Toyota Motor

Toyota Motor Corporation is the world's largest automobile manufacturer, producing over 10.5 million vehicles annually across 28 countries. Founded in 1937 by Kiichiro Toyoda as a spinoff from Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Toyota pioneered the Toyota Production System (TPS) — the philosophy of continuous improvement (Kaizen) that became the global standard for lean manufacturing. Toyota's product range spans entry-level sedans to the iconic Land Cruiser, the world's best-selling hybrid (Prius), and the hydrogen fuel-cell Mirai. In India, Toyota Kirloskar Motor is one of the country's fastest-growing car manufacturers, with the Innova HyCross, Fortuner, and Urban Cruiser Hyryder leading sales. Toyota's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 spans multiple electrification technologies: hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and hydrogen fuel cell, reflecting the company's belief that no single technology will solve the energy transition.
