Prehistory

The company began its development in 1933.

The founder of the new department became the eldest son Sakychi Toyoda - the owner of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works.

After a time, Kiichiro made the Toyota brand recognizable worldwide. As the initial investments necessary for the development of the new industry, the funds received from the sale of rights to use spinning machines from the Platt Brothers manufacturer.

Toyota adheres to the opinion that the electric vehicle affects the environment is not so harmful as the hybrid machine does (Toyota Prius).

The company's emblem was officially represented in 1989. It makes up three ovals: two perpendicular to each other oval, located in the center of the emblem, symbolize the client's strong relationships and the company. These ovals are denoted by the letter "T", the title letter of the Toyota brand name. The third oval, performing the role of the background, carries the idea of \u200b\u200bthe inexhaustible potential of the company.

Company

The company's main office is located in the city of Toyat.

Toyota Automotive Plant is the national domain of Japan. The company's concern, in addition to the production shop, is equipped with the exhibition hall and the museum of the history of the famous brand. Toyota opens its plants worldwide: in the Czech Republic, Britain, Russia, China and other countries.

Since 2002, the plant has been operating in St. Petersburg since 2002.

Toyota is actually a huge company. By 1957, the small village of Koromo, in which the company's first plant was located, grew up to the size of this city, after a year he was renamed Toyota-City. The population of the city is 400 thousand people, it is located in the headquarters of the autocontringe, 7 Toyota plants and the main technical center of the company.

The company is also engaged in the production of trucks and buses under Toyota and Lexus brands, as well as Hino, Scion and Daihatsu.

Current position in the global market

Today, Toyota is one of the largest car manufacturers worldwide and the largest national automaker. The average production rate is one machine every six seconds. Toyota is an association from a variety of companies dealing with different sectors of production.

Toyota has implemented about 9.7 million vehicles in 2012 on the world market, thereby exceeding the sale of 2011 by 22%, which fell due to a natural disaster that wrapped in Japan. In the new year, the company plans to increase sales to 9.9 million cars due to reitoring models.

In addition to the car industry, the main achievement under the auspices of the Toyota brand is the achievement in robotics: a robot partner. Its creation was as a result of the company's close cooperation with Technological University of Tokyo. This project has already submitted to the public 10 of its robots and it is not going to stop at this.

Sports achivments

Since 2002, the Toyota team has actively participated in the Competitions of Formula 1. The Toyota Team Europe racing team has been located in the German city of Cologne. The company invests large amounts to its new project, but the results did not justify expectations.

In 2005, Yernoy Trulli took the second place, and Schumacher brought the team two third places. In addition to Formula 1 Toyota participates in such races like Nascar, Super GT, Formula Nippon.

Stamps, hardworking invested marketers in our heads to increase sales of their products, are very diverse. Everyone knows that BMW cars are the most controlled, Mercedes-Benz - comfortable, Volvo are safe, and Toyota is reliable. On the example of the Japanese brand, check, is it really how you want to be assured.

Recently, the "Avtovzalud" portal has published material about the most dangerous on the Russian market, relying on these response campaigns that have recently carried out by manufacturers. Representatives of Toyota did not agree that their car got into the number of "winners", and officially refuted the official refutation of journalistic "fabrications", which we bring without bills.

"On behalf of the company, we would like to indicate the incorrect use of terms and distortion of facts in relation to the company" Toyota ". First of all, we draw the attention of the author and readers to the fact that service campaigns are preventive. Toyota pays special attention to the quality of cars produced. After the sale, the company constantly evaluates how cars behave during operation. From time to time, it may be likely that individual components or characteristics of cars may not comply with the established technical regulations. In such cases, Toyota openly announces the service campaign and freely diagnoses and repair customers' cars.

Secondly, we would like to note that at 6576 cars equipped with an engine with a working volume of 2.0 liters, there is a possibility that in the case of presses and release of the accelerator pedal with a certain frequency, the exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR1) may not be closed Fully due to the incorrect software control unit, as a result of which the outlet gases can be constantly circulated in the EGR system, which can lead to an unstable engine operation at idle and only in an extremely rare case to the engine stop during motion. Not a single case associated with the above situation in Russia was not fixed. "

Well, we will not argue with the opinion of the specialists of the Japanese company, although there are no examples of the "incorrect use of terms and distorting facts for service campaigns" in this text. Moreover, we in principle agree that this kind of stocks are used for the most part as an informational reason - so that the brand is not forgotten. However, in some cases, the driving motive may well be a genuine concern for the client. What, by the way, also wrote a portal "Automotive".

