More About: Toyota.
Toyota is a worldwide giant in the automotive field, but started as a division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works in 1933 under the guidance of Kiichiro Toyoda. The company had been pushed by the Japanese Government to create automobiles after the war with China. 1934 saw the firm produce their first engine and in 1935 released a truck and car based on an American design.
The Toyota Motor Company was founded in 1937 as an independent and separate company to the loom works. After WW2 the company itself was on the verge of collapse with just 300 trucks built in 1950. 1950 also saw the founding of Toyota Motor Sales Co.
The 1960s saw even more expansion, commencing partnerships with Hino and Daihatsu, a presence established in Thailand, and a groundbreaking moment in 1963, with Melbourne producing the first Toyota built outside of Japan.
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia itself was founded in 1958, with the famous Land Cruiser vehicle imported in numbers to assist in the Snowy Mountains Hydro scheme. 1963 had the Toyota Tiara as the locally built car under the auspices of Australian Motor Industries, and in 1972 Toyota bought British Leyland’s part of AMI.
An engine building plant in Altona, Victoria, commenced production in 1978, 1981 had specific handling work done for Australian cars and 1994 saw all vehicle manufacturing operations moved to the Altona site, whilst 2006 saw all manufacturing based at Altona.
In February of 2014 Toyota announced they would cease local manufacturing by the end of 2017.
