Toyota Celebrates 30 Million Vehicles Made in North America

This week, Toyota Motor North America celebrated the production of 30 million vehicles, and we decided to do some math.
The first vehicle that Toyota produced in North America, a white Corolla FX16, rolled out of the New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, on Oct. 7, 1986 a little over 18.5 million minutes ago.
In other words, Toyota has since cranked out an average of 1.62 vehicles
per minute, and the automaker’s production pace is only accelerating. It reached 10 million units in 2002, 16 years after that first Corolla. It only took another seven years to produce the next 10 million, and another 12 to produce the next 10 million after that.
Toyota Has Built 30 Million Cars (And Counting) In The US ++ Accumulated over 35 years of building cars for the US market.
Toyota, the most-searched car brand globally and the reigning sales champ of the world, has hit another milestone, albeit limited to the United States. The 30 millionth Toyota has rolled off the assembly line, marking the automaker s strong foothold in the country.
The history of Toyota in the US dates back to more than 60 years ago, but it wasn t until 1986 when the Japanese marque started building cars locally with its joint venture with New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. The first Toyota built in the US was a Corolla.
Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) rolled its 30 millionth U.S.–assembled vehicle off the line this week at its Princeton, Indiana manufacturing plant tucked away in the southwest corner of the state. In a fitting tribute, that “milestone” vehicle was the most recent major model redesign by Toyota to hit the market – the all-new, all-hybrid 2021 Toyota Sienna minivan.