However, by touching the question of the legendary reliability of Toyota cars, let them doubt that it surpasses all the other brands. To begin with, they will compare the results of studies conducted by the Analytical Agency. According to him, as of the beginning of 2016, there were 40,850,000 passenger cars in Russia, of which the cars of foreign brands occupied a little more than half, and more precisely - 58%. At the same time, this year, our fellow citizens and guests of the country acquired for their "iron horses" with foreign pedigree components and 834.2 billion rubles. Unconditional leadership for sales of spare parts for cars belongs to Toyota, which accounted for the sixth part of the total purchase amount. The owners of Toyot spent 134.3 billion rubles for their cars!

At first glance, it may seem that this is a sentence of the reliability of the Japanese company's products. Moreover, the final and appeal is not subject to. However, it is still not so bad. The fact is that 3,544,099 of the Toyotovsk car run on the expanses of our Motherland, which corresponds to 15% of all those who arrived here "foreign cars". Spare parts to them were sold in the amount of 16.1% of the total number of parts implemented to the machines of foreign brands. And yet, the comparison of the last two magnitudes does not confirm the amazing reliability of Toyot.

On the contrary, they resemble the average temperature in the hospital, and with a slope to the side, slightly more "Lomuchi" than in the ordinary case. But we will not run ahead of the locomotive and see what other leaders of the fleet of Russia demonstrate us. For "Toyota" on the total number of cars sold follows another Japanese company. It accounts for 8% of the market and 8.5% spent on parts of money. The proportion is approximately the same, but a little more in favor of "Nissan". They followed Korean with indicators of 6.6% and 6.1%, respectively. Further - French (5.9% and 5.6%) and German (5.7 and 5.5).

In the Toyota car assembly workshop, the young worker at the conveyor suddenly pulls for a special lace located near him. The melody sounds and the entire conveyor stops. The rest of the collectors in the chain are calm, there is no panic, everyone knows - so in practice it works one of the fundamental principles of the production management system (TPS) developed by the company. A young worker just did not have time to spin the nut or put on the puck. And he has the full right to pull for Andon (special cord) and stop the entire conveyor to still make his work. And make it high quality. It will never receive censures or penalties for it, on the contrary - the reason will be carefully analyzed, eliminated interference and are heard, if there are its proposals for improving the workflow at this point of the conveyor. After all, the ultimate goal is the highest level of quality assembly of car Toyota brand.

The model of the sample of 1901, invented by Sakichi Toyoda, was also equipped with an automatic stop system in case of a thread cliff. And although in the modern assembly system, the conveyor stop does a thread - as a modity of a continuous production cycle, interrupted only in the case of a "cliff" of the chain, served as an idea to introduce one of the principles of the TPS system itself, called "Jes". If you try to literally translate the hieroglyphs of this word, it becomes clear that it consists of two words - "man" and "Automation". Andon and Jes are one of the Toyota Quality Second Toyota. We will tell about the rest of the principles below, but for now, back to the Toyoda weaving machines.

Sakychi Toyoda began its first weaving machines at the 20th age, in 1887 later he will have an unsuccessful experience in creating the first own manufactory production, and machines of various designs, including automatic, and, finally, in 1920 . Success is the second large weaving-spinning enterprise, on which 60,000 spikes and 400 weaving machines were the property of Sakichi Toyoda. Now at the Museum of Industry and Technologies Toyota, which is located in the same building, where the Toyoda spinning factory was located, and then - Toyota Motor Corporation, are exhibited by some of those weaving machines.

Although the Sakichi Toyoda did not see during life cars, named after his name, he laid the material basis of the future of the world's largest automaker. A patent for the release of automatic weaving machines developed with the son of Kiechiri, Sakichi successfully sells the British Platt Brothers company. These funds will become a starting capital when after the death of Sakichi Toyoda in 1930, Kiechiri will take over the release of cars.

