Departing from the textile industry, the company produces one car every 50 minutes was found to have used more because of their mention naming Toyota better than using the family name of its founder, Toyoda. Here are some interesting milestones Toyota trips. 

Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world in unit sales and net sales. Japan's largest manufacturer produces 8 to 8.5 million cars around the world each year. 

Compared with other automotive industries that use the name of its founder as a trademark such as Honda, founded by Soichiro Honda, Daimler-Benz (Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz), Ford (Henry Ford), Toyoda name not be used as a brand. Since departing from simple ideas and vision that time, the mention of Toyoda less pleasant to hear and not so familiarly known spoofed into Toyota.

Four years of waiting is enough spawned its own automotive company and break away from their textile industries. Then in 1937 they inaugurated the automotive division and using the name of Toyota, not Toyoda as the name of the textile industry. Intake in Japanese Toyota name represented in 8 characters, and eight is a lucky number for Japanese society. Another reason that makes sense is considered the automotive industry is a lifestyle business and even the mention of a name (and what it sounds like), a side that is so important. Because the name Toyoda considered too rigid in the dynamic business that is converted into a Toyota that feels better. No doubt, 1937 is an important era of the birth of Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. forerunner giant Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC) now..and in 1938, established Koromo Plant in Japan (now named Honsha plant) which is Toyota's Establishment Exhibit Room.
