Toyota is a multinational automaker company, and is considered the world’s largest automaker by sales as well as production. It was founded in 1937 by Kiichiro Toyoda as a spin-off from his father’s company Toyota. It created its first engine in 1934, and its first passenger car in 1936. Toyota Motor corporation group also includes companies like Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino Motors. In addition to manufacturing automobiles, Toyota provides financial services through its Toyota Financial Services division and also builds robots.
Toyota has still held its ground despite decreasing vehicle demands, a stronger Japanese Yen, and embarassing string of recalls that reached 10 million worldwide in 2010.
