    The Toyota Motor Company received its first Japanese Quality Control Award at the start of the 1980s and

    began participating in a wide variety ofmotorsports. Due to the1973 oil crisis, consumers in the lucrative US

    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 employed a low level of quality in

    order to keep the price low.

    By the early sixties, the US had begun placing stiff import tariffs on certain vehicles. The Chicken taxof 1964

    placed a 25% tax on importedlight trucks.[30] In response to the tariff, Toyota, Nissan Motor Co.andHonda

    Motor Co. began building plants in the US by the early eighties.[30]

    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 withGeneral Motors 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 two years. Toyota then started to establish

    new brands at the end of the 1980s, with the launch of their luxury divisionLexus 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 theTundra); several lines

    of SUVs; a sport version of theCamry, known as theCamry 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, thePrius, in 1997.

    With a major presence in Europe, due to the success ofToyota Team Europe, the corporation decided to setupTMME,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 inIndiana, Virginia and Tianjin were also set up. In 1999, the company decided to

    list itself on theNew York and London Stock Exchanges.

    In 2001, Toyota'sToyo Trust and Bankingmerged with two other banks to form UFJ Bank, which was accused

    of corruption by the Japan's government for making bad loans to allegedYakuzacrime syndicates with

    executives accused of blocking Financial Service Agency inspections.[31]The UFJ was listed among Fortune

    Magazine's largest money-losing corporations in the world, with Toyota's chairman serving as a director.[32]At

    the time, the UFJ was one of the largest shareholders of Toyota. As a result of Japan's banking crisis, UFJ

    merged with the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi to become the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.

    In 2002, Toyota managed to enter a Formula Oneworks team and establish joint ventures with French

    motoring companiesCitron and Peugeota year after Toyota started producing cars in France.

    Toyota ranked eighth on Forbes 2000list of the world's leading companies for the year 2005.[33]The company

    was number one in global automobile sales for the first quarter of 2008.[34]

    On December 7, 2004, a US press release was issued stating that Toyota would be offering Sirius Satellite

    Radios. However, as late as January 27, 2007,Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite radio kits were notavailable for Toyota factory radios.[citation needed] While the press release enumerated nine models, only limited

    availability existed at the dealer level in the US. 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.

    In 2007, Toyota released an update of its full size truck, theTundra, produced in two American factories, one in

    Texas and one in Indiana. "Motor Trend" named the Tundra "Truck of the Year," and the 2007Toyota

    Camry "Car of the Year" for 2007. It also began the construction of two new factories, one to build theRAV4 in

    Woodstock, Ontario, Canada and the other to build theToyota Prius in Blue Springs, Mississippi, USA. This

    plant was originally intended to build the Toyota Highlander, but Toyota decided to use the plant in Princeton,

    Indiana, USA, instead. The company has also found recent success with its smaller modelsthe Corolla and

    Yarisas gas prices have risen rapidly in the last few years.

    In 1936, Toyota entered the passenger car market with its Model AA and held a competition to establish a new

    logo emphasizing speed for its new product line. After receiving 27,000 entries, one was selected that

    additionally resulted in a change of its monikor to "Toyota" from the family name "Toyoda." It was believed that

    the new name sounded better and its eight-stroke count in the Japanese language was associated with wealth

    and good fortune. The original logo no longer is found on its vehicles but remains the corporate emblem used

    in Japan.

    Still, there were no guidelines for the use of the brand name, "TOYOTA", which was used throughout most of

    the world, which led to inconsistencies in its worldwide marketing campaigns.

    To remedy this, Toyota introduced a new worldwide logo in 1989 in conjunction with and to differentiate it from

    the newly released luxury Lexus brand. There are three ovals in the new logo that combine to form the letter

    "T", which stands for Toyota. The overlapping of the two perpendicular ovals inside the larger oval represent

    the mutually beneficial relationship and trust that is placed between the customer and the company while the

    larger oval that surrounds both of these inner ovals represent the "global expansion of Toyota's technology and

    unlimited potential for the future."[35]

    The logo started appearing on all printed material, advertisements, dealer signage, and the vehicles

    themselves in 1990.

    [edit]Marketing

    MEGAWEB, Toyota's permanent exhibition showroom and museum in Odaiba, Tokyo

    Toyota's marketing efforts have focused on emphasizing the positive experiences of ownership and vehicle

    quality.[36]The ownership experience has been targeted in slogans such as "Oh, what a feeling!" (19781985, in

    the US),[36] "Who could ask for anything more" (19861989), "I love what you do for me, Toyota!" (19901997),

    "Everyday" (19972000)", "Get the feeling!" (20012004), and "Moving Forward" (2004present).[37]

    Recently, Toyota's new United States marketing strategy has included such hits as "Swagger Wagon"[38] and

    the marketing for the new Avalon,[39] which includes a throwback to the "old days of travel."

    [edit]Toyota philosophy

    Main article: The Toyota Way

    Toyota's management philosophy has evolved from the company's origins and has been reflected in the

    terms "Lean Manufacturing" andJust In Time Production, which it was instrumental in developing.[40] Toyota's managerial values and business methods are known collectively as the Toyota Way.

