Toyota Motor Corporation has reached an extraordinary milestone, surpassing 300 million vehicles produced worldwide as of September 2023. The achievement highlights the company’s manufacturing strength and nearly nine decades of innovation in the global automotive industry.
The landmark comes 88 years and two months after Toyota built its first vehicle — the Model G1 truck — in August 1935. Production began under the Automotive Production Division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, the company that would later become Toyota Industries Corporation.

These figures reflect Toyota’s evolution from a domestic manufacturer into one of the most influential automotive brands worldwide.
The vehicle contributing most significantly to this achievement is the legendary Corolla. The globally recognized model has reached over 53.399 million units produced, making it the highest-production vehicle in Toyota’s history.
Known for reliability, efficiency, and broad market appeal, the Corolla has remained a cornerstone of Toyota’s lineup and a trusted choice for drivers across generations.
Chairman and Master Driver Akio Toyoda, along with President Koji Sato, acknowledged the importance of this milestone, emphasizing that it was made possible by the continued support of customers, partners, and employees around the world.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to building ever-better vehicles while advancing mobility for future generations.
Reaching 300 million vehicles is more than a numerical accomplishment — it represents decades of engineering excellence, customer trust, and global expansion.
As the automotive industry transitions toward electrification and smarter mobility solutions, Toyota’s milestone serves as a powerful reminder of its resilience and ability to adapt in a rapidly changing market.
