Since 1986, Toyota has produced approximately 32 million vehicles in North America. Low fuel prices, the general economy’s sustained stability, and the high customer demand for trucks and SUVs are the main factors influencing this year’s output.
“According to Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota Motor North America, “every component and every car that rolls off the assembly line demonstrates our commitment to safety, quality, value, and, above all, our enthusiasm for exceeding customer expectations” (TMNA). “Our 14 production facilities in North America are home to team members who work tirelessly and with passion to ensure our continued success.
With the Jan. 10, 2018, announcement of a joint manufacturing plant with Mazda, slated to debut in Huntsville, Alabama, in 2021, Toyota will have added its 15th manufacturing facility.
A significant event in 2017 was the line-off of the one millionth Corolla at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi, which marked its tenth year of manufacturing.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky (TMMK), where the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) modifications and other upgrades will be implemented, received a $1.33 billion investment from Toyota earlier this year.
Additionally, Toyota invested $373.8 million in five American manufacturing facilities to enable the production of its first hybrid powertrain made in the United States and to deploy TNGA at its Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Alabama (TMMAL) facility. Investments made include:
- Toyota Motor Manufacturing in West Virginia makes hybrid transaxles ($115.3M)

How many automobiles did Toyota sell globally in 2017?
Japan’s TOYOTA CITY
The amount of automobiles that consumers purchase globally has a higher influence on environmental leadership than the quantity of concept cars unveiled at auto shows. With more than 1.52 million delivered globally in 2017, Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced today that it has reached a significant milestone in yearly sales of electrified powertrains. Selling more than 1.5 million electrified vehicles in a single year, three years ahead of the original target set for 2020, marked back-to-back years of growth and an accomplishment of one of Toyota’s Environmental Challenge 2050 targets. The figure was an increase of 8% over the previous record set in 2016, marking back-to-back years of growth. Additionally, the total number of electrified vehicle sales has surpassed 11.47 million, which equates to a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions of more than 90 million tons versus sales of comparably priced conventional vehicles.
According to Shigeki Terashi, executive vice president of Toyota Motor Corporation, “in just over 20 years, we have witnessed electrified new car sales climb from under 500 sales to more than 1.5 million sales.” “This is a testament from our customers to the quality, longevity, and reliability of our electrified powertrains, and, thanks to them, has led us to establish a solid and sustainable foundation for mass producing a more diverse portfolio of electrified vehicles across our range moving forward,” the company said.
Toyota has improved the technology that serves as the foundation for its electrification efforts since introducing its first commercially available electrified powertrain on the Prius in Japan in 1997. Toyota launched its first mass-produced fuel cell electric vehicle, the Mirai, in 2014, the fourth generation of the Prius in 2016, and the second generation Prius Plug-In Electric Vehicle in 2017. As it now focuses its attention to include the mass production of battery electric vehicles starting in 2020, commencing in China and India, followed by Japan, the United States, and Europe, the firm will continue the development and diversification of electrified vehicles. In order to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from the global sale of new vehicles, Toyota also plans to increase the sales of hybrid electric vehicles in emerging areas.
The initiatives to enhance and diversify electrified powertrain alternatives are closely related to Toyota’s “Environmental Challenge 2050,” which states that the corporation plans to sell 5.5 million electrified vehicles annually by 2030. This goal was revealed in December 2017. To accomplish this, Toyota announced plans to release 10 BEV vehicles globally by the early 2020s, and starting in 2025, the firm wants to provide an electrified version of every vehicle model in its lineup.
