In August 1935, Toyota manufactured its very first vehicle, the G1 pickup truck. This truck was assembled by the automotive production division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works. Initially, the company was focused on producing automatic looms and was founded in 1926. However, in 1937, the car production division became a separate entity known as the Toyota Motor Corporation. Interestingly, Toyota Industries still produces automatic looms in 2023.

Now, fast forward to today, where Toyota is celebrating a significant milestone in its history. After 88 years since the production of its first truck, Toyota proudly announces the production of 300 million cars. Although the announcement was made today, this impressive accomplishment was actually achieved by the end of September.
