It was back in August 1935 when Toyota produced its very first vehicle, a G1 pickup truck, which was technically assembled by the automotive production division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works. This original company was founded in 1926 and made automatic looms before a standalone automotive department was spun off from the car production division in 1937 as the Toyota Motor Corporation we know today. Fun fact - Toyota Industries still makes automatic looms in 2023.
