Here’s something scary.
Toyota has, since it first started
producing motor vehicles in 1935,
sold 200 million of the machines
globally so far! Imagine that! The brand that has pushed this number the
highest is the Corolla, having done
about 39 million units so far. That means
if every Corolla ever built was only for Mzansi,
there would be one for every household, with millions more left over for
companies and government etc.
“I wish to express
my heartfelt appreciation to our customers the world over who made it possible
for us to reach this milestone,” says Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda. “I also have the most profound respect and gratitude for the efforts of all
persons who were involved in developing, manufacturing, and marketing Toyota and Lexus vehicles over the years. We are determined to make our cars
even better, to continue to give our customers the best possible product. This is the common goal of our 300 000 Toyota staff members worldwide.”
And with things going the way they are, Toyota looks set to
remain the number one car company in the world, a titled it briefly relinquished to General Motors in 2010.