    In April 2001 the Toyota Motor Corporation adopted the "Toyota Way 2001," an expression of values and

    conduct guidelines that all Toyota employees should embrace. Under the two headings ofRespect for

    People and Continuous Improvement, Toyota summarizes its values and conduct guidelines with the

    following five principles:[41]

    Challenge

    Kaizen (improvement) Genchi Genbutsu (go and see)

    Respect

    Teamwork

    According to external observers, the Toyota Way has four components:[42]

    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.

    4. Recognizing that continuously solving root problems drives organizational learning.

    The Toyota Way incorporates the Toyota Production System.

    [edit]Toyota Production System

    Main article: Toyota Production System

    Toyota has long been recognized as an industry leader in manufacturing and production. Three stories of

    its origin have been found,[where?] one that they studied Piggly-Wiggly'sjust-in-timedistribution system, one

    that they followed the writings ofW. Edwards Deming, and one that they were given the principles from a

    WWII US government training program (Training Within Industry).[citation needed] It is possible that all these,

    and more, are true.[vague] Regardless of the origin, the principles described by Toyota in its management

    philosophy, The Toyota Way, are: Challenge, Kaizen (improvement), Genchi Genbutsu (go and see),

    Respect, and Teamwork.[41]

    As described by external observers of Toyota, the principles of the Toyota Way are:[42]

    Toyota has grown to a large multinational corporation from where it started and expanded to different

    worldwide markets and countries. It displaced GM and became the world's largest automobile maker for

    the year 2008. It held the title of the most profitable automobile maker (US$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 includeScion andLexus and the

    corporation is part of the Toyota Group. Toyota also owns 51% ofDaihatsu, and 16.7% ofFuji Heavy

    Industries, which manufacturesSubaruvehicles. They also acquired 5.9% ofIsuzu 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 gasoline-electric

    vehicles, of which it says it has sold 2 million globally as of 2010,[43]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-

    producedLexus and Scionautomobiles, consistently rank near the top in certainquality and reliability

    surveys, primarily J.D. Power and Consumer Reports[44] although they led in automobile recalls for the

    first time in 2009.[45]

    In 2005, Toyota, combined with its half-owned subsidiaryDaihatsu 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 itsDaihatsu subsidiary it has significant market shares in several

    fast-growingSoutheast Asian countries.[46]

    According to the 2008 Fortune Global 500, Toyota Motor is the fifth 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 US luxury segment leader.

    In the first three months of 2007, Toyota together with its half-owned subsidiary Daihatsureported

    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 Texasadded a facility inSan

    Antonio.[47] Toyota has experienced quality problems and was reprimanded by the government in Japan

    for its recall practices.[48] Toyota currently maintains over 16% of the US market share and is listed

    second only to GM in terms of volume.[49]Toyota Century Royal is the official state carof the Japanese

    imperial family, namely for the current Emperor of Japan.

    Toyota was hit by theglobal financial crisis of 2008 as it was forced in December 2008 to forecast its first

    annual loss in 70 years. [50] In January 2009 it announced the closure of all of its Japanese plants for 11

    days to reduce output and stocks of unsold vehicles.[51]

    Akio Toyoda became the new president and CEO of the company on June 23, 2009 by replacing

    Main articles: Hybrid Synergy DriveandHybrid electric vehicle

    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 theLexus 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, andCamry. 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 (Toyota has said it plans to make a hybrid-electric system

    available on every vehicle it sells worldwide sometime in the 2010s). [58]

    Worldwide sales of hybrid vehicles produced by Toyota reached 1.0 million vehicles by May 31, 2007,

    and the 2.0 million mark was reached by August 31, 2009, with hybrids sold in 50 countries.[59][60] Toyota's

    hybrid sales are led by the Prius, with worldwide cumulative sales of 1.43 million by August 2009.

    [59]Toyota's CEO has committed to eventually making every car of the company a hybrid vehicle.[61]

    [62]Lexus also has their own hybrid lineup, consisting of theGS 450h,RX 400h, and launched in 2007,

    the LS 600h/LS 600h L.

    Toyota and Honda have already said they've halved the incremental cost of electric hybrids and see cost

    parity in the future (even without incentives).[63]Hybrids are viewed by some automobile makersas a core

    segment of the future vehicle market.[64]

    [edit]Plug-in hybrids

    Main article: Plug-in hybrid

    Plug-in Prius concept

    Toyota is currently testing its "Toyota Plug-in HV" in Japan, the United States, and Europe. Like GM's

    Volt, it uses a lithium-ion battery pack. The PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) could have a lower

    environmental impact than existing hybrids.[65][66]

    On June 5, 2008,A123Systemsannounced that its Hymotionplug-in hybrid conversion kits for the Prius

    would be installed by six dealers, including four Toyota dealerships: Westboro Toyota in Boston,

    Fitzgerald Toyota in Washington D.C., Toyota of Hollywood in Los Angeles, and Madison Wisconsin-

    based Smart Motors.[67]

    [edit]All-electric vehicles

    Toyota is speeding up the development of vehicles that run only on electricity with the aim of mass-

    producing them in the early part of the next decade. Road tests for the current prototype, called "e-com",

    had ended in 2006.[68]Toyota has made many concept electric vehicles, including theFT-EV and FT-EV

    II.

    In May 2010, Toyota launched a collaboration withTesla Motorsto create electric vehicles. Toyota

    agreed to purchase US$50 million of Tesla common stock subsequent to the closing of Tesla's planned
