in Tokyo. In addition to manufacturing automobiles, Toyota provides financial
services through its division Toyota Financial Services and also builds robots.

Vehicles were originally sold under the name
"Toyoda" (トヨダ), from the family name of the company's founder, Kiichiro Toyoda.
Since "Toyoda" literally means "fertile rice paddies", changing the name also
helped to distance the company from associations with old-fashioned farming. The
newly formed word was trademarked and the company was registered in August 1937
as the "Toyota Motor Company".
From September 1947, Toyota's small-sized vehicles
were sold under the name "Toyopet" (トヨペット). The first vehicle sold under this
name was the Toyopet SA but it also included vehicles such as the Toyopet SB
light truck, Toyopet Stout light truck, Toyopet Crown and the Toyopet Corona.
However, when Toyota eventually entered the American market in 1957 with the
Crown, the name was not well received due to connotations of toys and pets.

In April 2002, Toyota adopted the 2010 Global Vision, a vision for meeting
mobility needs in a way that respects our earth and all people. It is made of
long-term policies centered on the basic theme of 'innovation into the future.'
Four key themes based on trends seen as developing from 2020 to around 2030 are;
Toward a recycle-oriented society, Toward the age of IT and ubiquitous networks
Toward a mature society (the decline of nationalism and war and the rise of
respectful exchange of ideas) Toward motorization on a global scale (societies
with little private transport gaining more).
These are linked to the pursuit of a new global image for Toyota with four
key components: kind to the earth, comfort of life, excitement for the world,
and respect for all people. The encompassing motto of "innovation into the
future" is "working with passion and dedication to create a prosperous society."