Starting from the 20s on the Japanese automotive market, American companies dominated. A small market share belonged to Datsun. Obviously, focusing on the consumer who is accustomed to American cars, Kiechiriro makes a decision when the first model is released as the basis of American samples. For several years, designers, on the instructions of Kiechiro, were engaged in the study of cars of the Chevrolet brand, sacrificing them to a screw. Then followed the trip of Japanese engineers in the United States, where they studied the subtleties of production. Finally, in 1935, prototypes of two models were collected - passenger and cargo. They called them, respectively, A1 (AA) and G1. Next year, they went to the series.

Sales began. And in 1937, Kiichiro transforms the department for the production of cars in a separate concern Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. True, the first small model Toyota AA has not been in great demand. The truck was sold more successful because it was possible to establish its supply for the army.

During World War II Toyota supplied Japan's armed forces with simplified variants of several brands trucks. The company's factories have greatly suffered from the raids of American aviation, but this did not prevent Toyota in 1947 to start the release of post-war models on the surviving factories, such as Toyota SB Picap and the Toyota SA passenger car. In the same year, the company will come from the conveyors.

1950 for Toyota was sophisticated. The post-war crisis in Japan gave rise to a threat to the dismissal of employees of the company. The wave of the internal protests, which Kiichiro supported, forced him to resign, demonstrating his solidarity with employees. His place of the managing director is a cousin Eiji Toyoda.

In 1951, the Toyota Land Cruiser Military SUV of Toyota BJ, created with a light-up to American Willis MB appears. Under the hood, the Japanese jeep hid the 6-cylinder engine with a volume of 3.4 liters, in contrast to the 4-cylinder 2.2 liter of the Willis MB motor. The subsequent evolution of the line, continuing up to the present day, turned out, as a result, in the expensive SUV of the luxury class - Land Cruiser 200, without reminiscent of his distant ancestor.

In the meantime, there are serious change in the company, since the question of her survival is raised on the map. Ajdi Toyoda is taken for business, having sleeves. In the first place in importance, it displays the quality of the assembly of cars. Even the construct itself, in his opinion, does not play such an important role. It introduces the principle of "Kaisen", which means quality control at each stage of assembly, and not only at the end of the process. In addition, any employee can be connected to optimizing the assembly process, even a simple worker. If his idea was introduced in practice, he received a solid remuneration. A five-year operation of the equipment upgrades is also being developed.

In 1957, the Gate of the American Market opens for Toyota. Toyota Crown begins to be supplied in the United States, but does not find a response from American buyers. But such, relatively small failures, against the background of the rapid internal evolution of the company, only provoked the strengthening of further growth. Toyota's philosophy continued to evolve. The "Kanban" principle, when components are delivered directly to the place of assembly as needed "accurately and on time", allowed to get rid of intermediate warehouses that correspond to material losses and excessive spending of working time. The collectors order the cards needed with the help of the cards and receive it accurately by date. Then the "Andon and Jeidok" system appeared and described above.

In 1963, the production of Toyota loaders, which comes, including exports, begins. The next expansion of the American market in 1968 with the Toyota Corolla model was more successful. Perhaps the exact hit of consumer requests played their role. The segment of compact, cheap and practical cars has not yet been fully filled with Volkswagen Beetle successfully sold in the US. In a short time, Corolla reached its popularity and sales level. In 1965, the company receives the Deming Prize - the Japanese award for the quality, which rightly followed, as a result of the competent and wise domestic policy of the organization of production. The 2000GT debut, originally oriented on racing routes, took place in 1967. 16 records of speed were delivered on this machine. Today, 2000GT is an exclusive collective sports car, the price of which fluctuates within 100-150 thousand dollars. Million marks reaches exports in 1969. Not only cars are supplied abroad, but also small trucks and pickups, such as - Land Cruiser, Stout, Hi-Lux. In the same year, the company expands its expansion to Europe, discovering the Central European Dealership Office in Brussels.

In 1970, sports Toyota Celica appears, which will also be used in rally races and will undergo until 2007 (the year of the end of the ruler) mass of technical changes. 7 generations with different engines will be released, with all types of drives, with four types of body. Also in the 70s, the production of models such as Carina (sports sedan, produced until 2001), Tercel will be launched (a compact economical front-wheel drive), Corona Mark II (offered as a 4-door sedan, wagon and 2-door coupe). In 1972, the total production volumes for all the years amounted to 10 million units.

