Toyota production passes 200m units

Toyota Motor Corporation's worldwide cumulative vehicle production has surpassed 200 million units.

This milestone took 76 years and 11 months to reach, and began with production of the Model G1 truck in August 1935.

The total number of vehicles produced since 1992 at Toyota's manufacturing facilities in Europe, including those in the Czech Republic, France, Portugal, Russia, Turkey and the United Kingdom, reached 7.44 million units at the end of 2011.

The most-produced model among Toyota-brand vehicles is the Corolla (pictured), of which the 11th generation was launched in Japan in May. Over 39.08 million Corollas were produced worldwide as of the end of June.
