Thread: Toyota ostaja št. 1, Outsells GM in Volkswagen leta 2013

Za drugo leto zapored, Toyota je No 1 avtomobilov na svetu, sledita General Motors in Volkswagen.
V letu 2013, Toyota prodajajo 9. 98 milijonov enot po vsem svetu, medtem ko GM in VW preselil 9. 71 milijonov in okoli 9. 7 milijonov enot oziroma. Za 2014, No 1 avtomobilov želi odmor preteklosti 10 milijonov prodanih s ciljem 10. 32 milijonov do konca leta, 4 odstotke povečanje v zadnjih letih skupaj.
Medtem ko Toyota je bilo prvotno predvideno v 2007 da bi premikanje 10. 4 milijonov enot do leta 2009, pot do 10 milijonov prodanih je bilo oteženo, s kombinacijo velike recesije, hitre spremembe v korporacijske kulture, nenamerno pospešek odpoklicev in nesreča Tōhoku Fukushima 2011.
Toyota uvažale št. 1 naslov od 2008 do 2010, na kratko izgublja v letu 2011 na General Motors — kdo izgubil je dejal naslov Toyota v letu 2008 po gospodarstvu za 80 let – pred regeneriranja krono v 2012 z 451,000 enot. Na splošno prodaja med dvema avtomobilov v letu 2013 rose 4 odstotke za GM, 2 odstotka za Toyota.
Čeprav je predsednik avtomobilov Akio Toyoda zadovoljni s novice in možnosti premakniti mimo 10 milijonov mark, nosilec ni motivacijski dejavnik v svoje splošne strategije. Namesto tega, vozil za vse stavbe in spremembe kako so zgrajene, kot so Toyotas novo Toyota nove globalne arhitekture modularni proizvodni sistem, so glavni cilj za globalni avtomobilov št. 1.

For the second consecutive year, Toyota is the No. 1 automaker in the world, followed by General Motors and Volkswagen.
In 2013, Toyota sold 9. 98 million units across the globe while GM and VW moved 9. 71 million and around 9. 7 million units respectively. For 2014, the No. 1 automaker aims to break past 10 million units sold with a goal of 10. 32 million by the end of the year, a 4 percent increase over last years total.
While Toyota originally predicted in 2007 that they would move 10. 4 million units by 2009, the path to 10 million sold was hampered by the combination of the Great Recession, rapid changes in corporate culture, unintentional acceleration recalls, and the 2011 Tōhoku-Fukushima disaster.
Previously, Toyota held the No. 1 title from 2008 to 2010, briefly losing in 2011 to General Motors — who lost said title to Toyota in 2008 after holding it for 80 years — before reclaiming the crown in 2012 by 451,000 units. Overall sales between the two automakers in 2013 rose 4 percent for GM, 2 percent for Toyota.
Though the automakers president Akio Toyoda may be happy with the news and the potential to move past the 10-million mark, volume is not a motivating factor in his overall strategy. Instead, building ever-better vehicles and changes to how they are built, such as Toyotas new Toyota New Global Architecture modular production system, are the main focus for the No. 1 global automaker.