In 1980, the annual issue of Toyota is 3 million cars per year and at the beginning of the year there is a 30 millionth machine. In 1982, Toyota and General Motors create a Joint Company to send New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated. Toyota Camry, presented in 1983, became a favorite family sedan in the United States and the most-selling country in the country from 1997 to 2005. Curry is currently sold in 27 countries and produced in 10. In 1989, Toyota is specifically created by the LEXUS luxury brand, discovering the premium car segment. The first models of Lexus LS 400 and ES 250 began to go on sale from September 1, 1989

In 1994, connecting in one model of the quality of the SUV, compact station wagon and efficiency, the company produces. The declared initially, as a car for active recreation of young people, RAV4 with each generation drifts towards the premium car. Since 2010, it has been produced already in the 3rd generation. In 1997, Toyota surprises the world with his contribution to environmental protection, representing a serial model with a hybrid engine. Toyota Prius, which is still manufactured, can work both on a gasoline motor and on electric motors, while recharging the battery comes from the generator or during the braking process. The gasoline engine itself is also unusual. This is the five-way motor of the so-called Atkinson system. It is distinguished by high economy and good environmental performance, but, with a small power, which is compensated by electric motors. In 1998, another one who became popular, model - Avensis appears. The third generation with diesel and gasoline engines is already available, with a 6-speed MCPP or with a variator automatic transmission.

In 2002, Toyota and the PSA Peugeot Citroen Alliance begin to cooperate and open the production of cars in the Czech Republic, the Toyota Scion also appears - the first concept car started into serial production. In 2009, the World Economic Crisis influenced the Toyota, for the first time in 59 years, the company graduated from a minus balance. However, already in 2012, Toyota again came in first place.

For today, the company offers 6 passenger models, such as - Camry, Corolla, Prius, Auris, Avensis, Verso, 4 SUV models - RAV4, Land Cruiser 200, Land Cruiser Prado and Highlander, Hilux Pickup, Minivan Alphard, as well as HIACE minibus .

The main country-producer of Toyota cars is Japan, but with an increase in popularity of the concern's products, there was a need to cover the current demand and opening of new plants.

So, step by step, the production of Toyota was established in many countries of the world - France, Great Britain, Indonesia and others. Not exceptions and Russia, where the products of this brand are especially valued.

About the Toyota manufacturer

Toyota was starting with the manufacture of weaving machines, and only in 1933 a shop on assembling cars was opened.

To date, Toyota is the largest corporations engaged in the production of more than a dozen car models and supplying practical products in all corners of the planet. The main office of the enterprise is based in the same city of Toto.

World War II negatively influenced the company's work, and the production was fully restored only by 1956. A year later, deliveries began in the United States and Brazil, and after another 5 years - to Europe.

By 2007, Toyota deserved the title of the largest automotive manufacturer and to date successfully holds it.

Certain difficulties arose during the periods of 2008-2009, when, due to the financial crisis, the concern finished a year with losses, but after some time the company managed to bypass the sales of such Grande as General Motors and Volkswagen.

By 2015, the Toyota brand cars were recognized as the most expensive and in demand in the premium segment.

The main activity of the enterprise is the manufacture of cars and buses.

The main capacity for the production of cars is located in Japan, but the concern plants are scattered around the world.

Production is conducted in the following countries:

• Thailand (Samutprakan);
• USA (Kentuki);
• Indonesia (Jakarta);
• Canada (Ontario) and others.

Concern's products are sent to Japan (about 45%) in North America (about 13%), Asia, Europe and other regions of the world. Dealer Centers for the sale and maintenance of Toyota are open a few dozen countries, and their number is only grown.

Sales in Russia

The history of Toyota cars in Russia began almost 20 years ago. So, in 1998, a representative office of the concern was opened in Moscow.

The first sales success have shown the correctness of the selected vector, and after some time (in 2002) the company began a marketing and sales company. This year is considered a full-fledged start of activity of the Japanese manufacturer in the country.

In the future, the relationship between Japan and Russia in the automotive and other sectors actively developed. So, in 2007, Toyota Bank began to work in the Russian Federation, based in two cities - St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Financial institutions provided loans to customers and acted as creditors for official dealers of Lexus and Toyota.

By the way, Toyota became the first manufacturer who managed to open his banks in the Russian Federation.

In 2015, the popularity of Toyota cars came to their peak, which was confirmed by a record number of sales. About one hundred thousand cars was implemented through official dealers.

