Currently the largest automobile manufacturer in the world, Toyota also
tops surveys for the most popular car in the world. Kichiro Toyoda took his

1937. This was after releasing their first product type A engine the year
before that. Now, the company has over a hundred different car models and
specifications that not only keep up with, but also set trends for these modern
times. Toyota currently has 40 vehicle assembly plants all over the world and
12 research and development centers which employ around 310,000 people. Even
with its global success, Toyota has kept its headquarters in Japan.
