Toyota is de aller grootste autofabrikant van de wereld. Maar hoe ziet dat er nu uit op de wereldkaart? Waar staan de fabrieken en hoe groot zijn deze? Wij hebben met verbazing zitten kijken in hoeveel landen Toyota auto’s maakt. Kijk eens in Europa hoeveel er al staan en bedenk dat Toyota daar de komende jaren nog wat bij gaat bouwen. Let op alles is in het Engels.
Elsewhere in this issue, you’ll read about the resurgence of Japanese performance. When it comes to sales performance, though, Toyota is already tops. It has sold more vehicles than any manufacturer for six of the past seven years, topping 10 million sales worldwide in 2014. But last year, many of this giant’s headlines focused on its decision to consolidate its U.S. operations from California, Kentucky, and New York in Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The stated intent is to integrate disparate engineering, manufacturing, and financial arms into a streamlined entity better equipped to operate in North America. The move is expected to relocate about 4000 employees.
But the U.S. is only a wave in Toyota’s vast ocean. For an enterprise of this scale, the 4000 jobs moving to Plano represent barely 1 percent of its worldwide workforce. The company relies on hundreds of thousands of people in nearly 30 countries to engineer, design, and build the vehicles it sells in more than 160 countries. Here is a look at the infrastructure necessary to be the largest (known) auto manufacturer in the Milky Way.

Ik heb nu bijna 6 maanden een Honda in mijn garage die in zeer goede staat is. Mijn neef zag hem en wilde hem oplappen. We hebben overal in de stad gezocht naar auto-onderdelen totdat een dikke monteur ons adviseerde om deze website te bekijken https://www.japoto.nl/honda-civic-onderdelen. We hebben de uitlaatpijp al gekocht en zijn van plan deze dit weekend te vervangen. Alle advies of tips om deze uitlaatpijp te vervangen zijn van harte welkom. Overigens is de Honda uitgerust met een bodykit voor de inlaatpijp.