The following models - Camry, RAN 4, Land Cruiser, Prado and others are used in the greatest demand.

Interesting is the fact that Land Cruiser 200 in the premium segment occupies a leading position on sales, and its share is almost 45%.

Models that are collected in Russia -Waving

In 2005, an agreement on the construction of a factory for the production of a car in the industrial zone of St. Petersburg was issued between the Russian government and the Toyota concern.

The project was launched after 2 years, and Toyota Camry became the first "domestic" model.

Initially, sales amounted to 20 thousand cars annually, but the plans of the representatives of the concern had to increase the figure to 300 thousand units.

All machines that were produced in Russia were intended for the domestic market.

Despite the popularity of the products of the Japanese brand, by 2014 the sales decreased, and in the first 6 months about 13,000 cars were made, which turned out to be 1.5% less than in the same period in 2013.

To expand the production, it was decided to supply Toyota Camry, made under St. Petersburg, to other countries - Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Despite some problems, the plant continues to evolve. So, the construction of new stamping workshops has recently completed, and in 2016 it was possible to launch the production of RAV4.

The main question concerns the quality of the assembly, which does not suit many.

In 2013, the release of another representative of Toyota Concern was launched - Land Cruiser Prado. The foundation center was the Far East. At the same time, the beginning of the assembly in Russia did not led to the cheaper products, and prices remained at the same level. The planned production volume is 25 thousand cars annually.

Making machines in the Far East oriented on the internal consumer - the Russian market.

In addition to the mentioned plants, Toyota for Russia is collected in the following countries:

• Japan (Tahara) is one of the largest suppliers. Ten models of cars are produced here since 1918, and the total turnover exceeds 8 million cars annually. About three hundred thousand employees is engaged in service service.
• France (Valnesenn);
• Japan (Tahara);
• England (Bernanton);
• Turkey (Sakarya).

Where is Toyota Camry going?

The Camry model refers to D-class machines. Its production has been established in many countries of the world - China, the Russian Federation, Australia, England, the United States and, of course, in Japan itself.

During the existence, seven generations of the car were released and the manufacturer does not plan to slow down the turnover. Depending on the generation, the machine may relate to premium or to the middle classes.

Until 2008, Toyota Camry was produced in Japan for the Russian market. After opening the plant in Shushary, domestic consumers are offered cars collected on their facilities. This is happening to today.

Toyota Corolla

One of the most sought-after in the Russian Federation is the model. This is a compact vehicle, the release of which has been established since 1966. After 8 years (in 1974), the car fell into the Guinness Book of Records - it became the best-selling in the world.

In 2016, this model was 50 years old, and during this period more than 40 million cars were sold.

Previously, Corolo was gathered only in Japan, at the Takaoka factory. The situation has changed in 2013, when the manufacturer was presented to the 11th generation of the machine.

From this point on, the Corolla assembly for Russia is conducted in Turkey in the city of Sakarya. Deliveries of automotive equipment are carried out through Novorossiysk.

Today, motorists in the Russian Federation are available only by the "Turkish" cars of the Corolla, but in the secondary market you can find this "Japanese".

Many discussions are under review of the assembly quality. According to the reviews of car owners and specialists, it almost never crushed.

At the factory in Turkey, modern equipment has been established, a staff of qualified employees, and the quality control is carried out by Toyota's representatives themselves.

It is worth noting that earlier cars Corolla of the Japanese brand were already produced in Turkey (from 1994 to 2006). Machines were sold not only in the territory of the Russian Federation, but also to other countries.

Toyota Rav 4.

The RAV 4 model deserves popularity, thanks to compactness, solid appearance and rich "filling".

The production of the crossover began in 1994, and the original car was focused on young people. The number "4" in the title means the presence of a permanent full drive.

Today, this crossover takes considerable demand from motorists in the Russian Federation. Until recently, the assembly is made only in Japan on two factories - Takaoca and Taharan. So it was until August 22, 2016. It was on this day that the first car model came down from the factory conveyor in St. Petersburg.

Machines are planned to be sold not only in Russia, but also in a number of other countries - Kazakhstan and Belarus.

Toyota Prado

Model Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - the pride of the Japanese concern. This SUV is considered to be one of the best representatives of the brand.

The benefits include an elevated level of comfort, rich equipment, as well as a chic salon. The car is produced in 3 and 5-door execution.

