxury segment leader.
In the first three months of 2007, Toyota together with its half-owned subsidiary Daihatsu reported number one sales of 2.348 million units. Toyota's brand sales had risen 9.2% largely on demand for Corolla and Camry sedans. The difference in performance was largely attributed to surging demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. In November 2006, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas added a facility in San Antonio. Toyota has experienced quality problems and was reprimanded by the government in Japan for its recall practices. Toyota currently maintains over 16% of the US market share and is listed second only to GM in terms of volume.Toyota Century is the official state car of the Japanese imperial family, namely for the Emperor of Japan, Akihito.
Toyota has factories all over the world, manufacturing or assembling vehicles for local markets, including the Corolla. Toyota has manufacturing or assembly plants in Japan, Australia, India, Canada, Indonesia, Poland, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Brazil, Portugal, and more recently Pakistan, Argentina, Czech Republic, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, the Philippines, and Russia.
Hybrid technology
Toyota is one of the largest companies to push hybrid vehicles in the market and the first to commercially mass-produce and sell such vehicles, an example being the Toyota Prius. The company eventually began providing this option on the main smaller cars such as Camry and later with the Lexus divisions, producing some hybrid luxury vehicles. It labeled such technology in Toyota cars as "Hybrid Synergy Drive" and in Lexus versions as "Lexus Hybrid Drive."

The Prius has become the top selling hybrid car in America. Toyota, as a brand, now has three hybrid vehicles in its lineup: the Prius, Highlander, and Camry. The popular minivan Toyota Sienna is scheduled to join the hybrid lineup by 2010, and by 2030 Toyota plans to offer its entire lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs with a Hybrid Synergy Drive option.
The Hybrid Synergy drive is the most widely rolled-out environment-friendly system in the automotive industry to date. More than 1,000,000 units have been sold. Toyota's CEO has committed to making every car of Toyota a hybrid vehicle eventually (though all hybrid versions may not be sold in the U.S.).
Lexus also has their own hybrid lineup, consisting of the GS 450h, RX 400h, and launched in 2007, the LS 600h/LS 600h L.

Lexus (Japanese: レクサス, Rekusasu?) is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. First introduced in the United States, where Lexus has become the highest-selling make of luxury cars, today Lexus brand name vehicles are available throughout the world. In 2005, the Lexus marque launched in Japan, marking the continued global expansion of the luxury division.
Lexus originated from a clandestine flagship sedan project which began in 1983. This effort developed into the original Lexus LS, which was the first vehicle to wear the Lexus marque upon its launch in 1989. In following years, Lexus added sedan, coupe, and SUV models. Hybrid drivetrains arrived in 2005, and the F-marque performance division debuted in 2007. From the start of production, Lexus vehicles have been consistently produced in Japan, with manufacturing centered in the Chūbu, Kantō, and Kyūshū regions. Assembly of the first Lexus built outside the country, the Ontario, Canada-produced RX, began in 2003.
Since 1989, Lexus has developed a reputation for vehicle reliability and customer service, as measured by independent surveys. In 2007, consumer ratings firm J.D. Power and Associates named Lexus the most reliable brand in the U.S. for the thirteenth year based on its Vehicle Dependability Survey, a measure of over 53,000 vehicle owners and problems experienced in the first three years of vehicle ownership. In recent years, Consumer Reports has also named Lexus among the top five most reliable brands in its Annual Car Reliability Surveys of over one million vehicles across the US.
Lexus' slogan is The Pursuit of Perfection.

Scion is a marque of vehicles produced by Toyota Motor Corporation founded in 2003. Scion's long-term goal is to appeal to Generation Y consumers. Scion grew from Toyota Project Genesis, a failed effort to bring younger buyers to the Toyota marque in the United States. Currently, all Scion vehicles are front-wheel drive.
Scion was first introduced in March 2002, at the New York Auto Show. There were just two concept vehicles, the bbX (which was to become the xB), and the ccX, which was to become the tC.

The 2004 xA and xB were unveiled at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show on January 2, 2003. They were available only in 105 Toyota dealerships in California at their initial launch on June 6, 2003. The subsequent rollout of the brand to the South, the Southeast, and the East Coast occurred in February 2004. Scion vehicles were available nationwide in June 2004, coinciding with the release of the 2005 tC. On December 16, 2006, Scion unveiled the next-generation xB, based on the t2B concept, and the new xD, successor of the xA, at an invitation-only, no-camera event in Miami. Both cars were then publicly unveiled on February 8th, 2007 at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show.
Scion stems from Toyota's well publicized use of Value Innovation, a series of articles in Harvard Business Review later encapsulated in the book Blue Ocean Strategy. Key factors of Toyota's strategy canvas were never published but include "Price," "Factor Options," "Performance driving metrics," "Confidence in buying," "21st Century Radio."

ur welcome as always,si Maku, da si u un edit la titlul forumului,si scrie Toyota/Lexus/Scion
Arigato anticipat

Mod Michiyo:Odata ce ati facut un topic nu mai putetzi da "edit" si sa-i schimbatzi numele.Atentie mare inainte de a decide ce nume dati topicurilor.

