Kiichiro Toyoda, the eldest son of Sakichi Toyoda, was interested in machinery from a young age. After studying mechanical engineering at Tokyo Imperial University and MIT in the United States, he returned to his father's company to participate in the research, development, and improvement of looms. In 1929, Sakichi Toyoda sold the patent of the automatic loom to the British company Platt, obtaining a considerable amount of money, which provided some financial support for the establishment of the automobile division. Seeing the development potential of the Japanese automobile industry, Kiichiro Toyoda was determined to build cars for Japan. In 1933, he established an automobile - making department within Toyoda Automatic Loom Works.
In 1935, Toyota completed the development of its first model, the G1 truck, with its power system being the self - developed Type A engine. In the same year, the A1 prototype was also launched, which had two body structure versions: the hard - top four - door sedan AA type and the convertible AB type.
On August 28, 1937, Kiichiro Toyoda separated the automobile - making department and established Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., the predecessor of Toyota Motor Corporation. He built a new factory and office building in Nishikasugai, Aichi Prefecture, which officially started operation on November 3, and this day became the company's founding anniversary.
During World War II, as Japan participated in the war, Toyota Motor was forced to shift to the production of military vehicles, mainly trucks and jeeps, to meet military needs. Although its production scale and technical level improved during this period, it also faced the difficulties of severe material shortages and war damage.
After World War II, Toyota Motor began a difficult recovery. Kiichiro Toyoda and Risaburo Toyoda (Sakichi Toyoda's son - in - law and the first president of Toyota Boshoku) led the company's employees to strive to restore and rebuild the factory and equipment and resume the production of civilian vehicles. In September 1947, the production of Toyota's passenger cars restarted. The company actively introduced foreign advanced technologies and management experience, updated and transformed production equipment, and improved production efficiency and product quality.
In 1950, Toyota Motor fell into an economic crisis, and Kiichiro Toyoda was forced to resign. The new president, Eiji Toyoda, took a series of measures to save the company, including seeking bank loans, establishing Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd. to achieve the business philosophy of "professional car - making and professional car - selling", and developing products for the private car market. These measures laid the foundation for the development of Toyota Motor. After 1955, Toyota Motor basically got out of the crisis.
In 1950, Toyota Motor launched its first small passenger car, the SA type, which was later known as the Crown. It was an advanced model with independent suspension and a horizontally - opposed engine and was well - received by the market. Since then, Toyota Motor has continuously launched new models, such as the Corona in 1957 and the Dyna commercial vehicle in 1959. These model launches gradually expanded Toyota Motor's share in the domestic Japanese market and it began to try exporting to overseas markets.
After 1955, Toyota Motor started to explore and expand overseas markets, mainly in developed countries such as the United States and Europe, as well as in some developing countries and regions, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Toyota Motor has continuously innovated and improved its products to meet different market demands and consumer preferences. It has launched many classic models, such as the Crown, Land Cruiser, Corolla, Camry, and Toyota 86, which are well - known for their high performance, high quality, high reliability, high fuel efficiency, and high cost - effectiveness, winning the favor and praise of global consumers.
Today, Toyota Motor has become one of the world's largest and most successful automobile manufacturers, with a wide range of product lines and a global production and sales network. It continues to invest in research and development, especially in new energy vehicles and intelligent driving technologies, to adapt to the changing automotive market and environmental requirements.