Starting from the second generation, the production was carried out with a focus on Toyota 4Runner platform, but already from the 3rd generation, production was established under the name Lexus GX.

Cars produced in Japan are the greatest interest in domestic buyers. They are considered to be "purebred Japanese." All three models of Land Cruiser (100, 200 and Prado) are collected in Japan, at Tahar factory.

By the way, in 2013, the assembly of these cars in Russia was launched at the enterprise in Vladivostok, but in 2015 the idea had to be abandoned. The reason has become a low level of sales.

Toyota Avensis

The next D-class representative from the Japanese brand is Toyota Avensis. The main competitors are Opel Vectra and others.

In the European market, the car came to the change of Toyota Karina E, and in 2007 a Wagon Avensis appeared, who replaced Kaldin.

Despite the Japanese affiliation, in the territory of Japan cars never collected. And in general, Avensis is not intended for the Japanese market. The main consumers are the countries of Europe and Russia.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, cars produced in England are mainly sold at the factory in the county of Derbyshire.

The first cars came off the conveyor in 2008, and after a year their number exceeded the mark of 115 thousand. There are no complaints to the quality - everything is done with English accuracy and scrupulousness.

Toyota Hayluux

The Toyota Hilux car presents a special picap of medium sizes, which is sold in Russia since 2010.

Thanks to the longitudinal location of the motor, frame structure, as well as a complete drive, the car has deserved popularity worldwide. To date, eight generations of this car have been released.

For the Russian Federation, Toyota Hilux is collected in two countries - Thailand and South Africa. To speak as a whole, the assembly for other countries is also established in Argentina and Indonesia.

Toyota Highlander

Special attention deserves another representative of the Japanese brand - Toyota Highlander. This vehicle refers to the class of SUVs and built on the basis of Toyota K.

The first idea took place for 2000. The main consumers are young people aged 20-30 years.

Initially, the model was intended for sales only in Japan. By the Highlander class above Rav 4, but is inferior to Prado.

The main consumers of this car are Americans, but certain demand is also in Russia.

The territory of the Russian Federation receives vehicles collected in the United States (Indiana, Prorton) and slightly adapted under local conditions.

Sienna minivans are gather here. The car is also produced in Japan, but these models are sent to EU countries.

Toyota Veza

Toyota Venza car refers to the class of 5-seater crossovers. Initially, the car was produced for the United States, but since 2013 was also presented in the Russian market.

Toyota Veza is positioned as a car for young families who travel a lot and love an active lifestyle. The first sales in the world started at the end of 2008.

The model is characterized by reliability, rich functional filling and comfort. In 2012, shortly before the start of sales in Russia, a restyled version was presented.

Since 2015, the car is not for sale in the USA, and in 2016 sales stopped and in the Russian market. Today, Toyota Veza can still be found in the markets of China and Canada.

Toyota Yaris

Model Toyota Yaris is a compact "Japanese", made in the bodies of the hatchback. Vehicle production started in 1999.

The name Yaris was borrowed on behalf of the ancient Greek goddess of joy and fun (the original name - Charis).

The second name of the car is Vitz, but it applies only to cars produced for the Japanese market.

In Europe and Japan, the car appeared in one year - in 1999. In 2005, auto 2nd generation was represented, and in 2006 sales started in Russia.

Machines of the 3rd generation were performed only in Japan, at the factory in Yokoham, and were intended for the domestic market. Soon the production was started in France, from where the model gets into the EU and Russia.

Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Car FJ Cruiser from Toyota is a compact SUV, which is made in the original retro style.

For the first time, the concept was introduced in 2003, and the production itself was launched two years later.

In the US and Canada, the first sales started in 2007. Externally, the car resembles the FJ40 model, which was released another 50 years ago.

The car is made only in Japan. At the same time, in 2014, sales of this model in the United States were discontinued.

Over the past two years, cars could be purchased in the markets of Japan, China, Australia and a number of other countries. In 2016, the company announced its intention to stop the release of FJ Cruiser.

Toyota Pri.

The electric motor is able to perform the functions of the generator and produce the battery of the battery.

The release of cars is carried out exclusively in Japan, at the Tsutumi factory. In 2015, a new generation of the car was presented, and from February 2017, the first orders were received from Russia.