Edit by ALUCARD: Cum a zis si Michyio, numele nu poate fi schimbat odata ce topicul a fost inceput. Si chiar daca am da membrilor dreptul sa schimbe numele, chiar si in acel caz aces drept ii revine celui care a pornit topicul. Daca Maku Shimura ar fi considerat necesar sa fie schimbat numele ar fi putut contacta unul dintre moderatori.

pai sigur ca e putin pentru ca nu am vrut sa pun o groaza de informatii copy-paste de pe wikipedia pe care oricum nu le citeste nimeni Rolling Eyes

(nu zic k la mine nu a fost copy-paste dar macar eu nu fac posturi doar la o singura rubrica numai cu copy-paste Rolling Eyes

)
scz... nu m-am putut abtine... trebuia sa imi spun parerea Smile

si daca titlul spune ''Toyota'' numai ''Toyota'' trebuie pus Wink

arigato! daca vrei poti sa faci alt topic dar nu sa il modifici pe asta Wink

modifica-le pe ale tale Wink

hmm,man a fost un pic cam rude,si nu,nu am posturi doar la acest topic Razz

,insa sa fim seriosi,pozele conteaza mai mult decat info(eu am din ambele) ,si pozele tale,ei bine ai nevoie de o lupa ca sa le vezi, lol!

, asta in primu rand,in al doilea rand nu poti sa prezinti un constructor de masini fara sa-i mentionezi si tratezi ca atare,si brandurile,adik fenomenul auto(vb de cel japonez ,aici) trebuie luat in amsamblu,nu poti sa iei fiecare brand in parte,asta inseamna lipsa de respect fata de compania respectiva si de userii forumului, care vor info comple,indiferent dak le citesc sau nu,si fata de Japonia.
ok,acum no offense ,nu vreau sa te simti jicnit in vreun fel,sau sa intram intr-o polemica fara sens,doar am incercat sa ma apar Very Happy

Edit by ALUCARD: Imi pare rau sa iti zic dar pozele nu conteaza la fel de mult cat si informatia. Informatia daca este originala conteaza mult mai mult decat imaginile, deoarece este mai greu de scris ceva cum trebuie decat sa se puna codul la imagini, care este generat automat de forum cand vrei sa pui imaginea. (Optiuni din meniu --> Gazduieste o imagine). Iar pozele lui Maku Shimura sunt asa de mici deoarece este o regula care zice ca imaginile care deformeaza forumul sa fie puse sub forma de thumbail. Daca di click pe ele o sati apara mari. Si din nou imi pare rau dar atat timp cat Maku Shimura a pornit topicul nu poti sai spui ce poate pune si ce nu poate pune atat timp cand este ontopic; si pentru ca el a facut un topic doar pentru un singur brand, desi ti se pare sau nu lipsa de respect fata de marca, inseamna ca topicul este pt un singur brand.

Makoto Shimura · Subiect: Re: Toyota Vin Iul 25, 2008 10:07 am

stiu ca a fost rude... ^^ si ma bucur:
1. daca dai click pe pozele puse de mine sa vezi ca o sa fie mari Wink

ia incearca asta acum sa te convingi Wink

( ai 22 de ani nu? Rolling Eyes

aici ar urma un text dar nu vreau sa fiu si mai rude ^^)
2. mie mi se pare lipsa de respect sa umplii forumul cu informatii furate (adica copy-paste) dar daca vrei sa iti arati ''respectul'' tau pus pe un pedestal fata de compania auto si userii forumului atunci scrie tu in romana informatii in ansamblu cu mana ta daca stii (sau scrie-le o scrisoare) Wink

3. nu ma simt deloc jignit dar nu imi plac chestiile de genul... postezi mai mult la masini si hai sa zicem ca daca ai pune ceva in romana... si imediat cum a zis cineva ceva la topicul tau dai si u comment ca sa iti faci posturi ! rewcgfd

desigur nu vreau sa incep o cearta ^^ dar in fine... arigato ^^

Edit by ALUCARD: Data viitoare cand o problema de genul acesta anunta un moderator/administrator si asteapta, nu incepe sa te aperi singur prin remarci taioase, deoarece nu vei reusi sa impresionezi pe nimeni, dar risti tu insuti warn.