In the Toyota machines can be located:

• In the left corner of the dashboard;
• Under the front passenger seat (on the right side);
• On the frame of the open door of the driver.

Count the manufacturer's country can be recognized by the first three characters. If the first symbol j, the machine is produced in Japan.

It is also worth highlighting the following options:

Despite the existing difficulties, Toyota continues to develop. And if the old models disappear from the market, they are replaced by even more interesting and modern cars.

It holds the position of the manufacturer and in the Russian market, which is confirmed by the release of new models at local facilities.

An article about Toyota cars - than they are profitable different from other brands. Features of the Japanese brand cars. At the end of the article - an interesting video about Toyota cars.

The content of the article:

Toyota car giant is not only a Japanese economic miracle, not only an advanced developer of high technologies, but a special world with its deep philosophy, a special approach to personnel and thoughtful attitude towards each of its creation. That is why their cars are so distinguished by all other world brands.

1. Conservativeness

The quality of Toyota cars, erected into the rank of "legendary", is largely obliged to certain conservatism of Japanese engineers. It is strange to hear, given the fact that the company is engaged in advanced research. Nevertheless, it is the technical innovations of Toyota that applies hardly later than all other automakers. So it was, for example, with an aluminum cylinder block, to which engineers of the whole world everywhere rushed to replace heavy cast-iron. And Toyota specialists have previously weighed all pros and cons:

• the engine becomes 30 kg easier;
• fundamentally common weight of the car aluminum unit does not reduce;
• certain operational nuances appear, such as stronger block overheating compared to cast iron.

As a result, Toyota engineers learned to produce and apply such blocks, but they did not rush to actively apply them on their models.
A similar situation is the Vacuum Sensor sensor responsible for air flow in the motor control system. Unlike so common Air Flow sensors, they will face almost anachronism, but they almost never fail for the entire period of operation of the car.

2. Suppliers

Take the incredible reliability of cars only due to the skill of Japanese engineers will not work. Models focused on the European market are not made in the subnet meal, but in other countries, including in Russia. However, Toyota can very competently select suppliers of those consumables that do not produce herself. For example, she acquires the entire electronic stuffing from Nippon Denso. Founded in 1949, this company has become the world leader in the production of electricians and electronics, air conditioners and radiators, heater and communications. At the moment it has about 70 production in 22 countries of the world, supplying assembly workshops with the necessary components.

Innovative car candles Nippon DENSO, having a thin in the world in the world, a 0.4 millimeter thickness in the world, provide such a power reserve that guarantees a stable ignition in any, the most extreme conditions. And developed precisely Nippon DENSO U-shaped groove ensures improved ignition and absolute combustion of fuel, at times increasing the efficiency of the car.

Only the resistors decrease not only in the Ignition Candlelines from the company, but also prevent their influence on the navigator, the fuel control system and ABS.

All this in the aggregate increases the overall reliability of Toyota cars, especially in comparison with Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, which use spare parts of the same Mitsubishi and Hitachi.

The same can be said about the wonderful "unnecessary" automatic boxes purchased from Aisin Warner. Two Japanese corporations have been cooperating for a decade, together tirelessly improving the quality of cars produced. Aisin is a major machine-building enterprise, which is a member of the "big three" manufacturers of automatic transmissions. Its products have established themselves since the 1980s, when the Japanese auto industry hung largely into our country. Moreover, those car owners who still go to the models acquired in those days assure that the gearbox is still perfectly functioning.

Of course, there is nothing eternal, but in this case we are talking about the size of the repair. In the context of the automatic transmission on Toyota cars, simple, durable and durable, the scale of repair work is not comparable to the arche compound replacement of electronic elements from other car brands with more "sophisticated" boxes. The reason for this phenomenon is simple - in a simple construct transmissions AISN there is nothing to break. And those insignificant problems that sometimes arise, mostly associated with the wrong operation by the driver.

3. Assembly

Most of its reliability, cars are obliged to the correct assembly process. Each operation produced on the conveyor must be fully completed and has been completed efficiently. To control this action, the workshops are equipped with special devices that do not allow to continue the assembly if something is incorrect.

Thus, this situation cannot occur at the production of Toyota so that the wrong detail goes to the next site, and then it would be finalized. About any deviation from the norm, employees immediately report to leadership, even if it is a trifle in the form not to the end of the twisted bolt. The brigadier tries to correct the problem without braking the conveyor, if it fails, the work stops to analyze the problem and its competent solution.

4. Quality control

The multistage of external quality control system is even more difficult and responsible than the assembly process. Each workshop independently checks the models for the so-called critical points. This is the compliance of the car by the norms of legislation, checking the threaded compounds, security, the level of emissions into the atmosphere and other things. All hinged panels are controlled onto a body geometry, and each 20th body of the body is checked completely in more than 500 control points.

Also, each workshop at the end of the working day is exposed to external inspection, which studies all changes, and especially the deviations that occurred during the production process.

The final inspection expects each manufactured model before shipping to the warehouse. Absolutely all cars are inspected for compliance with the appearance - the quality of the assembly, the paintwork - and the functional characteristics, such as the corners of the collapse / convergence of the wheels, the operation of the engine, chassis and transmission, electronic assistants and other parameters.

5. Innovation

Toyota once again received the title of one of the most innovative automotive corporations of the world. The company has always been focused on constant self-improvement, so annually draws more patents to the latest developments than all other automakers combined. Having its own research center, Toyota incessantly equipped its models all new systems that simplify the owner of the management process. Moreover, the innovations introduced to it are not only actively coming up in the environment of motorists, but other manufacturers take them into service.

Among the latest innovations are worth noting the following:

• adaptive lighting system that sends a beam of light depending on the rotation of the steering wheel;
• built-in air ionizer;
• system Safety Sense, which includes a package of components of pre-emergency security, a warning of traffic violations, automatic switching on the high light for optimal visibility at night and disconnect it when the other vehicle appears on the horizon, the radar for detecting in the dangerous proximity of objects threatening ;
• curriculum monitoring of IDDS is supplemented with new features, such as the reduction of the engine speed during deviation, reducing the power of the steering amplifier, selectively rotate the wheels, the redistribution of the torque;
• continuous improvement of the climate control system;
• replacement of all optics on LED;
• the introduction of "smart" panoramic survey cameras that collect data and transmit them to the central display so that the driver is better oriented in the road situation and predicted the fare of complex parts of the track in advance;
• superior cruise control that supports not only the specified speed, but also the allowable distance to the cargo of the car.

6. Engines

No wonder the people are the opinion that the engines installed on any of the Toyota models are the best. They are really so unique in their kind that connoisseurs of high-quality units will prefer the budget engine from Toyota to a more expensive product of another manufacturer. Why did the engines have won such huge popularity?

1. All cars are very rationally arranged at the boobspace. Therefore, even if the need for repair does not need to disassemble many details and nodes to diagnose or fine repair. All this significantly reduces the inspection and repair works of Toyota cars.
2. The company does not regret funds for the development of its motors, from which they differ really excellent characteristics.
3. Each detail, each part of the engine is selected so carefully to provide the highest possible wear, reliability during operation and good maintainability.

7. Operation

If you compare Toyota cars with Odnoklassniki in terms of engine volume, at the cost of spare parts and other parameters, they significantly won the cost of content. Some car owners may argue that the same German auto industry needs to be repaired much less often. This is true, that's just the most insignificant action regarding the "German" will cost much more expensive to work with the Toyota car.

8. Future focus

It was Toyota first understood the importance of hybrid cars and first introduced his Toyota Prius. Since then, 20 years have passed, and the company sold more than 10 million hybrids. Despite the fact that almost the whole world was confident in the failure of the concept itself and did not believe in the success of the car's series, Toyota has always possessed the gift of providence.

And even the hybrid cars of the Japanese manufacturer differ from similar models. The batteries installed on them, which are also developing Toyota, have an incredible service life, comparable to the length of the life of the machine itself. Engineers ensure that the battery will have to be changed more often than on a hybrid that has a special lithium-ion battery.

9. Cost

Toyota cars can be called folk. The manifold of the model range allows each motorist to choose transport to his taste and wallet. In this fundamental difference of the brand, which immediately positioned himself by a democratic company in all respects. If you compare Toyota cars with direct competitors - "Germans", the latter initially could not boast of budget models than themselves led to the Japanese expansion.

10. Adaptation

Having come to the Russian market and familiarize yourself with our off-road, Toyota tried to maximize their models under the existing conditions. No sensitive suspension, no ceramic spraying on the cylinders and, most importantly, resistance to sharp climate change.
